I remember reading on this group a number of years ago that
some people had the kits with a detachable wire, different
sized needles which attached onto a wire. I can't remember
if they had different lengths but I know it was at a time
when I saw the kits in a magazine and wanted one. Everyone
said where the needle attached to the wire caused the wool
to catch and was annoying. Also, the wire would come off as
the join would come loose. So, even though I always work
with circular needles, I want to hear from people how these
new, expensive kits work before I buy.

Katherine, I just heard from a friend, that there are now circular
knitting needles for sale where you can change the length of the wire for
one size needles. Sorry, I can't remember the brand name, but I bet that
someone here may have heard about them and will tell us. You buy the
whole set and it is not cheap, but you do not have to buy all different
length any more of one size needle. I never seem to have the right
length, most of the time I have the correct size, but only need a wire for
say 30 st and I have one that will hold 60. I am going to look into that
one for Christmas when the kids ask what I want. The other tooli want is
for the garden....I want a pair of good garden snips, Mine always come
apart.....:=(( or worse I loose them.....LOL
