  1. More expensive isn't necessarily better, even if it's from a well-known brand.

    When I first got into interchangeable knitting needles, all I could afford were the cheap no-name ones.

    More recently, as a need arose for duplicates in some sizes - combination of knitting husband and multiple projects underway at once - I thought I'd try upgrading with two cords and two sets of needles from KnitPro.

    And I want to know: who thought it was a good idea to colour-code the needles AND the cords? I've got a faceful of clashing red and green before I even add the yarn colour/s to the mix.

    I prefer my cheap no-name interchangeables, with their unobtrusive silvery-grey cords that (bonus!) don't unscrew while you're knitting. Next time we need more needles, I reckon a second set is the way to go - and it probably wouldn't even cost more.
