I got myself a set of Denise Interchangeable Needles. They’re FANTASTIC! I’m so excited to have them, since I had a list of projects that I wanted to get a start on and they all use different sized needles. Look at these beauties:
The size 8s are missing cuz I was knitting with them when I took the picture.
The reasons why I love my Denise:
- It gives me all the needles I need (except for the super small ones)
- They come in a pretty case that keeps them all organized. It helps my obsession in keeping things organized.
- They’re plastic, but very high quality plastic. I do like the Clover bamboo needles, but I also really like the feel of this plastic (it feels very flexible in my hands)
- They’re incredibly light (I heard they’re as light as the Addi turbos) so it keeps my wrists from hurting when I knit real fast.
- They’re circular needles, and I love circular needles.
- I can do Magic Lop knitting with them – no more dpns! (I hate dpns. Wish they were never invented).
I’ve also heard that people have had sets for 30 years and they still use them, so they must last a long time. There’s also a lifetime warranty even if anything ever broke – woohoo!

I’m so jealous! I also prefer the bamboo, but plastic is my number two choice.
But, really, dpns are my absolute fave. Once I got used to them, that is. I like that they look intimidating.

I hope you’re enjoying your Denise’s. I got a pink set in the mail yesterday so I’m super excited to finish all my current projects so I can start knitting with them!
