$40?!?!?!?!

I've seen those at Wal-Mart for around $5
From Addi.....?????

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.

So pro-rated would not be dreadful, then? Now, about the quality? Are they
worth the extra?

Higs,
Katherine

I don't know - I wouldn't pay that much more for them in any case. I've
heard they're terrific, and I've heard that they're not when using some
yarns. Like the slippery yarns, people like bamboo needles better.

I'll let you know my opinion after I try some. g

I do not know if they are better than other brands, I do know that they
are much higher in price. I love them, and when one of mine broke, I did
send it back to Seattle and I got a new one back with a lovely card and a
smile. Even so, I would not buy one if I did not needed one or if I could
not afford it.

I think they are very good, and they stand behind their product, with very
good service.

LOL Not until November, but we have an anniversary in July. Maybe Keith can
buy me needles, and I will buy him carving tools. g

LittleKnits (www.littleknits.com) has a #35 24" Addi for $12.

I ordered one. And some yarn.

I like Addi circs because they're the only circs I've come across that don't
have cab;e that fight to curl up all the time, twisting and needing fiddling
with very few minutes. For me that's worth the extra. Maybe I'm just picky
