Denise Needles Denise Interchangeable Knitting Needles Kit, Blue Brights

Had a set of these years ago. Time passes and hobbies change. Took up knitting again about a year and a half ago and discovered these were still available and I was thrilled to get them again. I was highly disappointed that the cables are not very sturdy. After doing just two baby afghans projects on them, one of my cables cracked about a half inch from where they connect and I can no longer use that cable. Other than that love the convenience of them and the easy connect.

I LOVE THESE NEEDLES!!! This is my first set of needles so maybe I'm missing something but for me these are absolutely perfect. They come in a great variety of sizes and are super easy to snap on and off the cords included while almost never falling off (this happened once to me while I was fiddling with a weird stitch. But only once in almost a year of near daily use). The cords also come in a nice variety of lengths so you can easily choose the right size for your project. I especially like that you can take a pair of needles off an unfinished project to use on another one without compromising the first one. The case they come in is pretty durable and I've taken it with me lots of places with no issues. The fact that they are circular needles means it is much harder to lose one needle and much easier to transport anywhere without a fuss. They are plastic and pretty blunt as well so I'm not worried about them stabbing through bags or anything.When I bought them I think it came out to like 5-8 dollars per pair of needles, not including the cords and the little extras it came with. I think that's an absolutely fair price. I am an avid knitter and use these almost daily and have barely had any problems.The only problems I've had with this are that the smallest pair of needles bends a little bit if you're knitting very tightly, and if you twist your work around just right the needle may twist off the cord. It's very very easy to overlook these problems though. I had to think very hard to remember if I had actually had any problems with these. I would highly recommend these to anyone who wants a set of versatile, easy to use, and easy to transport knitting needles. This is a nice big set of great needles and cords that could easily have you set for life. These are absolutely worth buying, especially if you want to knock out getting a bunch of different sizes in one go. The kind that I got is all different colors (which I prefer) but you can get ones that are all the same color as well.

I have been looking for good hooks for Tunisian crochet to make large items such as lap robes and shawls for hospice and nursing homes. The best I had found so far were bamboo with plastic tubing extensions, but they don't come big enough. I like to use a 17 hook with knitting worsted weight yarn. This results in a fabric that is light and warm - seems to feel like thermal fabric. I need about 20" to hold all the stitches.I do need to use a paper clip to attach the extenders to begin with, but with use they loosen up. But, they do lock in place well.My only complaint is that the hooks are not quite long enough. A standard crochet hook is 6" long - These are 4 1/2" from tip to taper. I am concerned that the weight of the stitches, held by the last 3 fingers on the right hand holding the hook putting stress on the attachment mechanism.I'm a knitter, not a crocheter - don't like to crochet and couldn't get used to holding the hook like a pen! I like the Tunisian crochet simple stitch. For my purposes, lap robes and shawls, it works well as many of the recipients really need light weight yet warm shawls and lap robes. I had been knitting the same items with knitting worsted and 10 1/2 circular needles - the Tunisian crochet is better and actually uses less yarn for the same yardage.I intend to replace my interchangeable knitting needle set with the set by this manufacturer. I like to make sweaters for children (top down/one piece), but all the kits I have seen and used before use screw on extenders which sometimes strip and have inflexible connectors. The 4 1/2" knitting needle won't be a problem.

I love this set so far and have used it quite a few times. I haven’t had any sticking at the joints nor had the connections come undone. The plastic needles are not as slippery as metal but you can still work quickly, I don’t feel like the plastic is holding onto my yarn at all.I love that is comes with the cord joins so you can customize cord lengths - I’ve found these particularly useful when knitting something in the round and wanting to try it on part way through the job. Adding on the extra cord closes off the work so you can try it on and see where you may need to makes changes/start shaping/check length etc etc.One thing to know if buying this set is that the shortest cord (and maybe second shortest) can’t be used on its own so is only there to use as part of a customized cord length. But you can definitely use the magic loop to create smaller rounds! I would recommend ordering an extra set of longer cords if you plan on using magic loop or making blankets. And if you are into bulky/super bulky yarns I would also recommend ordering the size 17/19 needles add-on.Happy knitting!

Ya los estoy utilizando y son muy buenos, nunca habia tejido asi q son buenos para principiantes!! Ya hise mis primeras medias !! XD

I love my denise needles.My first choice when knitting hats as i know I am going to find the right size cable and needle in my kit.I went for this over the standard as the bright colours make it even more fun to use.The cables can be a bit stiff when they are cold but they dont bither me, i like the fact they are thicker than standard cables as your stitches slide round them better than thinner ones.The click connection works well too, i haven't had an issue of them coming apart like i have with other brands.
