I want to hear your comment on them comparing to others. <br /><br />I have the whole set of Signature but so sick of having to buy so many cables because they are not true “interchangeable”. (I have 32” for all 8 pairs but then I need 24 a few times for circular cowls, then a few 40” for three sweater projects on different sizes, then 47” for one of coat, 20” for the hats for two needles. 🙄 $20 for each cables 😤) Then I found Zing (I am in Europe. They use the name KnitPro). I like it a lot even though their tips are not as sharp as the Signature but they give smoother flow from tips to body, no hesitation at all. And the cords are truly interchangeable. On top of that, I can connect and disconnect as I knit the whole cardigan on 3 connected cords. I can disconnect soon as I start reducing for the arm hole, put the caps on the pieces I left then connect the needles back when I’m done with the other piece.<br /><br />The annoying thing about Knit Pro or Knitter’s Pride is the customer service. My pair of 5mm came with uneven sharpness, one is blunt another is sharper. I told the customer service and ask for a replacement for just one so they match.

I absolutely love these tips and the needles but I have to say I find the Addi-click cables significantly more flexible than the Karbonz cables. Maybe they've changed?

Yes, the cable is flexible, but it bends sharply at the join and therefore breaks much more quickly than it does on my Addis, knitpicks, and ChiaGoos. The return period is WAY short, so this kind of wear breakage doesn't always pop up in the time frame. If you knit heavy projects like sweaters and afghans, this isn't a great option at all.Cerinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04092757157014722857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555143565211060055.post-10259981225035253042013-03-04T03:48:59.807-08:002013-03-04T03:48:59.807-08:00And because I must enable your addiction (mine too...And because I must enable your addiction (mine too), have you tried the Addi Sock Rocket needles? They are new. http://yarntreestudio.com/needles-notions/addisockrockets/ I have lost many a set of wooden needles to the dogs. They seem to feel they are chew toys.

The Dreamz are available interchangeable I think. But I prefer the metal, too, I think. I'll have to buy some of the Karbonz and try them! The Signatures are out of my range--I don't knit nearly enough to justify the cost. Thanks again...VERY useful info! Hugs, SarahSarah Ann Smithhttp://www.sarahannsmith.comnoreply@blogger.com
