I don't know if this counts as "crafty" but I'm a graphic designer and I've created some designs for t-shirts that I'm selling through Cafe Press. Link available upon request.

knitpicks comes with either the metal ( which I have) or the wooden ( which I have purchased a few tips)
I have never had the cable come undone- I did have one break at the join- the company replaced it quickly- and i was able to use superglue in the meantime. So out of all the cables, and almost 2 years now, thats been it, as far as cables.
I did have a wooden tip come loose from its metal base ( apparently insufficient glue was used during assembly, twice- it was annoying, once I did drop stitiches- but again quick service replaced them ( and superglue repaired the one that broke) It hasnt happened since.
They never just come undone- something that happened with the DEnise when I tried it.

Is the knitpicks options the ones with the multicolored wooden needles?

I've heard mixed reviews about knitpicks...some folks say that the cable can come undone...leaving the cable end free and work sliding off. But, lots of people don't seem to have the issue, and the company is supposed to have great service.

The Addis are expensive, but they have that click join that's supposed to stay connected better....that's a lot of cash, though, and they don't come with a #5.

Have you seen or tried the Denise, or CA, or Hiya Hiya?

I have the knitpicks options, and like them a lot!
they are flexible, and for the most part have held up well. One cable didnt, but they replaced them.
Addi turbo has a set now, and I like addis- they may be more expensive though.

I'm looking to get an interchangeable set of circular needles. The advice I get is often contradictory... Which is due, of course, to differing opinions. Still, I'll ask here.
I'm leaning toward steel; I like the slip. What material
do you like, what brand do you prefer and why?

Just on here having a quick break..first proper couple of days of springlike weather here in the UK.. should dig out the lighter yarns but got a new spinning wheel for my birthday and OCD has set in.. A discussion might break my addiction.

it would be nice to have some discussion going now :)
always always knitting- the weather is warming up here in AZ, but I am working mostly on small, light projects.

There is no activity here!
I see one person I know...anybody else in
Ga?

Hey, just wanted to say, I'm sorry! I've been locked out of AN for months now because I had something screwy with my username and password! Hope everyone is knitting away and looking forward to SPRING! (Break out the cotton and blend yarn!)
