Addi Rocket2 [Squared] Circular Knitting Needles 16 inch - US 0, (2mm)

To make a sockhead slouch hat, I cast on 144 stitches. Wool socks (Malabrigo socks) were made out of 100% superwash wool. Stainless steel cable and needle tips allow the stitches to slide easily along them. There were no problems joining the pieces. It looks unusual in how the laser has been cut out on the tips. There are no sharp points on the tips. The needles of the Chiaogoo are more pointed. As I knit continental, I did not have any problems with splitting, etc. with this needle and yarn combination. These needle tips should be interchangeable so that they can be used with a different needle. I like how comfortable they feel in my hands. It is hard for me to hold things because my hands are small. In 2011, I was diagnosed with severe ulnar nerve compression in my dominant hand. My nerve was rerouted and I underwent an epicondylectomy of the ulna two years ago. With these needles, which are size 1 16", I don't have a problem holding them without cramping my hands. There is no memory from the cable's storage and it is flexible. It's funny to see the disclaimer on the packaging People who are untrained can be injured if they use these!.

A few of the items, such as the old whale bone, the ancient stainless steel cabled circulars, and the briefly available Susan Bates Tipping Points. Originally, a straight needle could have the very tip detachable to make it pointy, medium, or blunt, and every kind of Addi needle, fixed, interchangeable or type could be used. I like these Addi Rocket2 squared needles because the cables are attached neatly so you will not snag your yarn on them while you are knitting. Unlike the cables, the cables are not swivelable however, this is not an issue for me. Because of my love for square needles, I ordered these to see what the ridges look like. Do you still have a hard time understanding why square needles have ridges? Using these with Alchemy Silken Straw, which is a pretty slippery straw. In the early stages, the sweater was knit with Kollage Square interchange needles and then switched to Addi needles when it As of now, I do not see any benefit. The ridges on these needles might help keep slick yarns under control, but I don't notice any difference between them and the rest of my *Having said that, let me leave you with this. The Addi Knitting Needles are the best, most reliable, and dependable Knitting Needles made by a company that has been in existence There is a very comfortable feel to the square needle. When knitting, try not to get tired or uncomfortable, especially if your hands feel tired or uncomfortable. Many people, myself included, believe this to be true Maintaining even stitches is made easier with the aid of a square needle. Upon receiving and reviewing the product, I will add an article to this review I'll figure out the advantage of the ridges when I realize what they mean!.

These are one of my favorite knitting needles. I love how they're light, and thanks to its square shape, my stitches kept their place. often have trouble keeping up with the early rows. It is recommended.

In order to knit a hat, I was looking for a shorter circular needle. My discovery of these square circulars is actually the first time I've come across them! Furthermore, the needles are squared (which is easier to grasp My fingers are less tight than they usually are), but the tips are textured too! There is no sense that needles want to slip out of my hand when using a slippery yarn. As I've come to expect from Addi, the tips are nice and pointy. As well, the cables are extremely pliable There is no stiffness to speak of. You are going to love these needles if you are seeking needles that are a joy to use. If I expand my collection of short circulars, then I will definitely buy them in other sizes.

It's easier on the hands to use square needles, and I get a more even and better stitch definition. It is a nice needle, and the edges of the square shape are not sharply squared, but are slightly rounded around the edges. As a result of the needle's texture, stitches won't slide off of it as easily, making it a perfect beginner needle. In addition, depending on the type of yarn you use, this texture also holds the yarn and keeps the work from slipping off the needles without some major tugging. I have found these needles to be difficult to use on Alpaca/cotton blends, but I would recommend them if you have a very slippery yarn. I couldn't slide my knitting along the needles as I knit because the needles clung to the yarn. The yarn bunched up and my work clung to The needles on this square are also tapered to an extent, but they are not so sharp as those on There are certain types of yarn I prefer to use with a squared Addi Rocket 2. Kollage square needles are my favorite needles of all time (the ones I reach for most of the time).

1. Placed an order for With a decent collection of fixed circulars as well as multiple sets of interchangeable needles, I have the option of making multiple designs. The company makes bamboo) and smooth joins, but I've come to prefer square needles, which it doesn't have so far. Since the square needles are easier to grip, my hands don't get as tired as they do when using round needles. ok, but have low quality control. There were a few with burrs on them and others bent when I tightened them on the cable) and also KnitPicks wooden squares (except they only come in dark colors, so they can be difficult to use with dark yarn). Although I like both of these brands, they only come in larger sizes, so I was eager to try the Addi's In general, it will be hard to tell that the smaller needles are square, but you will notice the ridges that make a positive It's even better to feel the needle ridges as they run across each other in a small vibration. My new favorite sock needles. PROS They have a sharp Addi lace point which is great for socks. CONS They could be better with the sharp Addi lace point. My main complaint is that the rockets are too rounded. I find it harder to pick up stitches for decreases or to "make" stitches with them. In any situation where you are supposed to thread the needle through more than one stitch, like threading a loop through a M1-style stitch Any knit or purl pattern other than a standard one. However, I still liked them so much that I bought a US9 that I'm anxious to try so that I can see if I like the larger sizes as much as the smaller ones.
