I bought these needles about a year ago and I am so glad I did! I really love them. The connector is good, especially when you use the key and the rubber pad to tighten them. I have used 2 cables put together with an extender to do magic loop for smaller knitting in the round and the cables hold up very well to this. I had thought I may use this set for a while and then buy a more expensive set, but I'm honestly thinking of just buying a other set of these (since I consistently have multiple WIPs.) I've had absolutely no complaints. They're smooth and slippery which makes for faster knitting. The weight is good. I enjoy the cables. I would say excellent quality especially for the in price.

These knitting needles are perfect for a beginner knitter. They are sturdy, come with everything you need, are well packaged and portable. The cords are nice and stay put if you use the little tool that comes to tighten them on. The set seems to be quite durable and will last for years to come. I really like the colors that the needles come in. Over all I would say its a great value for the money with everything that comes in this set.

Good beginner set. Some of the needles has coating that came off, others were more durable. Overall a very good beginner set for someone wanting to learn, but doesn't want a hefty price tag. After knitting for about 6 months, I did upgrade to Chiagoo small set, but will be keeping this set in my bag for those times I need the bigger needles.

The needles keep unscrewing from the cord, every time you knit a tow you have to tighten them up it is so annoying. I’ve just started a project and they have come loose twice already, wrecking everything. There’s a better lot out there, this isn’t it.

I just started learning how to knit and wanted to get some circle needles. My first two projects were a scarf, for which I have a pair of straight, long needles, and my other project was a rather large baby blanket, which required circle needles to hold all the stitches properly. I considered just buying a pair from Joann's, but the pair I was going to buy had literally horrendous reviews and was the only one I could buy, plus it was like 1/3rd the price of this, so I figured I would just buy this set as it was more product for my dollar. The metal needles are quite nice - they're lightweight, slightly pointy but not too terrible, although I wouldn't recommend pressing on them a lot because your fingers will inevitably hurt, and it came with many accessories and options which I felt really made it a great deal for the money. They're pretty sturdy in my opinion, although you do have to watch out to make sure that your cord doesn't actually unscrew out of the needle if you're like me and not really watching when you twist the needles while knitting. That being said, while I do like the variety and how easy it is to use them, I will say that they were WAY more slippery than I expected. I guess in hindsight I should have expected them to be somewhat slippery, but for some reason it never really crossed my mind. As a result, I've had a few times where the needle slipped completely out of my hand while I'm mid-way through a row on my blanket, causing all of the rows to drop off the needle. It was easy enough luckily to slip the needle back on, but let me tell you, once you're like 30 rows in on a 108 stitch row and you're a beginner who still doesn't quite understand how to fix stitches if they disappear into the yarn abyss that is your terribly knitted project, then you won't know the sheer, heart stopping panic I felt the first time that happened. And the second. And the third. And the fourth. That being said I got much more used to it, and I figured out how to hold the needles and yarn so that it wouldn't really happen anymore. I did ultimately end up getting bamboo circle needles as well which, quite frankly, I do prefer a little bit more over these metal ones, but I like having the variety of both metal and bamboo at my fingertips. For a starter, the price and the items included in this pack is pretty good in my opinion. I only have these relatively cheap, two sets of needles in metal and bamboo so I can't really compare to how they hold up against you know, actually nice knitting needles, but considering I'm just starting out, they get the job done and that's all that really matters to me.
