Review on Circular Knitting Needles 3016 9 08 by Carla Anderson

I don't know what the other reviewer was expecting. If Clover made these needle tips 4 inches long like their regular circles, the connecting cord could only be 1 inch long, making it impossible to bend enough to move around in circles. With smaller circular knitting needles, the tips must be shortened. However, these needles are great for a casual pair of gloves or socks. I've read about bamboo tips breaking but so far I've made four gloves on mine and haven't had a single break and the tips haven't dulled like bamboo needles sometimes do. Highly recommended. They were a little uncomfortable at first, but when I got to the end of the first glove's cuff I found a way to hold them so my knitting was as quick as with longer gloves. circuses.
