Haha I just bought mine I started knitting a sock then as a habit pulled the needle out thinking I had my magic loop and realized I didn't and it was the flex needles., 😁

Do you think you may do a Addi Sock knit along in the future? If so, I would participate as I am a beginner/intermed knitter...still learning. Thanks so much.

Seems like it is way too long for many amigurumi's i.e. toad and frog....I'm using DPNS but by the time I get to the frogs legs the DPNS are fighting for space.

Hola. Te escribo desde España, me encanta esta manera de tejer en circular, lo explicas muy bien.
Me gustaría saber donde compras ese tubo para guardar las agujas. Yo aquí no lo encuentro. Te estaría muy agradecida.😊😊

Rachael, for fingering and dk yarn what sizes would you recommend? Do you have a sock formula for beginner sock knitters ? Thank you

Did you find these better for not laddering between the needles. I find DPNs that I get a lot of ladders no matter how much I tug and try not to. Magic loop too but I couldn't really get the hang of magic loop for ribbing.

I just want to make hats. If I have the addi rocket squared shorts do I still need dpns or can I just use my needles and a 16inch cord? I’m totally new so. I’m trying to figure out what all to buy

Hi! I like your needle case. Can I buy them somewhere?

The one disadvantage which people who have sensitivity to nickel is that these needles could cause a rash, of course the bamboo would not do that. ChiaGoo has stainless steel and you can order a la carte, 2" cables and then some extra tips a la carte, and then you can make your own. I do think that Hiya Hiya also has stainless steel flip needles but they are even sharper than ChiaoGoo and if you don't know how to avoid those biting tips, your finger tips will bleed.

It would be wonderful if Addi could accommodate their genius design wth stainless steel. I used to knit with aluminum Boye needles but have since gotten all aluminum out of my needle stash for either wood, bamboo or stainless steel. My father died of Alzheimer's disease so the surgical stainless steel is safe inside the human body and does not trigger dementia, but aluminum can be absorbed by constant contact or via cooking or soda or beer cans. If nickel is a problem, I am not willing to find out. Have enough that my mother and sister died of breast cancer.

If safer materials are available and you are able to find another vendor who sells that product, even if it costs more, it is better not to risk your health. Many doctors have not seen nickel allergy and may refer you to a psychiatrist. Get a new doctor but better, don't buy them if you have many allergies like me already, I must be careful. Actually erring on the side of safety is always the best decision.
