    Customer Reviews

    They work but heed reviews I was worried with reviews and knowing I tend to knit tight and am rough on needles. They do tend to unscrew a bit, so every couple rows I check and tighten them back down. But talk about convenient. I carry the case in my bag and am able to switch tips quickly as needed and play around with gauge and circular length. Definitely recommend for those that begin knitting yet have patience to deal with the unscrewing problem.If just starting out, buy the size you need elsewhere and get used to circulars before taking this leap. I survived years on cheap circular needles in popular sizes (8-10.5) and am just now venturing into smaller/larger and changing size in one piece. Would be an amazing kit with the addition of yarn needles and a sizer/gauge measuring tool. Throw in some stitch markers and cable needles and you're all set for most any project. 4Nice set This is a great set! I made a blanket with them and never had a problem with the it coming apart. As long as you use the tools included to get a tight fit, nothing is going anywhere. There are a couple needles that have a little ridge where they connect to the metal of the plastic piece, but not too hard to work around. I found that I cannot make a child hat in the round, because the needle and coupler piece are too long to make a small enough circle, but I can make an adult hat so I'm happy. Overall, really like this product and would recommend. 4Great needles, but I found better cables First, I have always really liked Boye metal knitting needles. They are so smooth and slick, and the tips are the perfect shape for me, not too sharp, but not blunt, either. The cables, however, are a different story. They are way too stiff and the transition from the cable to the connector is rough -- not so rough that it snags the yarn, but rough enough that the yarn doesn't slide smoothly over it. Not to mention that the cables occasionally come unscrewed from the needle tips. Other reviewers have found ways around the stiffness of the cables -- one took her needle tips to a gunsmith to have them re-tapped to work with Knitpicks cables, another made her own cables out of weed whacker line. I tried making the weed whacker cables with limited success. I had trouble getting the joins sanded smooth enough, so they weren't any smoother than the rough Boye cables. The weed whacker cables also lack the slot for the tightening tool, so they come unscrewed fairly easily.Then I found Chiaogoo cables (http://www.amazon.com/ChiaoGoo-Interchangeable-Knitting-Needle-7514-S/dp/B00C1QO3AE?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00)and connectors (http://www.amazon.com/ChiaoGoo-Cable-Connectors-Small-2-Pkg/dp/B00RGFX7ZM?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00).The ones that are sized for "small needles" fit the Boye needle tips perfectly. However, the screws on the Boyes are English (I think they're 2/56) and the screws on the Chiaogoo are metric, meaning they screw in nicely up to a point, and then get harder as the threads deform slightly. This acts kind of like a lock washer, making it very difficult to come unscrewed by itself, but it also means you don't want to take it apart and put it back together repeatedly. My solution was to get a set of connectors for each pair of needle tips and leave them permanently attached -- you can even add a drop of super glue if you want to be sure that it's permanent. This has the added benefit that I now have slots for the tightening tools on both sides, the needle side and the cable side. I have now done several projects and have not had any connections come undone on me, plus everything about these cables is incredibly smooth, and the cables come in many different lengths. In the attached picture you can see my needles, with the permanently attached connectors, next to the Chiaogoo cables.I am now really happy with my needles -- too bad I had to go through this much to get a set that finally works so well! 4Great knitting kit at a reasonable price! I read many, many reviews before purchasing a knitting kit. I had a partial kit by Denise (Blue Denise Interchangeable Knitting Needles Set) that I had found at a Thrift store. I was not thrilled with the Denise set-sometimes the tips would come loose (they connect by turning 90 degrees to a "locked" position) and my stitches were always getting caught in the gap where the rubber cable would slip back from its plastic connector. No amount of jamming and twisting would keep that gap closed (to be fair, maybe there was a reason it was at the thrift). I have now had the Needlemaster set for several months and am very happy with it.I would like to comment on several points I read about in other reviews:1. Some people complained that the cables are too stiff; that using the Magic Loop technique is impossible. I