[Knitting] Addi Easy Knits 10" circulars?

[Copy link]
Post time 2018-1-3 08:20 | Show all posts |Read mode
Hello!

Has anyone used the the Addi Easy Knit 10" circulars?  There are not a lot of sizes but they look interesting.  Id never heard of these or seen them until recently.  One needle tip is really short, while the other is longer.  Have a look:

I use the chaiogoo interchangeable needles.  I purchased the tips I use the most, then ordered different cable lengths for different projects.  I knowe several people who have used the addi needles, and their quality is good.  You might want to consider purchasing from hansom fibers in Oregon. They have wonderful service and stand behind their products.  They carry a large selection of name brand needles.

Thank you!  I have the addi interchangeable set and the pink denise interchangeable set.  I love them!  Sometimes, my needle tips are too long for sleeves and other small circles, thats when I use my 16" needles.  I dont have a full set of those yet, but Ill probably get there eventually.  The needle tips are a lot shorter on the 16" ones than in my sets.  Do the chiaogoo needle tips come in different lengths?
I think Im going to give the addi easy knit needles a try in the next size I need.  If I dont like them, I would have tried something new this year...:)

The chiaogoo needle tips come in 4" and 5" lengths. I prefer the 5" because they are easier to hold onto, but with that saying, I use the magic loop, so my cables are 36" to 60" long. I absolutely lov  Details Reply Post time 2018-1-4 06:23

Yeah, every time I switch to the 16" needles I have to get used to the shorter length all over again. When I go back to my regulars, the longer tips feel awkward until I get used to THEM. Im going  Details Reply Post time 2018-1-4 06:30

The Denise set was my first set of circulars when I first started knitting again as an adult. Ive had them for 10 years. I never had any problems with them coming apart, although one of the joins b  Details Reply Post time 2018-1-6 07:33

I have the addi click interchangeable needles.  I needed shorter needles though so bought a set of Clover interchangeable needles.  The Clover arent as good as the addi but they came in bamboo.  You cant get the shorter tip addis in wood so the Clover was a nice option.

My addi click set is metal; I tend to like my needles slick.  Do you know if the different types of tips are interchangeable with different sets?  I was watching a craftsy class by Eunny Jang, the sweater adventure one, and she said bamboo is really good for colorwork because it grips the yarn better (she explained).  Id like to try the addi bamboo, but not enough to commit to a whole set.  I probably wont buy any more interchangeable sets.... unless something AMAZING comes along and I cant resist.

You could just buy one pair of Clover bamboo needles. They run about $10 at JoAnns and you can always get 50% off coupons. Thats what I did. I then decided I liked them enough to invest in the co  Details Reply Post time 2018-1-4 22:08
