super disappointed
I bought the 10 3mm fixed circulars for flat squares of lace knit in the round. The good news is that the metal on the needles feels lovely and smooth, and the tips have a long point for fine work. The bad news is everything else. My chief complaint is the connection between the cable and the needle. The snagging was so frustrating and I was practically slipping each stich over it one by one. The other problem is the length of the needle proportionate to the cable. The cable is so short that I can't get the needles parallel to each other. I realize 10 is quite small, and I expected it to be fiddly work, but I have a strong sense that these needles were not tested by actual knitters. If the needles were even .5 inches shorter allowing the cable to be an inch longer while keeping the whole thing 10 they would be significantly more functional. This problem puts significant strain on the cable and connections and I'm concerned with how well they will hold up. Knitter's Pride really missed the mark on this one.
