​@@ursulafatton6990moi non plus

thank you for your kind words!

well, I honestly believe that this is what critique is about and try to stick to it as much as possible I see it like this: If you end up with food poisoning and I tell you "well, don't eat fly agarics." What can you do with this knowledge? Not a lot because you still don't know what to eat. Out of a million plants, you now know one thing you can't eat. And now what? Are you supposed to try yourself through the rest in a similar manner? But if I tell you, "oranges are good/better for you". Well, that's something you can act upon. I sincerely believe that's how our (and all animal) brains are wired and anything but non-positive feedback is a waste of time.

You know, in England, during the 18th & 29th century, they used premanufactured wire as well!

I've been thinking about this. 😂

I love this! ❤

i did the something like this when i broke a DPn--sharpened the tip, sanded it, coated w/ clear nail polish--not as good a wood treatment as yours, but it worked. 🙂

Yay!🎉

Genious!!

very happy to hear this!

glad we are in agreement in our assesment. ANd yes, they are definitely something to splurge on for experienced ppl who knit a lot!

When I first read your comment, I was confused about the comment on the fixed circular needles until I got to the part of the video where he shows the fixed circular. They have changed these since I got mine many years ago. My fixed circular that I got years ago is much more like their convertible needles. It’s the same black super flexible cable the same swivel join system sans the unscrewable part. So imagine a convertible needle where you can’t screw the cable off that’s what their fixed circulars used to be like and they were really nice.

i wouldn't mind helping to develope my perfect needles *grin* typically, it seems that companies don't notice my videos. and if they do, they never message me :) But hey, I am not recording them for them anyway.

I couldn't agree more. If a developing company were to ask Norman for advice, I believe they would have an ultra winning set.

yeah, many at my local knitting meet-up love these zings! and they are very similar!

I love the Signature DPNs for socks... they're my go-to needles. I've used many other brands of dpns too for socks but somehow the Signature DPNs are just so much more comfortable to knit with. I use my cheaper brands if I'm away from home with my knitting since they are easier to justify the cost of replacing a lost set of needles

I have a pair of straight, 7 inch, 2.25mm, stiletto tip. I bought them to make a Northeasterly throw using my leftover sock yarn. This will be a long term project so I decided to treat myself. I love everything about them!

@@NimbleNeedles i love the zing dpns too! i loved the dpns so much i bought a set of zing interchangeables too. they are lightweight have nice smooth transitions, fit all the mindful, lykke, lantern moon, and knit pro, drops cables too. my favorite combo are the lantern moon cables with the zings. if the zings were pointier they would be too perfect. i do need some bamboo needles so please please please do the chaiogoo vs see knit, you do such a wonderful job.

these needles are certainly a wonderful way to treat yourself!

What a considerate xmas gift, wow! Count yourself lucky!

they certainly are one of the lesser known brands. So, that's probably not uncommon!

yeah..it's kinda weird how both needles have the same tips but..for whatever reason, all other brands equip their dpns with blunter tips. So I greatly enjoy these dpns. Give them a try and they certainly won't unscrew!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for your feedback Lynn. And yeah, it certainly is a major factor ..and I guess it also keeps my mind frree, if that makes any sense? No pressure to produce a sponsor-pleasing content.

yes, needle material can have such a huge impage on your gauge. (It's one of the tricks I always mentionw hen ppl fail to get gauge!)

yah, that's a smart attiutde. I mean if you enjoy what you have, why replace it. chances are high that you only waste money ;-)

well, and they do offer a lifetime warranty anyway. So, I am sure they will accompany either way!

well, these are tools for a lifetime. So being hesitant - especially at this price point - speaks for you!

So nice of you

As a beginer, I don't think these are a good investment - even later there are great choices for every budget!

i still gotta shoot a lantern moon review here. Tho...i personally never need non-slippery needles, lol...so i hardly ever use them.

I also live in WI and wanted to support this business, so I have a few circs. I find them to be beautiful but recently was knitting with mohair and it kept catching in the tip, causing them to unscrew. I was totally surprised and ended up switching out something else.

well said. You are spending hours upon hours with those tools and materials. ANd that's one of the reason why I typically buy very high quality yarn. If I spend 60 hours holding it in my hand and than another (hopefully) lifetime of wearing it...well it better be good!

excellent point Darlene. There are no perfect needles and every body works differently. But then again, we should be thankful for all the diversity because for some other ppl these might be perfect. I think it's a good thing!

