I prefer to use ML method so I can knit 2aat or more if i’m So inclined. I woudn’t mind trying them out, but won’t buy any just to try. I stopped using DPN’s years ago, so unless you’re a DPN fan, you may like them. One side of the tip they’re sharp the other isn’t. Gives yo an option..
Im not a fan of dpns. I find myself knittiing really tight because Im afraid of my needles slipping out of my stitches. I prefer 2 circs when I knit small circles.

Normally, I knit socks on 2 circulars, and use DPNs for picking up and knitting the gusset stitches. When theyre gone, Im back to my original 2 circulars. The FlexiFlips make working with the gusset stitches a lot easier. It took me awhile to get used to the really short tips, but theyre a lot more convenient than DPNs. But theyre awfully short to hold 32 - 36 stitches, which is what you have on each side of an adult-sized sock or mitten, so theyre not going to replace my circulars. And I cant imagine having so few stitches in worsted or larger yarn that the larger FlexiFlip sizes would be very helpful - if you make lots and lots of boot socks maybe?

I havent used them, but a lady I know seems to really like them for her socks. Ive only knit socks on 2 circulars. I wonder if the larger sizes have longer needles...
IMHO, no, youd never keep enough stitches for TAAT socks on an 8" needle, and all of the FlexiFlips are the same length - 8". Youd have to get at least 2 sets, I think, which would more or less def

Totally! Well, maybe for sleeves and hats... Actually, Im knitting a sweater and using 16" circulars for the sleeves. I wonder.... Im probably just looking for a reason to get a set of flexiflips. *sigh* Maybe Ill stick with the circ and buy more yarn. ;)

Im intrigued! I havent used them, but Id like to try them.
Me, too! Although, I have to admit I dont use dpns more than I have to. I generally prefer using 2 circulars or short circulars. Id like to try out the FlexiFlips to see if I like them better than regular dpns.
