Thank you!
I need this set in my life! You have me laughing in every video, LOVE your bubbly personality
I am super happy to bring a smile to your day!
I'm so happy to find this review. I've was literally looking at these yesterday! THANKS for sharing.
Yay! I'm happy you found me too!
Another great video! That magnetic necklace is a wonderful idea. I am always dropping stitch markers all over the place and that would be a great help.
😄😂🤣you are SO funny,I love watching you unbox stuff thank you for the laughs
I'm so glad you had fun!
Omg! Amazing necklace!! I MUST get one!!!
It really is brilliant!
Really sharp needle set! Your giggle is so much fun to hear! Happy Friday make your weekend a fantastic one🦋
Thank you. I hope your weekend was lovely.
Best Review ever!!! You brighten my day so much!!! You give the best review because you know knitting and everything that comes with it!! Thank you so much for being detail on the products!!! I want to buy this product!!! Thank you, Thank you for being so AWESOME!!!!! HAPPY KNITTING!!!
Wow, thank you! I am so glad you found this review helpful. They are great needles.
I just received my knitters pride kit today and your video was really helpful!!! Thank you so much!
I'm so glad!
I’ve just found your channel on utube. You’re a breath of fresh air and I found myself smiling all the way through your review. You cover all the things we ‘really need to know’ when considering a purchase. I’ve actually got the Ginger special set and find them really lovely. I’m just considering some Chiaogoo for a longer tip set even though I know I won’t be able to mix and match them.
Thank you for brightening my evening here in a very rainy UK.
I am so glad you enjoyed the video!
Love this set! I was laughing about the magnetic necklace but it totally makes sense! I’m always dropping/loosing stitch markers so I would definitely use it.
It is quite silly, but it is totally useful.
I LOVE this set! I love the size range, wood needles & the vegan leather!!! Woot :) thank you knitters pride for thinking of us vegheads!!! ;) the magnetic area for pattern is genius. I guess I will ask for money for Christmas so I can get a set :). Great review Barbara! Your so funny & fun to watch :)
I'm glad my video was helpful!
Thank you so much for your helpful video. I have just purchased my first set of interchangeable needles with the advice from a helpful shop assistant. The extra features you showed were terrific. I know I’ve got a really good product to enjoy for years to come.
Glad it was helpful!
It was so nice to hear and see a review of a product I was considering purchasing.
I enjoy your humorous approach and through coverage of the products. I love to knit and have subscribed to your channel. Thanks!😊🌹
I am so glad you enjoyed the video! Welcome!
I recently purchased this set. I am glad I found this video of yours.
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you, Ms. Barbara. And hope your hand heals and restore you to your love for needlework!
The love is still there!
@@WatchBarbaraKnit 💜
You are really fun to watch, and very informative. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
WOW! Nice needles! I love your patterns amazingly talented Artist 💙🦋
Thank you!
I purchased the 4 inch Ginger set. The case is red/brown instead of blue. I made an Afghan that had a lot of cables so I purchased the magnetic necklace to hold my cable needle. It sure helped keep track of that needle!
My size 3 and 4 needles both broke on the tip when I was casting on. My LYS did replace them, because it was within a year. Just an FYI to be careful with the smaller needles.
Love your personality and this very informative video! Thank you Gurl!!!👏🏼😂🙏🏻👍🏼🌸🌷
Thank you!
I've lost it! I'm laughing my self to the point of tears! Your description of how you hold your needles is great. I thought how can you knit like that..... then I looked down at my hands.... same position EXACTLY! Lol, so I guess you are not alone!
LOL, judge not .... ;)
How funny I just put the knitters pride needle set in my Amazon cart and just saw this video. I appreciate this review. Thank You!
You are so welcome!
Thorough review! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I think I know what my Christmas presents will be this year. My husband passed in February so I thought I would treat myself to something special this year. Thanks for the reviews.
You should definitely be kind with yourself as you adjust to your new life. My mother has recently gone through the same loss and I have seen how hard it is.
This was incredibly entertaining...I was not ready, but I just went with it. Totally agree-your enthusiasm and laughter is contagious. Thank you for all of this-parrot, vegan people, and all. LOL Too great.
