KnitPicks Options Needles
Okay, the reviews are out, people are using them, I'm trying to decide if I want to shell out $60 for the set since, let's face it, I am probably going to keep buying needles anyway. But in review after review, I keep reading that one of the complaints is that the sizes are not marked on the needles.
Um, I don't know why I am the first person to mention this, but none of the metal circulars are. At least, none of the ones I have, which include Addi Turbos, Boyes, and Susan Bates. I mean, of course I have sat there trying to figure out if I'm holding a US2 or a US3, but this is being mentioned like it is a design flaw rather than something that is unfortunately just common to all metal circular needles. Why, I don't know, but it's not like if I opted to buy a bunch of Addis instead I'd be any less in need of my needle sizing card. Though if anyone has found some magical source of Addi Turbos with sizes on them, please e-mail me straight away so I can buy some.

Hey there, I don't know about the KnitPicks set but I totally LOVE my Denise Interchangeables set. Same principle as the knitpicks set, but not they aren't metal. They are some sort of composite material thats super light weight. They were about 50$ and the sizes are on the needles.
Love them!
Later,
