We have gone round and round with Verizon ourselves. We should have investigated. Thanks for posting this. I'll be more wary in the future. Wow. We have gone round and round with Verizon ourselves.

]]> Comment on Denise Interchangeables vs. KnitPicks Options Knitting Needles by Webigail http://www.webigail.com/crafty/purl-a-day/denise-vs-knit-pick-options/#comment-1367 Webigail Fri, 30 May 2008 03:47:05 +0000 http://webigail.com/?p=52#comment-1367 I've dropped my stitches with Denise too. I think that I knitted very tightly and as a result the connector would twist, coming apart. The only problem I had with KnitPick Options is making sure that I had the connectors screwing tightly before knitting. Before buying the set, I always recommend buying a pair of tips and a cable. Give that a try before taking the plunge and be sure to let me know what you think, good or bad :) I’ve dropped my stitches with Denise too.

I eventually got the Denise set because of the bells and whistles, I've gotta have my 17" circs. Anyways, after about a year and a half, I'm selling my Denise set because the needles pop off all the time and I lose my stitches. Very fustrating. I've heard lots and lots of good about the Options and hopefully they'll live up to their name. I took me a loong time to decide between the Denise set and the Options.

The unnamed instructor is an incredible knitter and an asset to the knitting to community. She just was not good for ME. Someone else may benefit and thrive from her teaching, but I did better with Carla and maintain that Carla is one of the most well-rounded instructors I've met. With that said...if you're interested in classes with Carla, she can be found at Natural Stitches in Pittsburgh. If you take a class with her, let me know what you thought :) You won't be disappointed. I promise this. Hi Sue,

Lesley Stanfield should have written instructions underneath the charts.Flipping back and forth looking at the symbols made me want to scream. I photo-copied the cable and the symbols,but,it didn't help. What is so IRRITATING the cable doesn't even look that hard. I have swatched an Alice Starmore intricate cable and the symbols was so good it was a pleasure to knit.I am not a fan of Ms.Starmore but credit where credit is due her instructions and charts are very good.

I too, felt that family treasure feeling one day when one arrived, with a piece of paper still stuck in. This one was an original sales reciept for the book, a pattern, and notions.
