Great for beginning but not experienced knitters

Bought this set when I was starting out. The set was less than $40 at the time I bought it and at that price it's worth it for those who are unsure if this is a hobby they will pursue. I've always had trouble with hobbies, so I didn't want to invest too much money only to stop using it after a month. I've had no trouble knitting shawls out of this, but if you're using it for a magic bow or anything else that requires cord flexibility, this set isn't for you. The tips of the needles are good and

A knitting and crocheting dream come true

After waiting for this kit for so many years (and thinking it was too expensive) I can't believe I finally got it. The Revain prize was incredible. In stores, buying always seemed too expensive or a luxury. Now I have ALL sizes and unlimited circle size combinations. No more buying individual lengths and sizes and still failing trying to cut a pattern. Good luck finding neckline size circular needles for patterns knit in the round with bulky yarn - these were NOT commercially available…

Warning: These are different from older Boye Needlemaster sets

The Boye Needlemaster set appears to have been manufactured by Wm Wright Co. about ten years ago. in the USA. It also appears that Simplicity bought the rights and outsourced them to China. You can see the difference between the kits: Simplicity labels the sleeve of their kit with the Boye name; vintage US Boye sets come in a plain brown case; Both sets look the same except for color differences. Those Chinese made needle tips, the part people loved, are a lot less smooth now than the old ones.

  • Done

Looks good but doesn't work

I bought an old "vintage" Needlemaster a few years ago and I love it. I was so excited to get a shiny new one! However, the new ones are not made in the same way. The cables are total crap. The metal part (i.e. inside the clear plastic) was sticking out on both of my cords. But I figured I could live with that since I don't use that length very often and $35 is insanely cheap for it. similar). But that's not really a problem - just use teflon tape ($1 for example can go in almost every…

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Good needles but cable length not as advertised.

The description of this item states that this is a kit that contains 8 sets of needles with 20", 24", 29" and 36" cables but the kit I received , is completely different. I received a case with 13 sets of needles and the cables that came with it were 12", 14", 16" and 21". The kit itself is good quality, but I ordered the kit to get longer cables. There are connectors if you want to connect more than one cable together but the yarn gets caught on the connectors and if the connector breaks…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some trouble

A great all in one circular kit for the beginner.

I received this set as a gift for myself when I vowed to learn to knit. I tend to go nuts when I find a tricky new hobby to delve into, so I bought this all in one set of circular knitting needles at the urging of my more advanced knitting friends who suggested that 1) I need definitely circular needles, knitting needles and 2) I would save money by not buying tons of individual circular needles. Pros: These pins are so pretty! They make you want to knit. :) In fact, there are many sizes, so…

Pros
  • Contains (40) pieces
Cons
  • High Price

Great needles but I found better cords

First of all, I've always liked Boye metal needles. They are so sleek and smooth and the tips are the perfect shape for me, not too sharp but not dull either. However, cables are a different story. They're too stiff, and the transition from the cable to the plug is rough—not rough enough that it catches on the threads, but rough enough that the threads don't slide smoothly over them. Not to mention that the cables sometimes unscrew from the tips of the needles. Other reviewers have found ways…

Pros
  • Create a variety of projects with our handy set of metal needles!
Cons
  • Non-automatic

A year and a half later.

Overview Advantages: 1. Convenient for checking gauges/comparing samples with different needle sizes2. Easy to Use: Metal cable connectors won't snag yarn, rubber grips help hold needles when attaching/detaching cables3. In that case everything is organized and tidyCons1. The spokes are a bit stiff. More detailed review. At the time of purchase, I was just starting to knit and chose this set to avoid getting confused: "What size knitting needle do I need? straight or round? What is a magic…

  • Includes #2-15 needles.
