Denise Interchangeable Knitting Set
My boyfriend bought this for me as I never had the right needles for the project (we all know how frustrating that is!). Now, I pretty much have all the right needles, but I don't really enjoy knitting with them. These needles are plastic, which is good because if you like to knit on the plane, theoretically you can take them on board. I haven't tried this yet, however, as I fear that they will still make me throw them away for some ridiculous reason (like threatening the pilot the I'll knit him a cheesy Christmas sweater or some itchy socks). I personally prefer metal needles and I find that these tips are a little too blunt and the smaller ones are a little bendy, which I don't like so much. The thing that bothers me the most is that the cords are pretty thick and inflexible and if you are knitting with a small gauge needle the yarn just doesn't slide around on the cable very well. The yarn also gets caught on the connectors, which is really irritating. I have to constantly stop and go through the process of pushing all the stitches around to create some slack. Bottom line: I am glad I have them if I want to start a new project right away, but I often find myself buying a set of metal ones and using them instead, thus defeating the purpose of the set.