did not have any issues with the stiffness. (I did soak the cables in near boiling water before using them.) I have used the Magic Loop technique successfully down to the size of a newborn sweater cuff (about a 50-cent piece size opening).2. A lot of people do not like the bent connectors at the end of the cables. The set I purchased from Amazon did not have bent connectors. I think the new style has straight connectors (even though the pictures usually show them as bent).3. There is a common complaint that the tips come unscrewed and many stitches are lost. Through several projects I have had one tip come loose. (I always tighten the tips with the pin and grip pad as per the instructions and usually I can't loosen them by hand even if I wanted to.) However, I noticed stitches getting caught in the gap long before the tip came completely off and simply retightened it; not a single stitch was lost. (If I remember correctly, I was knitting VERY tight in that case and when I was trying to move the stitches from the cable back onto the tip I used a twisting motion which contributed to the loosening of the tip. Now I make sure and only push the stitches straight on with no twisting motion.)4. I read that the metal of the tips is too soft and mushrooms out when the cable is screwed in. I did have this problem with one tip when I over tightened the cable. I was able to bend the edges back by rolling it on a harder piece of metal, but it tends to mushroom back out if I'm not careful when I torque down the connection.5. The smallest tip (size 2) is very slightly smaller than the connector on the cable. If you tend to knit very tight (like I do) it is rather difficult to get the stitches over the connector and back onto the tips. This has been the biggest issue I have had with this set.I love this set. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. I love having everything I need in one place (I even added scissors, stitch holders, tapestry needle, etc. inside the pouch to make it completely perfect!) and that I will never have to go back to the store to buy the next size needle because my gauge is off (which I always found out at 10pm when all store are closed thereby delaying my project by another day). 5Good needles but the cable lengths included are not the ones advertised. This item description says it is a kit that includes 8 sets of needles with 20", 24", 29", & 36" cables, but the kit I received is completely different. I received a case with 13 sets of needles and my included cables were 12",14",16" & 21". The kit itself is good quality, but my reason for ordering the kit was to get the longer cables. There are connectors if you want to attach more than one cable together, but yarn catches on the connectors and if a connector came apart while knitting, it could be a major pain, so connecting two cables together is not a good substitute for a single cable. I've let Amazon know and asked them to update the item description. I don't feel it was a mistake since other reviews have commented on the same thing.ETA: Amazon responded in a favorable manner, as they always do so hopefully the listing will get updated soon. I do want to add that I attempted to knit with the 12" cable and the threads on one end were not even, so none of the needles will screw flushly onto the needle, so it can't be used because the yarn catches where the gap is (I've attached a pic). I've sent an email to Simplicity and hopefully they can quickly send a replacement cable. Will update when/if I hear back.ETA: Simplicity/Wilton has sent a replacement cable for the 12" defective one. I will try it out on my next small knitting project. I updated the star rating. 3Great for a beginner, not so much for a seasoned knitter I picked this set up when I was just starting out. The set was under $40 at the time I purchased it, and at that price it's worth it to someone who isn't sure if this is a hobby they will stick with. I've always had trouble sticking with hobbies, so I didn't want to invest too much money in this just to stop using it in a month. I had no problem knitting a shawl with it, but if you are using it for magic loop or anything that requires cable flexibility, this is not the set for you. The needle tips are nice and sharp enough to get into tight stitches. I upgraded to the Chiaogoo set which I will link at the end, and it's definitely worth spending the extra money if you can. ChiaoGoo 7500-C Twist Red Lace Interchangeable Set, 2.75-10.0mm 4Looks great, but lacks in function I got an old "vintage" Needlemaster a few years ago and absolutely love it. I was so excited to get a new shiny one!However, the new ones aren't made the same.The cords are total crap. The metal part (that is inside the clear plastic) was sticking out on two of my cords. But I figured I could live with that since I don't use