Love2Knit Interchangeable Knitting Needle Set, US5-9

Absolutely my favorite!! So much so that I bought both sizes of kits, twice in case they suddenly disappeared. Highly recommend these. I'll never know on anything else!! Thx!!

I like these better than I expected, given my preference is carbon steel needles, and they have both pros and cons which I'll list below.PROS: The needle points have just a bit of give to them--they aren't completely rigid, which is one of my pet peeves with plastic needles, so they feel more pleasant in my hands while knitting. The needles stay hooked to the cables well--much better than other interchangeable needles I've tried, and the join is smooth.CONS: The cable has a much larger diameter than I would prefer! This isn't much of an issue with the size 6 tips and up, but the size 5 tips are exactly the same diameter as the cables. I find circular needles work much better when the cable is thinner than the needle tips. In addition, the material the cable is made of is not at all slick which means stitches do not slide freely on it. It is almost like it's meant to have stitches grip it. That might be a plus for some people but for me it means extra time spent pushing my stitches onto the tips. I have pretty middle-of-the-road tension when I knit--not tight, not loose--but especially with the size 5 tips I find that stitches do not always move freely from cable to needles.IN SUMMARY--I like this set but there are a few things about it I would change. Namely, I think the size 5 tips don't work on it as well as they could and I find the cable a bit too thick and "grippy." That being said, it's nice and portable, the needles feel rather nice in the hand, and the joins are great--smooth without the tips falling off. I like it well enough that I plan to get the larger size set. I still prefer carbon steel circular needles but this is a great little set for times I don't want to bring a bunch of extra supplies with me, such as while traveling.

I started with the FLEX double-pointed needles, and I loved them so much decided to get the set :). The are light, slick and sooo very comfortable. I'm a beginner knitter, and learning continental style knitting. With the conventional needles, I am slow. I was using the wooden needles. Although I like them,there is a drag between the yarn and wooden needles; which I was getting used to. I also tried the steel needles,and did not like them at all.T he clicking of the steel was like nails scratching the chalk board. Plus, in winter, those needles were cold and not comfortable to my hands - this is why I decided to go with the wood ones. But after using these needles, I don't want to use anything else. These needles make me go fast, no drag, no coldness and no clicking. They are just awesome!!! Interchanging the cord is also simple - don't need a special tool to unlock. Just twist and you're set. I'm knitting a long cardigan, and was worried the cord would snap undone. But everything held up. Plus, which I did not know this until received my needles in the mail, part of the proceeds go to breast cancer. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.

Denise interchangeable needles are great. Most interchangeables screw in, but Denise snaps in. The cables do not unscrew while knitting. I recommend these knitting needles and cords. I bought a set of needles for myself, and I liked them so much I bought a second set (the complete set size 5 to 15) as a gift for my sister. When I first got them I was afraid the plastic would stick to the yarn, but it doesn't. The yarn slides nicely over these needles, very smooth joins, and nice smooth surface on the needles themselves that does not stick to the yarn. I wish I had known about these needles when I first started knitting. I would not have wasted money buying other brands. It is true that the smallest size in the set is US size 5, but they are absolutely worth getting. I bought this smaller set first, because I wasn't sure what I would be getting and I didn't want to spend as much money as a full set, in case I didn't like them. But I did like them. I also like the cute packaging the love2knit comes in. It is very compact.I also got a single Denise interchangeable crochet hook in size 7, which I attach to the end of the knitting cable and use to pick up stitches. The stitches are easy to pick up this way and slide right onto the cord. When I am finished picking up all the stitches, I just pop off the hook and pop on the knitting needle and I'm ready to go. So much easier to pick up lots of stitches this way.

Smooth, love the colors, Easy super easy to put together and they stay!!

I have been knitting with these needles since they arrived. They are wonderful. They feel good in my hands and the cables are relaxed and easy to work with.Best of all is the way the needles connect to the cable. Insert cable end in needle, turn right one quarter to snap into place. The connection is very secure and no tightening key is needed.To remove the needle from the cable, turn it one quarter turn to the left. It instantly releasss.These needles are so comfortable that I am also using them for straight knitting. Just change hands at the end of a row. The knitting is securely supported by the cables.No more fatigued hands!

My wife wished the cords were shorter in length, 20,24, and 32 are to long for her needs.

I have to say that these needles are great! I have the other set (size 10-15), and I like those a little bit better. The cords remain secure in the needles when you are working with them, which is a huge relief as I have heard other brands come unscrewed. The plastic on the smaller needles is a little more flexible so you can feel the needles bending as you're knitting. It's never caused any problems on my work, but it can be a little irritating when you're trying to work with some tighter stitches. Other than the plastic bending, this set is fantastic! I only wish it came with a 9" cable for smaller projects.

The Denise Interchangeable Knitting Needles is gem I cannot expree how easy it is to knit with them I wish I had known about that before as frm old traditional knitting needles I suffer from arthritis in my thumb. Any who have problems with the hand. This is the best knitting needles sets