Thank you so much. If I was able to bring a smile into your day then it was worth it.
Loved watching you for the first time! I am subscribed and a new fan. Thanks for your review of the new KP interchangeables.
Yay and welcome! I hope you continue to enjoy my videos!
Hello Barbara, thank you for this lovely video. I must just say something about the keys to remove the cable from the needle. I got stuck once because I couldn´t find the key to remove a cable once and my mum said "use a pin", after doubtfully looking at her, I did and lo and behold, it worked. Since then, I haven´t been scared about not having a key because a pin or a safety pin, work exactly the same....... and everyone has a saftey pin at home! The necklace is great! It´s a great idea!!!!
Excellent tip! Safety pins are great to have around. And moms are usually right about things LOL.
Yes, and Paperclips work, and needles with the right diameters, wire which is thin and strong works,... I've got my little key at my neclace and so it's allways with me. Another one I made firm on a stitchmarker and so it's never lost. When I begin to knit a new project I allways put a key with a stitchmarker to the project's first few stitches and you though you get more than one key with a set , or one with every cable you'll haeve enough of them to have one at every projekt. My friends smile at me because of the needlekey on my neclace first but after a while they know why I do so. You can put it on your housekeys e. g. or somewhere else whre it's with you when you need it. We women aren't as silly as some people may think, we find places so we can knit and change wherever and whenever we want. Tren't we?
Yes I’ve done that before myself LOL
Thank you for the reviews. I’d been wondering about the new Gingers. I love the case, so much nicer than the plastic one with my Knitters Pride/knitPro interchangeable set. And I love the necklace! Awesome idea, that might’ve saved me from losing my fave marker down the vent on my car’s dashboard. 😱 Pitfalls of car knitting I guess. I lusted after Zings last year, but ended up with Chiagoos, which I do like. I did get the Zings DPN set since I didn’t have any, and find the tips much less dangerous for me. Now I’m feeling the need for a good wood set! 🤔
It is one of the nicest cases I have seen. You can never have too many needles.
As usual I love your videos... Great holiday ask!
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you for your video I think you are hysterical and I love the way you explained every single little thing that helps you understand everything thank you thank you thank you. And yes I lose my darning needle every time I have to sew in ends lol 😂
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Hello from Latvia:) I love your videos so much! I don’t speak English but I will try to learn it:)
Love your channel, just found it today. You are so cheerful and animated and full of personality, make it both fun and informative to watch.
I'm sure Knitter's Pride is very happy with your demo video. I have a Knitter's Pride set of bamboo needles which I like very much. If it wasn't that another knitter said that "Hey, you can knit with two circulars and just use one size smaller on the other end. Your stitches come out the size of the needle you knit with." -- I might have decided I had to have another set to do two circular knitting. Wonderful idea for hats with bulky yarn, made several this winter season and glad not to have to had invested in other needles to afford yarn.
RE Vegan: The more we save the Earth, is good for all of us. It just shows me that Knitter's Pride has their hearts in the right place. And I try to eat with a conscience as my husband had cancer so we both eat this way now so he does not have a reoccurrence. We've both lost weight but that was not the object, it was avoiding the cancer.
I'm so glad you liked the video! I think that the Vegan cover is great, I am just always perplexed what it is made out of. Of course, if I really wanted to know I guess I could google. Some things just strike me as funny.
@@WatchBarbaraKnit I rewatched your video today as it came up in UA-cam feed and still love watching you. Here’s a funny as in funny “odd”: Gerber was trying to sell their jar baby food and was selling it as here, with a picture of a baby to indicate it is food FOR a baby. In Africa, no one was buying their product as they thought the food WAS BABY! Literacy ... we take it so much for granted.
Hahahahaha love the "strapies" :D Loved this review and will watch your other videos also! :D
I'm so glad I could be helpful.
You are great love to watch you
Thank you!
Mona Dimitri I totally agree!
This is one of the funniest videos I have ever watched. I mean it was very informative, but some of the names and phrases you said, I laughed out loud!! Sounds like the way I talk.
Thanks for the laugh in the middle of the afternoon.
