Interchangeable Knitting Needles Are the Bee's Knees!
My sister bought me a set of Denise Interchangeable Knitting Needles for Christmas. The sizes range from US 5 to US 15 with various cable lengths that can be used individually or connected to make a larger needle size, including circular needles.
The set is wonderful! I've made good use of them. They come in a small kit that fits easily into a knitting bag. The needles are plastic so they are very light and very quiet to work with. I prefer that over the clink of the aluminum needles. If I need to change needle size, I just change the tip of the needle. I can even use the cables to hold stitches by using an extra connector to make a ring or by using two extra end pieces.
Another great thing about this set is that I don't have to dish out money for more needles unless I need needles smaller or larger than the set provides or if I need double pointed needle sets.
When I first tried them, the tips kept falling off. But I finally read the simple directions and found out you had to twist them a quarter turn to get them to stay put. Then it was smooth sailing after that.
Happy knitting!
