I like this feature as I don't have to struggle as much to keep the cable neat as I knit. I've also had no issue with the joins or cables breaking at this point. I hope that helps!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16786487693320150241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663988236706619453.post-13751831151190816972014-12-19T10:07:23.765-08:002014-12-19T10:07:23.765-08:00I'm definitely interested in these, but I was ...I'm definitely interested in these, but I was wondering more about what I've heard at other places, which state they swivel at their join?

I've never tried magic loop on interchangeables ...anyone have luck doing this?

My KnitPro Symphonie (European version of multi coloured wooden KnitPicks) needles lose their labelling after a few inches of knitting. My Addi Click needles lost not only their labels but also their coating and I was down to the base metal after a pair of mittens, which explains why people get allergy problems with them. So I'm really hoping that for once I will have a pair of interchangeables which don't lose what's on the surface, keep their labels, keep their coating, don't break (as many of my KnitPro needles have done) and don't catch stitches on the joints; and are sharp like the KnitPro needles are! I gather these have swivel joints once they're screwed in as well, which will make some of the 'interchanging' much easier.Ann B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663988236706619453.post-88370392649797932492012-06-29T17:03:59.509-07:002012-06-29T17:03:59.509-07:00Thanks for the detailed review.

I just looked over at my pack of circular bamboo needles and realized if I buy one more needle - (the set I really wanted and no one had in stock so made due with a smaller one) I will have spent over $80 for half of what is in your pack. I never seem to have the correct length... Now have got something to look forward to.<br /> <br />Sammamish...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
