Worth every penny...

<P>These needles are fantastic! I had decided to make a full-size afghan from a bulky yarn, knowing that it would be soft and warm, and assuming that it would knit up quickly. Unfortunately, finding circular needles in size 13 wasn't the easiest task. After trying local yarn shops and craft stores and everywhere else I could think to look, I had found 32" long bamboo circulars and 29" long plastic. After casting on my stitches and trying to knit with both sets of needles, I was frustrated. The yarn wasn't sliding, it kept getting caught in the circular cord, and the bamboo needles made it prone to splitting. Also, there were way too many stitches crowded in a tight length. I was desperate for something that would be long enough and smooth enough for this project. Thankfully, I found the Addi circular turbos and ordered them, not caring how much I paid...and I am so happy I did. Now my yarn slides easily, my stitches don't get snagged on the cord or needles, and my time per row has been dramatically reduced! </P>
<P>I could see how these might not be ideal for very thin yarns or intricate stitching patterns, as the yarn does slide very easily, but they have worked perfectly for me on larger yarns. Nex time I need new circular needles, I'm definitely investing in more Addis.</P>
