I have the next thing about these needles:
I had brought them with me to a birthday party today as I wanted some eyes
to look at them and see if there was any directions, pictures on the
package.
There are 3 needles. Each one has 2 needles a little bit less then 6 inches
long[each needle] and then it is bendt in half with maybe around 1 1/2" gap
between the bendt needles. The needle is stiff plastic that is not flexible
at all. My Mom said it had a picture with half the sock on one of the
needles and the other half on another one of the needles.
I tried casting on 32 stitches of a thick yarn[mittens] but I did barely 32
stitches on one needle and had to stop before going on.
So stitches did slip off and I will do it again as I did not have a chance
of dividing stitches in half and putting it on the 2nd needle. I will say
it wasn't the easiest handling them as you had to use 2 of them to cast on
the stitches. You did not have the flexibility as with circular needles.
These needles are permanently bendt.
I will finish the test tomorrow and let you know.

Interesting. Maybe the curve helps prevent the stitches from falling off
when you are not using a needle? When you work with these needles are your
stitches on 2 needles, and you use the third to work the stitches on to?

I just received these knitting needles. They are a bit weird as there are 3
of them shaped like a bendt boomerang.
I won't be using them immediately. I am knitting a hat and when I finish
that I will give them a try making mittens.
Stay tune for an update.

I'm with you and cannot figure out what they look like. If I find someone
to describe them to me, I will report back.

and if so, would you please explain.
Thanks,
