Solid and sleek kit. Has pretty much everything you need to get started or continue a knitting hobby. I love the red color, and the hooks are pretty interesting to hold and handle. Not as much a fan of the bag. Functional but a little underwhelming.

I do a lot of knitting, and I typically have at least a half dozen projects in progress at any given time, plus a couple of older projects in Time Out that I prefer not to take off the needles. Plus I have some emergency packs -- worsted weight cotton and a circular US8 needle -- in each vehicle, as I can always start a new washcloth.Bottom line is that I am never going to be able to function with just one set of interchangeable circular needles. All of that to say - I certainly welcomed the opportunity to add another set to my collection. Prior to ordering these, I had two sets of needles that are my 'go to' needles for normal sizes (roughly US5 to US13), one set for smaller projects (US1 to US7), and shorties for sock knitting that also work for some other small projects. In addition, I have a couple of "back up" sets that I can use if my "good" needles are in use, and some random fixed circulars.Now, however, I have three sets of needles that are my 'go to' needles for normal sizes. This set (which includes all of the normal US sizes from US3 to US15 except for US10.5, and also includes a US2.5) also helps me in the bulkier and smaller end, which is fantastic.When these arrived, I put on the US10 (6mm) needles, and cast on a hat. The needles went on easily, and there is an incredibly smooth join. Using the needles to make the hat, they are fairly pointy, so they are really great for lace types of stitches - make 1, K2tog, SSK, knit or purl through the back loop, all that kind of thing. They feel good in the hand, and as they are metal, they are not really "grippy" which helps in knitting fast. The downside of metal needles is that fact also - stitches do slide easily, so it is easier to lose stitches on these needles than on bamboo or something. That is not an issue for me.After finishing that hat, I tried the smallest needle and the largest needles, and those went on easily with very smooth joins as well. That is where I usually find problems with lower quality sets: either the smallest needles connection is just off enough to snag the yarn, or the largest needles are. I tried the cord connector to make a super-long cable, which was also smooth and not likely to snag.Be aware that the cable lengths listed in the description are the actual cable lengths, so your 15.6" cable gives you a roughly 24" needle.I started another hat, this one using two strands of worsted weight yarn held together. I wanted to see how this felt, and it has worked out well also. After I got a couple of rows knit up, I switched the needles out for the included ends, as I was wondering how secure those would be. I think I could rough up my project enough to get a strand of yarn to come off the cable, but I would really have to work at it.The needles are kept on a stiff insert that does hold the needles pretty tightly. They are still easy to get out. I love, love, love how easy it is to read the sizes (which are all in mm). No squinting and turning to try to make it out. The cables have a little zipper bag, and the accessories have a little plastic pouch, and there is plenty of room in the faux leather bag for them to fit.So bottom line is: these needles are absolutely in my regular go-to needle stash. It is going to complement them quite nicely, as the other sets I have include: US5 to US17; US2.5 to US11; and US1 to US7.If this set included a US10.5 (6.5mm), I think it would be something I'd consider to be my 'perfect' set.

I have been a knitter for almost 25 years now. I've used a lot of different needles - including aluminum needles - and I have my favorites. This set is exceptional. It comes with 12 set of needles from 3mm-10mm, 4 cables for varying lengths, cable extenders, and keys tightening the screws. Each of the needles is sharp (very pointy) and is screen printed in bright white easy to read numbers for sizing. The cables are slim and very flexible, but not rotating like the ChaoGoo cables. The set is wonderfully packaged. You won't need to buy another needle pouch to hold them. They come in a faux leather envelope that's felted inside to prevent scratching your needles. The needles themselves are attached to inflexible insert with elastics. The elastics are tight. They're not going to move or slip out. Why this kind of packaging didn't come about sooner, I'll never know. The creator/designer of this set seemed to really listen to what knitters want when it comes to their needle set. These would be great for beginners and people like myself with aging eyes. They're comfortable to hold, and I think even though I started my current project with my Knitpicks Laminated needles, which I love, I will finish it with this set. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

First impressions, an attractive well made case with a secure snap fastening.The needle stalks firmly attached to their board by elastic loops, slid from the case easily. Plenty of room for the cords and accessories in strong packets.Needles are lightweight and smooth, sizes correct and clearly marked. Points well shaped, tips felt slightly rough but did not catch when knitting ......it was a pleasure looking at the 'Rose Gold 'color I chose!Flexible cords all attached to stalks smoothly without gaps.Spacers, cord end caps and tightening keys did the job intended.I hope replacement cords will be available and would prefer clear cords with the Rose Gold set....yellow cords function well but aren't so pretty.

I travel a lot and always want to take my knitting with me, but its often hard to know which needles to bring and I always find the ones I want were left home. This set of interchangeable needles fixes so many of the issues. It is compact and will fit in a small bag or luggage. It has everything you need with all sizes of needles and various cable lengths. I can bring this with me no matter where I go and I am always prepared.

The quality of these needles is mid. They're aluminum and reasonably smooth. I was able cast on and to complete a test swatch fairly easily. The needles have the mm needle size printed on. Most patterns do use the mm measurements but there are no letter sizes printed on.If I had one complaint about the needles themselves, it's that they're a bit on the shorter side. They just fit in my very small palms. If you have bigger hands that could be a problem.What I do see being an issue down the line is the screws in the cables. If you have bad eyes, this is not the set for you. You have to screw the cables in and the teeth themselves lead me to believe that these will wear down over time.Nevertheless, it comes with a cute case and if you are traveling this would be a good option.

They arrived very quickly and are great quality. I love them!