😂
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this needle set. I also like the set with the different colored needles. I have a set of Chiaogoo interchangeable needles. My lace projects kept slipping stitches so I switched to a knitters pride bamboo needle. I also have one set of knitters pride wood dreamz circular needles. I have trouble with interchangeable needles though because the join comes undone half-way through a row. I use the pin thingy.
Hmm, usually using the pin thingie and really cranking it down works for me!
thank you so much for your review! :)
Glad it was helpful!
I love my knitters pride needles, I have them in wood, steel and shorties and unless I am forced to use 4 needles for a size my baby chio goos don't fit, I use interchangeable! doubly convenient when knitting hats on circular and changing from one needle to another size for body, love love love.
Excellent!
I have that set... at first, I hated it because it was too dark for my taste, but when I started using it I love it. I got the red color vegan case because it was on sale.
I'm glad you warmed up to it!
I do love NaN the necklace a lot
Another awesome and entertaining review. 😊 The needles are beautiful. I'll have to check out the Knitters Pride site. I would have done the same thing with the magnetic necklaces. Have a wonderful weekend. 😀
Thank you! Have an awesome day!
You not only showed your new fantastic set but you entertained me so much ! Thank you! You're wonderful and your ideas to use different things for others remind me on me myself. You are a great person all in all! God bless you, my sister! I'm from Germany and I have Karbonz, Options, Synfonies, Natures, Acrylic and the Royals . Only the Royals aren't as well as all the others to ME, because of the little hole at the tips that scratch a little bit with the other needle. May be one can become familiar with this, me not really. When I'm able to hold my Royals a bit more rolled I don't notice it, but I don't want to put my eyes on the tips doing it right.I just wanna knit and that's fine with all the others. If they cme to Germany I'll buy one needle size and when it's way better than one of mine I'll buy the set. They lok very similar to the Nature set, but my cables are with shiny ends as the needles, too. Yours, in black, with brown cables, look great! Be blessed!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so glad you enjoyed the video. I was unfamiliar with the Royals and looked them up - I can totally see how the hole could be annoying, but I am intrigued by the wood/metal combo. All the best!
@@WatchBarbaraKnit a lot of people write that wood and metall don't fit together. I had only 3 needles which weren't knittable (at all 32 needles incl DPNs). But , yes, it can be. It's the same with Karbonz. When ok, they grab the yarn a bit more than wood. But the wonderful tip makes worth it so much! These I use when in former times I thought to need Royals. My Royals so sleep the whole time - unused! I filled them up from 3,0 mm short and long to 15,0 mm and bought the DPNs. For nothing. I'd like to sell them away to a person who would use it. They all are fine where tip goes to the needle. I prooved it hard!
Also good tip is that if you constantly lose those keys. T-pins and safety pins fit in those holes as well.
Good point!
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for listening!
I just received my Knit Pro set♥️ European version...love. I just keep petting and playing with it. And I "discovered" what the short loops were for the same way😅
I hope you get many years of great use out of your set!
I really like the necklace. I put the cable needle down and the have to search for it the next time I need it.
I had a ton of fun with it LOL.
You have such a contagious laugh.
Thank you!
Thanks so much for this review. I can’t be the only one looking for KP needles in 9 mm and above sizes. Wouldn’t it be great if KP made a set of 9 to 15 mm needles. Really enjoy your channel💖
Thank you so much.
My first time watching you you are a hoot just a little info I bought a vegan leather purse not that I need another purse but we always need purses shoes and needles correct it lasted forever so long with you I have the same set and I’m hoping my cases last as long as my purse did!!
Are purses ever about need?
I lose my stitch markers and my plastic stuff so i switched to safety pins for marking and little circles with metal charms. it works great and i have a metal tray that is magnetic by my chair on my little table. my crafting space is a comfy chair, a table and another long table on the side for all my stuff. i also have an office chair when I get tired of one chair i switch out. but i found i dropped the regular long needles so circular needles are perfect for me. i am looking for a set. thanks for the review
I drop straights when I use them too! Circulars for the win.
Strappy guys and flappy guys -- LOL -- you're speaking my language!
LOL, I hope you got the gist.
