KnitPicks New 16″ Circular Needles

posted in Knit-witted |

So, we’ve been anxiously waiting to see what KnitPicks was going to come up with. We’ve all been waiting on the edge of our seats for an answer to the quest for a 16″ circular needle from KnitPicks. Those of us with the interchangeable kit (KnitPicks Options) were hoping that the solution would work with the existing kit.

After the long wait, KnitPicks released the 16″ circular needles, BUT they are classic needles. You have to buy separate needles, pretty much an entire set. Otherwise, you’ll just have to stick with using the “magic hoop” method, or use 2 circ needles for your smaller project.

I’m disappointed, but from a business stand point, I did not expect KnitPicks to resize the molds for the needle tips. That’s just not cause effective. *Sigh*

On the bright side, I still love, adore and treasure my KnitPicks Options set, so there’s no harm done.

Thanks anyway KnitPicks!
