Addi Click System Interchangeable Needles - Review #1

In this video I talk about the Addi Click System Interchangeable knitting needle kits. The one I'm showing in this video is the lace short tip set. This video was not sponsored but I'm happy to back the product as I've been using it for several years and it's my go to kit.

**********

Videos on this channel are filmed using a Canon EOS 550D (AKA Canon Rebel T2i) with a VidPro X-ML Condenser Lavalier Microphone running through a Zoom H1 Hand-held Microphone.

Aside from ambient lighting, a 3425 watt 3-point Cowboy Studio soft box continuous lighting kit is used.

[michellemoshey]

What is the pros and cons of the long lace vs the short lace other than the legnth and additional cords

[TheWeightgo]

Just added you as a friend on Ravelry. You have the same birthday as my daughter! so happy belated birthday! :-D

[yliberal]

You should have done a demo!? They have thicker and larger cords to use with larger hooks/needles!

You said you'd be doing magic loop (ML) later- what I'd like to know now is do you think this short set with cord extension can hook two cords that come in set to make one long enough for ML. I think I've heard 40" or longer is better for ML even if just knitting a hat. I wonder if yarn would catch at all those connections- as you said you've had yarn catch on these- this is what I'm worried about – I now have the screw on type needles and my wrists are getting tired of all that turning and looking for the locking p.m. – but I don't want Yarn dragging and getting stuck at cord-needle connections. I also like finer tips but I lean toward wood, as these metal ones just seems so slippery.Too bad they don't make sharp pointed short wood needle sets 🤣. Anyway please let me know after you try ML with connector & using cords that come on this set.

Why dont these sets have sizes 1, 2 and 3 anymore? Im now confused as to which set to buy. I knit smaller items and just starting to knit socks. Whic set is best for me?
