Review on ChiaoGoo Red Lace Circular 32 inch Stainless Steel US 1.5 Knitting Needle - High-Quality 2.5mm 7032-1.5 by Hannah Curi

Although these needles don't actually break if stored twisted, they do have a memory: they really want to stay straight. The cable bends when you force it, but it always wants to return to a straight position unless you're holding it, which can cause some stitches to stretch if they're on either side of your cable's pivot point. like knitting socks. Just make sure you have a long enough cord so the stitches don't twist too often. Otherwise they are very good needles and I can see that they will last a very long time.