those lengths very much, and $35 is crazy cheap for this.Like everyone says, the fit isn't super tight, so the needles do unscrew while knitting (the old ones are the same). But that's really not a problem-- just use some Teflon tape (like $1, can get in pretty much any took section). You can make the fit as tight as you want, and won't damage the threads at all (and it's removable).Anyway, I set up my #5 needles with the 12in cord and started on my hat. However, a few rows in, it completely snapped. So the needle had a screw stuck in it, and the cord has no screw.Honestly, I could live with most of the stuff wrong. But when it snapped, that's completely unacceptable. Connecting needles to cords is pretty much the main function of interchangeable knitting needles.My advice: get the $37 one instead (looks mostly the same, but the case is pink). Those cords are just like the old Needlemaster (which are good quality and I've never had a problem with). 1After a year and a half... Quick ReviewPros:1. Convenient for checking gauge/comparing swatches with different needle sizes2. Easy to use: the cables' metal connectors don't snag on yarn, the rubber grippers help hold onto the needles when securing onto/disconnecting from cables3. The case keeps everything organized and tidyCons1. Cables are a bit stiffLonger ReviewAt the time of my purchase, I was just starting to knit and decided to get this set to save myself the confusion of, What size needles do I need? Straight or circular? What s magic loop??? I ve been using these needles nonstop since I bought them more than a year and a half ago, but along the way, I ve also bought other brands needles to which I can compare this Boye set.Because this set has many sizes, I ve been saved the trouble of having to buy so many individual needles to check/get gauge. I haven t had any problems of the needles coming loose from the cables mid-project; use the key through the cable for leverage and the gripper around the needle to tighten and secure the join. The needles themselves are easy to use: they are comfortable to hold, yarn moves along the needles easily, and the needle points are neither blunt nor super sharp. They are sharp enough to knit lace but blunt enough that it doesn t hurt if I need to push the needle tip when slipping off a stitch.The biggest drawback to this set is the cable stiffness. Compared to other brands circular needles I ve used, Boye needle cables are the stiffest. That said, I ve had no trouble working in the round. I ve even used the longest cable to knit magic loop socks (but I have since experienced that it is much easier to knit magic loop with the flexible cables of ChiaoGoo needles). Over time, I've found that the cables' stiffness has lessened a tad (especially the long cable which I beat into submission with magic loop). The two shorter cables can be a bit too short to comfortably knit in the round, but they re nice to use together as a pair of straight needles (just screw the plastic stitch holders onto the non-needle side of the cables).All the pieces are still in great condition, and, by the way, I haven t lost anything because the case keeps everything neatly organized. The case isn t anything spectacular, but I really appreciate that each needle size is labeled. The only bit of wear and tear is on the most frequently used needles; the color coating is somewhat scratching off. However, this issue is minor and doesn t affect the needle quality at all. As for buying replacement cables, I once ordered a different sized cable but it came defective and did not connect properly to the needles. Since then, if I ve needed to supplement my needle collection, I ve dabbled into other brands. Overall, I m very happy with my purchase and am currently teaching my sister how to knit using this Boye set! 5Broken, ruined, in first skein. This is an attractive set, the needles are a nice texture, I thought I liked it very much. But I am 1 skein into the first sweater I am knitting with it, and the needle just separated from the cable. I thought it had come unscrewed. No. It broke, with the screw in the needle. The needle is ruined, the cable is ruined. Un-useable. Incredibly cheap. I want a replacement, but they say it's already past the point when I can return it.I don't recommend this! 2Good Value for your money I confess I am a "collector" with a unaccountable amount of curioisty and that is what caused me to buy this set of needles, since I already own 6 or more other brand sets, I doubted they would measure up, but they did----with flying colors. I think they are good value for the money. I have 3 sets of the overrated ADDI'S and think Boye are much better (interchangeable needles) for the money. (Guess what, the ADDI'S will disconnect if much pressure is used to scoot these stitches from one end of knitting to opposite end. 5
