Love2Knit Interchangeable Knitting Needle Set, US5-9

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.

I love the plastic needles. I really enjoy this brand. I just bought another set of needles from them and I plan to buy more. The fun colors are a plus.

This is my first pair of interchangeable needles and I'm very impressed. I can knit faster with these and put less tension on my hands. I think the price was fair and the product is looks durable.

Perfect sizing. Easy to use and flexible.

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.

Smooth, love the colors, Easy super easy to put together and they stay!! Have both regular and short tips circular sizes in bold AND pastel colors! Definitely recommend. These are my go- to plastic/ acrylic circulars!

I can't say enough about these wonderful needles! Knitting on a circular for straight knitting, you don't have to worry about your project falling off the needle if you need to set your project down for a bit. These are wonderful, durable needles that work well with the Denise Interchangeable knitting needle sets.

I bought this because, I thought they were cheaper than a higher quality set (like Chiaogoo, or Knitter's Pride), so I could try an interchangeable set and see if I liked them. I usually use fixed length needles or single points. They're not actually cheaper when you consider that other sets come with more sizes in a single set, so if you buy the same number of sizes of Love2Knit you're actually spending the same amount of money as if you bought a Knitter's Pride set. I found that my acrylic yarn slides easily along the needle tip, but doesn't move as easily across the cord. I did not try this set on wool or cotton. The connection between the tip and cord is a proprietary locking mechanism that I found to be a little loose and because it's all made of plastic I felt like I had to be very careful not to break it. Overall if you're looking for a good interchangeable needle set that will last you through many years of knitting I would not recommend this set, but if you are teaching someone to knit and don't want to spend the money on a full set of needles this set will work as a starter.
