[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Addi-Click needles

Sun Sep 9 16:43:48 UTC 2018

For those who own the AddiClicks, and want to use Life Lines when knitting,
the AddiClicks have a special cable that you can purchase just for inserting
a Life Line.  There are slits in the cable near each ends.  You open the
slit and insert your yarn or whatever you are using for a Life Line.  As you
knit, your stitches slide on to both the cable and the Life Line.  Be aware,
that if you are using stitch markers, you will need to use locking or split
stitch markers.  When working the row after inserting the Life Line, you
will need to remove your stitch marker from the Life Line, and place it on
your right needle.  I do not have a set of AddiClicks, but someday I want to
own their wood set.  I forget if it is wood or bamboo.  

I do have the KnitPick interchangeable set.  You can use the hole for the
key to hold a Life Line.  Because I tend to use a cotton yarn for my Life
Line, it does not fit through the keyhole.  I slipped a piece of thread
through the keyhole and knotted it together to form a loop.  I thread my
Life Line through the thread loop and as I work, my stitches slide on to
both the cable and Life Line.

HTH,
Annette

The AddiClick needles do not need a key.  You stick the needle onto the end
of the cable and twist until it clicks.
Sometimes, if I'm wiggling the yarn a lot around the join, like if I've
knitted too tight, the needle will come disconnected.  But now I know that
might happen, and I'm more careful.

For knitting I love the bamboo needles but only have a few sets of straight
ones as I found I could not afford them. I have recently been introduced to
the Denise Knitting Needles which I have come to love. I wish they came in
sizes from 0 to 4, but truth be told most knitting I will do will fall
between size 5 and 15. I have one original set, and have purchased some
extra cords and ends of needles. I also have a set that is just sizes five
through nine. 

Tracy, do the ones you love, the Addiclick require a key, and if so, where
do you stick the key into?

I have been told that Denise makes a plastic set of crochet hooks which I
will try. I love the plastic because I have a cyst in my hand which hurts if
the needles are too heavy, thus I try to stay away from most metal.

I am not very brand specific when it comes to, well pretty much anything. I
do have a set of crochet hooks that are ergonomic and they came in a case so
I can keep them all in order by size. I love the set was not too expensive
and bought at Walmart a few years ago by my husband for me for Christmas. So
I would say those are my favorite crafting thing I have.

Thank you,
