Great set for beginners

If like me you're new to knitting and still looking for the perfect needles, this set is a great choice. I've already made sure Knit Picks has quality needles that are comfortable, durable, and attractive. The ability to switch cables to circular spokes is great. They attach securely so I don't worry about them coming loose and losing my work, which is devastating in my early learning phase. I used their wooden needles and I really like them, but I wanted to see what the difference was with the

Pros
  • Always popular
Cons
  • Expensive

Experienced Knitters Know Best

Experienced knitters know to avoid this product. As a beginner I naively thought I could use this as a starting point for knitting in the round. However. I quickly realized that almost all types of hats require knitting needles with a difference of 2 sizes. There are size 6 and size 7 in the set, so you need to buy another set of needles to knit the hat. Also, the included cables (40" and 16") are unusual sizes, making it difficult to find a project that uses both lengths (yes, you can adjust…

I love these things!

Learning to knit at home during the virus and frustrated with the cheap knitting needles bought at the local store. I saw a video review of these needles and decided to try them. Wow! Doesn't matter! I absolutely love these needles and can't wait to order the full set. I've used laminated birch and nickel plated needles and can't decide which I like best. As a beginner knitter, I'm heavily biased toward laminated birch as my favorite simply because the stitches don't slip and slip as much. But…

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Fading

Wooden pin missing

Update: KnitPicks (manufacturer/company) will not replace the missing wooden pin as I bought it from Revain as a retailer and not KnitPicks as a retailer. I'm already the third buyer who may have had a bad experience with the same set. On the same product page there are other reviews of missing needles (one was completely missing, the other was metal) - so this seems to be a common problem. I was hoping to post a good customer service story about the KnitPicks brand, but unfortunately my first…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn

I have a question. Are Mosiac Wood Nozzles available in SQUARE SHAPE? If so, then this will be my next purchase. THE NEEDLE IS AMAZING. I need a variety of colors, although we need green yarn on green needles to see for me. So noaiacs that you plan by the color and size of the needles, you can completely solve that I think and use them all happily. I REALLY WANT A SET OF REPLACEMENT SQUARE knitting needles in the colors of THE MOSIACS, #SANTA! IF YOU LISTEN?!?My tip: I've tried several or MANY…

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • High price

Love this set

I bought this pattern set because I wanted to try a few different types of knitting needles before buying the whole set. TL; DR I'm glad I tested these needles because I actually make both pairs of needles. In the end I opted for nickel plated. So here is my review of this set. I used to have an acrylic replacement kit from Knitter's Pride, which was good enough, but the plastic was too grippy and my stitches didn't slide. Spring. I then tried the more expensive Knitter's Pride interchangeable…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
