Review on Celine Lin Stainless Steel Circular Knitting Needles Set - 11 Sizes, 16 inch (40cm), 1.5mm-5mm - with Case by Kim Sanchez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for small hats. and Mittens

I'm usually a fan of bamboo, but I don't like the 16 inch bamboo needles I've tried. etc. in everything I've tried. I rarely use anything over US 8 so I liked that it was a small set with no needles which I would never use. the spoke ends are slightly tapered to reduce stress on the joint. I find that a 16 inch circle is the best way to knit soft yarn or fair ail hats because you don't have a corner for floats to pucker. Since purchasing this set I have made 4 hats - one in US sizes 2 and 3 (fingerknit) and three in US sizes 6 and 7 (worsted). My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner! I checked my needles for thickness and here are the US sizes that match the listed Asian (European?) sizes: 6:US 8 7:US 7 8:US 6 9:US 5 10:US 3 11:US 2.5 12:US 2 13:US 1 14:US 015:US 00 16:US 000 I'm editing my review to say I bought the SECOND set because I love them so much. I usually use a magic loop for socks and mittens, but thought I could try two 16" needles instead and I love it!
