Yes, that's my leg down there. Don't look at it. look at the pretty needles.
Size 17s.
All lined up!
Cables, all of them! ^_^
Cables squished in the bag. I really hate plastic, and something must be done about the proliferation of plastic in this storage setup.
Hey! Where did that other cable go?
Tee hee! A fully assembled size 7 24" circular needle!
I am very pleased with the set so far - the joins are smooth, the connections (using the little key) are tight. Now to go make something and see how good I am at knitting in the round. o.O
I like the fact that I have OPTIONS - I could connect two different sizes, like for casting on. I could use them as very long straights. I can fit the entire set encompassing 10 sizes of needles and 5 lengths of cable into my backpack. (I probably won't, but I COULD IF I WANTED TO!) Also, the tips are joyfully pointy! I like my tips sharp, it gives me better control (I knit Frenchy, that is, Continental) and the wood has good grabbityness. It's also very light. Lighter than I thought it would be. The tips are also smaller than I thought they would be. It's just weird. I'm very glad that I didn't invest in a bunch of individual circulars before buying these (in fact, I have no circulars, just a bunch of vintage DPNs. They are very sharp. Someday, I will get them onto cables.) and overall these are a much better value. I like interchangeable sets in general, and I'm very pleased with my purchase from KnitPicks.
Next month, I'll be completing my collection with the missing tips and maybe getting a few non-interchangeable needles in lace sizes.
