I ordered two sizes, 1 and 2, and am using size 1 for a pair of socks. I love the feel of this needle in my hands. It's light and somewhat flexible. The small bulges at the tips serve their purpose perfectly and at least for me they don't affect the knitting speed. Since I knit very close to the needle tips, the little bumps help me a lot not to lose stitches. They are longer than normal and I can see how comfortable they are for knitting sleeves and some large hats. I got used to the extra length very quickly. If I have any doubts, it's their sizes. For example: Your box says the needle size is US 1.2.5mm. US1 is 2-1/4 according to my arrow. Of course I'm being disingenuous here, but if they claim a needle is US 1, it must meet our needle measurement standards. The socks I knit always use number 2. To get the thickness I had to use number 1 with loose yarn. Of course, your mileage may vary! π I will be buying some more of these in the future, just not what the template calls for.
