Review on 🧢 Knitter's Pride Basix 40-Inch Fixed Circular Needles, Size 50 (25mm) by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sews well and knits evenly

I've been thinking about knitting a throw for a long time. Ever since I found out I'll be working in Boston later this year, I've made it a goal to start and finish the quilt before I leave so my boyfriend can pick it up while I'm gone. I'm using Lion Brand's Natural (Ivory) Fishing Wool and their Lover's Knot Afghan pattern with these needles. The recommended needle size is 5-5.5mm, but I reduced it to 6.0mm to increase the stitch spacing and hopefully make the quilt less heavy in the long run. The needles are well made - the wood is smooth and the line is secure, so I'm not worried about it coming loose when the blanket arrives. I will update in a few months

Pros
  • Package dimensions: 230L x 25.97H x 110W (mm)
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
