I've been playing with knitting needles I came across inter-changeable circular needles, the ones I've gotten to play with are the Knit Picks Nickle Plated Circular needles. Here is the picture of the set I've been playing with. If you are looking to pick up a set there are many on the market but these are the ones from Knit Picks.
The only problem I've had with this set was something that's an easy fix. Whenever I was knitting they started to undo themselves, it got infuriating, I was losing stitches and I honestly had started to dislike these needles because of it. It wasn't until my mother and I expressed our distaste for the needles that we got shown by the lovely owner of Rosehaven Yarn Shop who was a wonderful woman to chat with, as well as very knowledgeable. I met her at her stall in the CreativeFest.
The fix! You see that small metal thingamajig? (Yes that is a technical term!) Well that is what you use to make the needles stop undoing while knitting.
Put together and awaiting the final step before an awesome project.
Pin in the needles, you use it to help provide more torque, allowing you to tighten it enough to allow the needles to not undo.
This is how you may turn it, if you need to change the needles, just insert and and turn.
Aside from that little bump in the road I love these needles, and am looking forward to getting the wooden set soon.
