Before I bought these, I already several 16" circular needles in the sizes I typically use for hats, but only some of these were bamboo, which I've had a preference for as of late. I decided to give this set a go after good luck with some double pointed bamboos I picked up on revain, and at around $1 per pair, it was a steal!My biggest problem is that the cord connecting the sticks is an actual tube. It's relatively flimsy and bends, so the project doesn't "flow" as it should (there's a lot of manual pushing of stitches). I've never had anything bend, but it creates a fold where the entire project has to be adjusted to get past it to pull the bend out of the cord.While I can't say that I regret my purchase, I'll still go to my higher quality circulars first, but it's nice to be able to have extra to lend out to friends who are just learning to knit. Also, they come with a guarantee for free replacement, so that makes me feel a bit better about owning them.If you're a new knitter, then you may be better off just getting the sizes you need in a better brand.
