[Nfb-krafters-korner] knit picks circular needles

[Blindhands at aol.com]

I do not prefer metal needles as I have arthritis in my hands and the metal 
 is cold and hard.  I do like bamboo as it has a drag on the yarn and  
stitches don't slip off like metal needles do.  
 
I have a complete set of Denice interchangeable needles that I adore.   The 
plastic is easy on my arthritis, they are not cold to the touch.  They  do 
not have any keys to tighten the needles on and I have never had any trouble 
 traveling on planes with them.  The best part of the Denise needles are  
they come in all length sizes[cable that loks in place when you turn the 
needle  into the cable].  They come with the original set so you have needles  
ranging from 17 inches long going up to 40 inches and they even have extra 
long  cables that you can purchase separtely that go up to I think 60 inches  
long.  I recently went on their website and they now have even a smaller  
cable available.  Now when you purchase the set, it comes in a padded  zipper  
case and the needle tips snap in place according to size.  You  can not put 
them in the wrong size as they will not fit.  You get cables a  set ranging 
to make needles 17 inches going up like 20, 24, 32 etc.  Please  look on 
their website for this information as I am guessing.
 
They are guanteed

It was the interchangeable circular needles  that felt different in
length. It's odd to feel those stitches hanging  loosely off the end of the
needle and on the thin cable. I used a thinner  yarn and 20 stitches per row
so there were stitches hanging below the shaft  of the needle. I hope they
keep their shape hanging loose like  that.
And yes, using the key really locks those tips on. I  must have knit
for 2 hours last night and there was no hint those tips  would start to
loosen.  
I think I'll play with some  straight needles again tonight and see
the difference in feel once  more.
I'm not sure yet what I like or what I do best  with  - plastic,
bamboo or a rougher wood, or metal.
