Not good for tight knitters
I so wanted to love these! I was about to buy the ebony set as soon as they were available, but I’m glad I only wasted my money on these to try. I purchased the US2.5 first. They broke in less than ten minutes use.
Undeterred, I bought two pair in size US 3. They broke in 30 minutes use. The joins aren’t as good as Chiagoo or HiyaHiya, when knitting in the round with two needles, I would find myself struggling. And cursing, and screaming.
I have to admit, I was actually relived when they snapped, because I wouldn’t have to keep trying to like them.
I have a set of the rosewood from Lantern Moon, and had hoped the new steel cords would work with them because the plastic are HORRIBLE. No such luck.
I really wanted to love them. And had the joins been better, I probably still would have ,despite the way the needles kept breaking. There isn’t anything as frustrating as finishing a row and being unable to work the next because I couldn’t slip the row back onto the needles when I turned. I tried using the leftover size 2.5 on the left hand needle since it was in the round, but it didn’t help. Even after the break, I had to screw the needle off, then slip dozens of stitches off the screw.
But they were dreamy to stitch on!!! That the saddest part. Until I reached the end of a row and would battle the joins, they were heavenly. I would absolutely buy them if the cord joins were better.
