ChiaoGooTwist Lace Short Combo Pack 5+8cm 2.25mm - 1pc

I am a major sock knitter. This pack has two sizes of cable length and two length sizes of needle tips. I tried a mixture of the short and longer tips with the short and longer cables. I struggled. I ended up using one short tip and one longer tip on the shorter cable. Works beautifully. Knitting was/is a breeze. For those of you, like me, just can't find a proper easy setting, try using one tip length of each on which ever cable that fits your yarn stretch. I am using a fine size 2 yarn. I cannot say anything negative about these needles. It does take thinking about switching around the pieces to make them work for you. The transition of joint attachment is terrifically smooth with no yarn snagging. I have not experienced loosening of the tip(s) as I work around 64 stitches of my sock pattern. You simply will have a learning curve with finding the tip and cable length that works for you. I love the fixability of the cables. I have a pair of the fixed circular needles (same company) and both compare equally to each other. At age 71, willing to work with a learning curve, you should find this needle set enjoyable.

Chiaogoo Twist Shorties interchangeable needles and cables are truly awsome. They don't kink and provide a smooth knitting surface. The join between the needle and cable transitions flawlessly and never snags the yarn. For baby hats, socks, wrist warmers, mittens and all small projects, these Chiaogoo cables and shorty twists are the go-to item. Needles are 2" and 3" and can be used in a combination of the sizes. Ideal for working on tiny projects in the round. Once you try them you won't use anything else. Cables available from 2" to 60". Perfect!!!

I stumbled onto Chiaogoo about 4 years ago. I absolutely love everything about them. I was overjoyed when they came out with the Shorties. Trying to find 9” fixed circulars was nearly impossible in the sizes I wanted and needed. The shorties are awesome. I have the sizes I want. The tips are nice and pointed. The joins for cables and adapters are smooth. They are a little costly , but well worth the investment to me. In the long run I do not have multiple circular sets in different lengths everywhere.I saw review by one person telling how she likes to use a 2” needle on one end a 3” needle on the opposite end of the cable. I find myself doing the same.Chiaogoo does not currently sell the 2” needle separately, but they do sell the 3”. Right now I can only buy extra sets of needles (to make flexible double points) which leaves me with a lot of 5 and 6 inch cables. Now that they have come out with cables that swivel, I wish they could be included in the sets.

I just got these a couple days ago and used one to do a rounded toe with the 2 circular method, the other needle was my fixed 9” chiaogoo. I just cast on the 2nd sock on the 5” cable and 2” tips this morning, I love my chiaogoo needles but think I like the fixed 9” better. The cables on this set are very thin compared to the fixed one, the connection is smooth, can tighten both cables and needle tips with the tightening pins. All in all I’ll keep them but if the cables on a larger set of minis are the same as these I would not buy them. Will stick to the fixed for sock needles if I need different sizes again. I have other interchangeable needles and cables from chiaogoo, size 6 through 9 and their corresponding cables too.

I love that I could buy the size I needed for socks, without having to buy other needles that I would rarely use. I do have trouble tightening these enough to stay and I have to check them every so often since the circumference of the sock means I’m loosening them often.

I have been struggling with double pointed needles when I make socks for years then I ran into a pattern that called for a short circular needle. I had never seen one so I checked on Amazon, found these and thought I would give them a try. They are a little different to get used to, but once your hands adapt to them they are amazing. I got the US size 1 tips, but I am going to get tips in more sizes as soon as I can. Socks work up much more quickly than on double points and you don't drop stitches. These little needles are worth a lot more than what they charge for them.

I was so excited to find short interchangeable knitting needles. I’ve purchased two sets already and the individual ones to complete my sets

There are plenty of reviews saying how great these are and I agree with them for the most part. What I like most about the Chiaogoo Shorties is that by buying two packs, I get four flexible double point needles.As I knit close to the tips, the length of the needles is not a problem for me, in fact I prefer the 2" ends. Unfortunately, there is another reason why I prefer the 2" to the 3" and that has to do with a design flaw, which I consider a big minus. I have several sets of Shorties in different sizes and they all have this problem.The 2" needles, which are described as being solid, have a hole the same size as that of the cable. You put the "keys" (okay, they are T-pins) in each hole to give you leverage to tighten the connection. When you do this, it holds really well. If you do not, the needle will start to unscrew from the cable.That is the problem with the 3", which are hollow; there is no hole on the needle, just a little indent that does no good. Chiaogoo sells a rubber grip (not included, only the T-pins), but I have tried using another rubber grip and it doesn't work. I just have to knit along until I start to feel the yarn catch as it goes over the join, push my work onto the cable, tighten the needle, go back to knitting until it happens again.Using the 2" as the working needle and knitting off the 3" needle helps, but this shouldn't be a "make do" situation.As mush as I like Chiaogoo, I am seriously considering another company's set of fixed flexible double points, just so I won't have this problem.

Achat récent. Tout est OK pour le moment. J'ai confiance.

The Chiaogoo knitting needles are the best!

Ich liebe selbstgestrickte Socken und lieber es zu stricken. Socken stricken hat mir allerdings nie Spaß gemacht, da ich Nadelspiele nervig finde und vor allem diese Brücken an den Nadelübergängen hasse. Mit dieser Stricknadel gehören alle Contra Argumente der Vergangenheit an und ich habe im Nu ein weiteres Paar Socken gestrickt welches so perfekt geworden ist wie keines zuvor.Ich bin so begeistert von den Nadeln, dass ich mit gleich das Set der Shorties zum Ärmel Stricken gekauft habe, sodass ich künftig auch hieran mehr Spaß haben werde.Teuer aber für einen Vielstricker wie mich jeden Cent wert.

Aussitôt reçu.... Aussitôt utilisées!😁(manche de gilet pour enfant sur la photo)Quand on est une grande adepte des aiguilles circulaires interchangeables, ce n'est pas toujours facile d'avoir certaines tailles surtout du 2,5mm.Je ne connaissais pas cette marque et très franchement j'en suis ravie !Le plus c'est le câble qui n'est pas simplement en plastique mais une corde à piano gainée de nylon (pas de prise de forme et une très grande robustesse)Je recommande grandement ces aiguilles.

Es gibt einige besonders gute Stricknadeln - aber Chiaogoo ist laut meiner dauerstrickenden Lebensgefährtin nicht der Mercedes sonder eindeutig der Rolls Royce unter den Strickwerkzeugen. Sogar ich, der ich mit Not eine Mütze zustande bekomme, sehe wie leicht die Wolle läuft und wie angenehm das sich nicht verdrehende Verbindungskabel ist. Teuer, aber lohnt sich.