I personally never tried the Brittany ones!

yes, for someone who loves dpns as much as I do...that is just great!

Nothing wrong with stick to what you already like 😊

oh wow. thank you, Jane!

hm...well..i could do a video in the future. But needle organisation is always a bit of a mess :P

In a video on saving money on knitting, Norman showed a ring-binder with sheet protectors to keep circulars separate and contained-and labeled on the protector. Brilliant idea!

thank you for your confirmation, mary

I'd agree and (hope i) hinted at that in the introduction. Then again, these are super small scale productions. I bet there is at least a 10$ margin just so they r 'exclusive'. Then again, I don't think they grow fabulously rich selling these.

@@NimbleNeedlesyes you did, and thank you, I've found if you question the cost vs product in most knitting groups you get attacked vs answered. I do agree if a person has that amount of disposable income go for it, tool quality does make a difference in the long run, but there are many excellent mid priced that are close. These seem to fill a specific niche that seems to have exploded with quarantine. New crafters following influencers and creaters with disposable means.

@@maryarneson5815 Well, I think what often happens in knitting, but crafts in general. See, you can knit with some wholesale acrylic yarn and 1 dollar bamboo needles from china. And the truth is, you can knit very well with those items already. So, a lot of internal persuasion is happening to justify that 60 dollar skein of hand-dyed yarn, those 100 US-Dollar scissors you don't really for knitting, the expensive leather projectbag, and those 100 USD needles. You really don't need these. But you kind of tricked yourself into believing they make such a huge difference that the money is justified. And you get joy from those purchases. maybe you even saved a bit to access that joy. And then, when someone comes along and tells you:"Well, they may be nice but certainly not worth that kind of money". And I think you cannot do anything else but go into attack mode - because otherwise, you would start to question your whole craft. (btw..the same thing is often happen with religious fanatics. Deep down, they know they are ranting bullshit..but they can't admit it so they attack). The only way to get to them is to listen and listen intently first, and then, when you are "one of them", you may perhaps breach the topic carefuly. Now, I always say: do what brings you joy and what you can afford. So, I don't think there is a problem either way. Still, thank you so much for sharing your professional view. I am very sure it will help a lot of people reading in their decisions.

they call it slip grip technology. but yeah, you are absolutely right, that's what causes the noise

ha...they price is indeed hefty! ;-) tho, as I said, i do love the dpns

ha! well..they do ship internationally..but of course the price point remains (+ shipping!)

i never tried the dyakcraft needles yet. well..one day I might. But they are not as widely available and I try to stay away from needles people from all aorund the world will have big difficulties aquiring.

As always, my pleasure!

definitely, for professionals, the standards are definitely different!

I appreciate that!

Aww..thank you Linda! And thank you so much for upping your patreon membership! 🥰🙏🧶

definitely!

sound plan!

I don't think you should bet on a lifetime warranty from here on

they certainly ARE pricey!

They closed down anyway now 😅

no idea either. One should expect, at this pricepoint, that's the first thing where they could distinguish themselves. I am now using a bodolina case for them. But well... As for the noice: I think you have to be very careful there and it's a very common theme that issues of neurodivergent and hypersensitive people get dismissed. Noises like this can be a make or break thing for a huge percentage of the population (like up to 5 percent) even though you might barely notice it.

heh..well who knows :P

Any time!

yeah, aluminum might not be the best choice for a beginner *smirk*

Aww..thank you so much!

I appreciate that

yes, you are definitely right there.

quite honestly.. if you have all these sets..the difference will be just so minor. I dunno...if really would make any sense!

Agreed. And your video has been very helpful as I’ve always wondered and I appreciate it!😊🤗

apparently they once produced 2.00 mm. tho, could be they discontinued them due to durablity concern?!

Thank you so much for supporting my work. Happy Easter!

that's a good approach. I personally always feel a bit guilty that I own all these sets but hardly ever use the big sizes!

yes knit pro and knitters pride are the same (and they do produce a lot of white label stuff as well...like knit pick, etc)

Thanks for watching!

yeah, I too, am a big fan of super sharp needles!

that certainly can be a beautiful option as well(except you already own too much yarn, haha!)
