My New Knit Picks Harmony Needles Review




Originally uploaded by TheHomeBody

First of all, they are beautiful. I've never had anything but the slightest urge to invest in any sort of interchangeable circular needles in the past. I like to knit with wood or bamboo and all the interchangeables that everyone seemed to love were always made of metal, so I instinctively knew they weren't for me. Then I see these little beauties in an email one morning, click the link, and 10 minutes later I'm buying two sets of tips (4 and 6) and a pair of 24" cables (they come in sets of two). I wait about a week for them to arrive, and I immediately tear into the box, screw the tips onto the cables, tighten them with the little tool that comes with them, cast on and start knitting. They are as lovely to knit with as they are to gaze upon. The wood is smooth and warm and slick but not so slippery that stitches fall off when I'm not looking. (By the way, I'm not a new knitter, just a loose one.) The cables are incredibly flexible and the stitches glide across the cable joins as if they weren't even there. Suddenly, I have a need to replace every circular needle in my collection with these. I've already tried to order more tips in more sizes but they're temporarily out of stock. It just may be my perfect needle and it appears I'm not the only one who feels that way. I'm so excited, I almost forgot to mention - the only negative comment I have aside from the fact that I'll have to wait to get more is that it would be nice to have the sizes stamped somewhere on the needles. I plan on having a lot of these and I can see right now that I'm going to get them mixed up. (Is this a 4 or 5? Where did I put that needle sizing gauge checking thing anyway?)

Thank you for posting your review. I'm not as picky between steel and wood, but like the ability to use both. I have a set of 4s to 8s added to my Options set.

OMG!! Those are some gorgeous needles and next to that orange yarn - that's some major eye candy right there!! I also love wood and bamboo needles. Now I NEED to buy these interchangeables, but I can see what you mean about the sizes on them!! PS: I found your blog on the yahoo groups monthly dishcloth KAL. How funny was that little dress - HUH?!!!
