Size 17 - 29" Circular Knitting Needle Recommendation

None, of my local shops have this needle is stock and the websites I
have visited do NOT have a picture of this needle (in plastic handles
only) from Susan Bates. I have a Denise Needle set but it stops at 15.


Any suggestions? I hate some of the circular needles stiff cables so I

would like to avoid that. I am impressed with the Denise Needles'
cable (so soft and pliable) love to have a 17 like that.

I picked mine up at Wal-Mart.

HobbyLobby and Michaels ought to havebig needles. I *almost* broke
down and bought a size 35 Addi circ a few months ago, then came to my
senses. I can't move muppet scarves fast enough to justify a $40
needle!

I've seen those at Wal-Mart for around $5

I can understand that you walked away from that, however maybe you can owe
a pair with a bunch of knitters. Most of the time you use only one set of
needles at the time anyway. Set up a sharing knitting needle group and
buy the exspensive ones....LOL

No, I think they were Lion Brand or something.

Bright, cheery plastic

Is Addi really that much more expensive? And that much better? If so, and if
you will use it, then you can justify buying it. Pro-rate the cost over the
life of the needles, and you will find that it is more reasonable, won't
you?
Just a suggestion, as I don't really know. My LYS owner says that they are
not that much better, to justify the cost. Maybe I should buy some, just to
try them. g

I think they run about $15-20 US, depending on the size and length.
