[Nfb-krafters-korner] knit picks circular needles

[Deidre Muccio]

Oh, a crafters tackle box? Needles not lures? 
	Question: Do you find some needles are longer than others? Would
that be the bigger in diameter ones? Also does your yarn ever catch on the
part where the cable meets the needle? I haven't noticed that but my
neighbor says it happens to her and she's a pro. Are the Knit Picks that
good that the yarn never catches?

Yes, the key hole is on the metal part at the end of the cable, just before
the threaded part that actually fits inside the needle. It is quite small,
but I find that searching for it with the tip of my fingernail actually
works well.

I own the full set of these needles from Knit Picks, and the set comes with
a little plastic zipper case with slots where each pair of needles can go.
I don't put the key in this pouch, since it would fall out if the pouch go
knocked over, but I do use it to keep my needles and cabels in. For smaller
craft bits, I use a kind of glorified tackle box I found in the craft
section. My vanity wanted a box with pretty colors, which is why I didn't
buy a regular tackle box.

Good luck!
