🧶 Lacis AW05 Knitting Pins - Silver, 1.5" x 1" x 1/8 Review

Love learning how to use these needles. Portuguese knitting is new to me and it helps me a lot. I attached the needle to a piece of cloth (such as a work badge holder) because I didn't want to pierce the shirts.

I've recently discovered that I can purl much quicker with the Portuguese style than with regular purl so I bought these to use with regular and purl Portuguese. Much better left tension and lighter on the arms. I used to hate the wrong side, but not anymore!

These pins are great for Portuguese knitting, with one caveat. The tips of the needles are not sharp enough so that they cannot easily slip through the fabric. I would give them five stars if I didn't have to punch a hole in my shirt to put them on. After I washed the shirt, the "hole" turned out to be just a tangle of threads, as I couldn't find the spot where I had the pin, but I could have used a sharp pin, like a safety pin, preferred.

I Love Using These Easy Portuguese Knitting Needles. It makes my hands happy and with enough practice it gets even faster. The only feature of the needles is the part designed to pierce the clothing. It could have been more angular so that it hardly pushes through. Another problem is with me. I want to buy dozens of these! They stay on the clothes. Which tip? Where is it? They don't have built-in GPS. However, it is much better than fancy pens with all sorts of crystals. Got it!
