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.

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.😊😊

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.

Great question! We totally understand how frustrating laddering can be on small projects like this. If you're having trouble with your tension on DPNs, these might not be very different since the laddering happens when you switch between needles. You might try a very short circular needle instead! Rachel recommends taking a look at the ChiaoGoo Shorties.

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 Derick! If you don't want to use DPNs for the top of your hat, you might actually be better off with a longer cord than 16", using the Magic Loop or Traveling Loop technique. This will allow you enough slack in the cord to move the stitches around as you decrease them - that's why so many hat patterns call for DPNs. Let us know if you have more questions!

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

@jimmybeanswool 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Angela! I find that a good starting place is the needle size recommended on the yarn label if you're not quite sure where to begin. If you make a swatch, then you can use your gauge to calculate how many stitches you'll need for different foot sizes. Here's our free pattern for basic socks! If you have more questions or run into trouble, don't hesitate to call or email our customer service line! www.jimmybeanswool.com/freePatternBasicToeUpSock.asp

Thank you. I have already bought the needles. And the needles came in a small paperbox here in Denmark. Not in the plastic ones. That’s why I asked

Hi again. Can I buy the cases? I can’t see them on the size.

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.

Hi there! Thank you for such an informative reply! We asked our team to reach out to Addi and confirm the composition of the metals in their tips - this is super important information to have! The workaround with ChiaoGoo tips and cables is a great solution, too. We'll let you know when we find out more information from Addi!

Hi again! We reached out to our supplier of Addi needles, and they confirmed for us that the FlexiFlips are made of white bronze plated brass tips and nylon cords. We hope this helps!

Well I have a nickel allergy serious enough to have a ceramic and titanium hip and not a nickel ball with the titanium stem
