I searched (and searched and searched) for a new set of knitting needles, regardless of price, and came across this. I saw mostly positive reviews and also noticed that some of the reviews included free or discounted products (no rating here, just an observation). I paid for them myself. I use them every day for an Afghan project I started the day I got them about a week ago. I'm so happy with them so far. They are very comfortable and easy to hold (I use the pen hold method). The needle has a flat part for the holding area. The kit is wonderful. I like the blue dot cover which is easy to wash. In addition to nine handy knitting needles, there is a small inner mesh compartment that offers space for a few goodies. So far I've used a few useful things including a stitch counter, scissors, tape measure and stitch holder, and a ruler that has its own slot in the case. I will be using large yarn needles as I complete the work at the end of the project. Most likely, by the holidays, I plan to buy several additional sets: for mother, daughter and daughter-in-law. The needles are smooth. I've never had a problem with my needles. My only concern was whether I could keep enough stitches on the needle.
