    Just kidding but, they are pretty small. When I first saw them, I laughed because they seem kind of ridiculous. I wondered how long it would take to get the hang of them. It didnt take long at all, actually. Casting on is a bit of a drag but then again, its always my least favorite part. I dont think its harder but because of the size, it took me a bit longer. Knitting with them feels pretty intuitive and is actually fun. They make the cutest little stitches too. Now, I have fairly small fingers (size 4 on my ring finger) so I honestly dont know if that makes it easier for me to use them but maybe. If you are a beginner, you probably arent going to buy these right now anyway but if you do, there probably will be a learning curve. I do wish the metal to bamboo had a smoother transition as it seems like it rubs my finger slightly. I have some Addi Turbo circulars as well but they dont seem to rub like that. Could just be me. I actually prefer these Takumis over the Addis though. I wish they would make these in an 8 length but I guess Ill just have to break out the DPNs. Anyway, I call these my Super Tiny Fun Needles because they are just that. Fun to knit with and adorable as well!

    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).

    Very nice. Ordered it to be able to knit socks in the round (for the most part). A little too short for working the toe part (had to switch to double pointed needles, but otherwise I was not disappointed. Took them on a trip with me, and once I got used to working with the short length, my speed increased, I wasnt dropping my double pointeds (as usual) and could stash the whole thing right in my purse. Very nice needles

    The needles were fine & good quality. I just had trouble using the small loop with my knitting. If I had more time to get used to them, I would have continued using them. As it was, I was in a hurry & went back to using two circular needles to knit my sleeves in the round.

A new knitting needle size to love. Angled for ease and comfort when knitting small circular designs. The new 9-inch takumi circular needles are made with the finest bamboo on the planet.
