SmartStix Need Work
I was excited to get these needles since it makes perfect sense for needles to serve as measuring tape. The needles themselves are great to knit with: seamless join, sharp tips, comfortable feel. I bought my size 5 circs specifically for knitting my current sweater project and they have been excellent. Unfortunately, by the time I got to the sleeves of my sweater the 1 markers on the cord had completely disappeared. Whatever type of dye/paint used on the cord did not hold up to a sweater body worth of knitting friction. So if you are looking for needles that feel good, knit great and have 1 markers on the needle tips, this will do. But, if you really wanted to use the cord as a measuring tape I'm afraid these won't work for that purpose.
