Bamboo Circular Knitting Needles Takumi , 9-Inch Size 3 (3016/9-03)

When I first tried them, I didnt think I was going to like them at all. Once I got used to them, though, without having to shuffle between double pointeds or even magic loop, my speed at sock knitting improved noticeably. I did switch to DPNs for the heel/gusset and to hold the stitches for the Kitchener bind-off, but the cuff, leg, and foot portions flew by. Also, since there is no switching between pairs of needles, the dreaded laddering is a thing of the past.

Very good for the small stuff, like a socks or gloves.

I am very happy with the product, but canot believe that it took 10 days to get here!! The date on the package was 2/20/2013 and I didnt get it until the 28th.

I tried these for socks after hearing so much about 9 inch circulars. Clovers are my favorite needles. These look weird because there is nothing to them, but unless you have large hands or trouble with grip, I think you would do fine with these. They knit faster and pretty much eliminate dropped stitches. Making anything smaller or larger in circumference than an adult sock would be a problem. I am had only knitted 3 pairs of socks in my life when I got these, and I took right to them, but I am a fast learner. People seem to love them or hate them. I love them!

I love this brand it is great for beginners but I am not fond of this needle it was very hard to use and my mother Got it at the same time and agreed with me Very hard to use

A lovely little needle. I admit, it took a few rows to adjust to the tiny circle, but once I did its been nothing but smooth sailing. The needle is durable and the stitches slide smoothly. Clover has yet to disappoint me, and I expect to buy more of their products in the future.

These are awesome! For someone like me, who isnt especially skilled at using double-pointed needles for knitting in the round, this is the perfect solution. These needles are the perfect length for knitting gloves and socks in the round. The needles themselves are rather short, but I suspect this is how they must be designed for such a short circumference. Once I got the hang of using these shorter needles, my knitting went smoothly and was much more rewarding than using DPNs (I always manage to have ladders and jogs when I use them).

These are great knitting needles.I had to return them as I ordered them in the wrong size.The yarn just seems to glide off of them.I would order them again!!!

Great for small projects!

These needles are good for lace knitting or finishing up another project like a baby hat. The needles are teeny, so they might be difficult to get used to if you have big hands, would probably work well for kids
