Will not buy again
I really enjoyed these needles until they snapped at the base after 2 months of light use. I had to frog the piece I was working on as a result of the stitches lost from the needles breaking. I will likely be switching to a different brand as this is the 3rd time I have had an issue with Knitter's Pride needles.

Had problems with the needles
I loved these needles but unfortunately I ran into a problem with them. I ordered them in two different sizes and was very pleased with them at first. I knit a handful of lace washcloths with each pair but then I ran into a problem. The two needles rubbing together during my knitting has created a groove on each needle just behind the silver tip. The groove has gotten deep enough that my yarn catches on it each time I knit a stitch. I had to switch to a different set of needles as these were getting too frustrating to work with because of my yarn getting caught all the time. Maybe my style of knitting causes the needles to grind down and other knitters won't have this problem. It is a shame because I really enjoyed working with these needles but I would not buy them again because of this problem.