Great review! I don't knit as of yet; I crochet, but wish to learn to knit so consider me a new subscriber. I recently ordered a cheap set to start, and waiting for it to arrive. Once I learn to knit, I'd love to get this set (if possible). I enjoyed your video; you're funny...😄 Thank you for making me smile as I'm going through a lot at this time... However, let me wish you a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year...🎄😊
Welcome to knitting, you'll have a ton of fun. One thing that might help you avoid being too frustrating is remembering how long it took you to feel comfortable crocheting!
@@WatchBarbaraKnit
Thank you. I'll remember that if I start getting frustrated...😄
I'd love to have that set. The magnetic pattern holder is a necessity .
It is a great addition to the case!
Vegan Leather! Wow! Just call it Pleather!!!😆😆😆
LOL
aka "polyurethane" lol
I used to have a pleather jacket in the 1990s 😂
ZINGS,,,Love them!
They're the best!
Beautiful set....waaayyy out of my price range 😭 ...great review! 😊
Thank you!
So I first thought, too! But when you think of höw many different range and different longth of your needles it is , you see you've got more than 70 different needles with this one AND THEN you can make one with 2" and the other one is e.g.6" etc... I never needed another one since I've got a komplet set! And I can park my begun project, unscrew the needles, put a new cable on the needles and make another one! I bought some cables more and I can work as many, as long and as made with big or smallest yarn I want. After a while it begins to be cheaper as if you allways have to buy new needles in good quality. See the very fine quality that makes you love knitting, with no pain on your hands! 8ait 1/2 a year and lay money aside, then the get cheaper and then: get it!!! It's worth it, I swear if you want! I'm handicaped and have very less money but it's worth every single cent/dollar! Really! You'll see knitting goes faster and easier and you'll have allways with you what you need. Please, think twice, this time! Be blessed!
Thank you for the review! I just ran across these somewhere and was intrigued by them.
Next I _must_ find a 8 pr 9 inch set of DPNs in the 4-13 range (I know I likely won't get them all in one set). I wanted wood, but I would love to have a Zing DPN set in that size/range. SO HARD TO FIND.
I'm afraid I won't be helpful with DPNs I so don't use them. I agree 4 - 13 is going to be tough, you'll most likely need 2 sets.
Try looking on Knitpicks they have double pointed needles
The keys for those cables run away very far to another universe. I did see on another knitting UA-camrs channel were you can use those metal lightbulbs shaped safety pens instead of those keys. I tried it out and it does work. Also, you’re adorable in this one! Your personality just jives with me so well. I really like that magnetic necklace. I might have to look into getting one of those. I wish the set that you’re talking about came in metal. I am such a tight knitter that I snap the tips of the wood needles. I really liked this review.
They do run away indeed. I have used the blocking t-pins that I seem to have everywhere for tightening.
Thanks for the review! Personally, I would not want anything magnetic near my neck and chest.
I really like that necklace! I lose those all the time. My sofa eats them. LOL I've been wanting a review of those needles. I think you have the most thorough on you tube right now as last week I couldn't find much about them. They are so so pretty. I usuall prefer metal needles. I was also looking at the set that has shorter ones with 2 16 in cords for hats. Are the tips similar to the laminated wood knitters pride Dreamz?
I just checked the website and it appears yes, they are the same laminated wood as the Dreamz. If you do a lot of hats 16 in cords make total sense!
I love your quirky sense of humor. I was laughing out loud at the vegan leather comment and had to pause the video and explain to my husband what was so funny. One question. Wearing that necklace in the kitchen...do you have to resist the urge to stick to the fridge? LOL As always, I enjoy and look forward to your videos.
I'm glad I could bring a laugh to you!
Que bellas agujas
Gracias.
that actually would be a great idea to add in the set a couple of "stitch markers"with the needle sizes available in the set engraved in it, so you could put it on the cable before putting the stopper and using your needle for another project.
That's a great idea!
I just ordered the set.
I can't wait to hear what you think of them!
It arrived today. I am excited to use them. Using them now and they are everything you said they are. Loving them!
After watching this video I got the set your convinced me to take the plunge Thank you , if I may ask what is your thoughts on the Addi flex needles I have been hearing about ? and what size would you recommend TY
I hope you love the needles. I haven't used the Flexi Flips yet - maybe soon?
i wan to know
what do you use usually
i've always been a crocheter but have been interested in knitting for a while now. I've always knitted on metal needles because that's all i had 😅this set of wooden needles looks beautiful and i love the amount of things it comes with but i've also looked into the zing needle set as well since they're metal. I've done some research and apparently wooden needles feel more "grippy" than metal needles do and i'm a bit worried that could be a problem since i'm used to the slippyness of the metal ones. since you use both i wanna ask if the feeling is that much different and which ones you prefer more and have continued using? by the way, you are an absolute joy to listen to and you made this review very entertaining for me to watch, thank you! ☺
Personally I use metal needles 95% of the time because I am a tight knitter. It really is a personal preference.
Hi Barbara! Thank you for your review. Do you think other Knitter’s Pride needles will work with the ginger cords? My 3.25mm needle snapped and I’d rather get a KP needle from a different set to save some money than get another ginger 3.25mm. Thanks!
I think they all work interchangeably, but I would suggest you write them to find out for sure.
Barbara! Help… my cable keeps detaching from the needle. The little metal key to tighten doesn’t seem to do anything when I put it into the little hole and turn it. Thanks! Love all your videos 💕
If it doesn’t tighten then your best bet is to go to the store you bought it from or contact the manufacturer.
I love your video. I am considering this set. I have other knitters pride sets. After 4 months do you still like and use these needles?
Yes I do!
Do the cables in this set/brand allow for "safety lines"? After learning the hard way about those I've been looking for the needlles/sets that let you add it as you knit the row.
Yes indeed they do!
I’m looking at getting my first “nice” interchangeable needle set. Looking at zings, gingers, and a couple of others. What are your favorites?
It really is up to personal preference. I really love my Zings for metal and the Gingers are great as a wooden needle.
I have Knitters Pride Platina's. I ruv them :)
Those are great!
Nice
Thanks!
Do these have the twist cables like hiya hiya? I've always had issues with knitters pride needles unscrewing while I'm knitting. I hate trying to pick up all of the dropped stitches
Unfortunately no, the cables do not twist.
Vegan leather is a faux leather
Artificial. There are three types two are made of plastic PU n PVC. There are also plant leather which is better for the environment. Like they use pineapple leaves.or fruits and vegetables. Hope this helps
Interesting. I know more than I did. It didn't have a plastic-y smell at all so maybe it is plant leather?
love the "is it made out of real vegans." great nod to the Adams family.
LOL, you caught me.
Hey dear! This is one of the funniest reviews ive seen 😂😂
im thinking about purchasing a set of interchangeable needles. This is by far the one with the most range, after all this years, are they still as good? Im looking to invest, so durability really matters to me.
Do u like this set or would you personally prefer another? I hold my needle just like u 😂
I still use this set and have not found one with a larger range!
😆 im sitting here knitting away
Barbara "look it"
Me *peeks up from knitting* "sorry, ill set this down."
LOL - you're allowed to knit.
I'm wondering if the Keys stick on that as well.
I haven't had an issue with it, but I haven't used them extensively.
They look really nice, but I would worry about the laminated wood, living in a hot and humid place, I guess very similar to Florida...
I have a couple of sets of laminated wood tips and haven't seen any problem with them yet, but I'll keep you updated.
Hi, the etching doesn't rub off? I have dreamz and karbo n and the sizes rubbed off after little use
I haven't noticed it, but I do not use this set heavily.
Did you get the connector with the set? Thats the delux kit correct? How much were they?
The connector did come with the kit. As I stated in the video, the set was sent to me to review. So I don't know how much they cost, also, it's been a few years so the price might have changed since then!
I have 4 interchangeable sets. I cannot seem to lock them down using the key to tighten the needles to the cord. The only set I have no problem with is the Denise Interchangables b/c they lock in, but the cord is so thick. It has been so frustrating.
I totally understand. I find my knitting style tends to unscrew them.
Thank you Barbara for an exceptional review on this ginger set.
I’ll be 62 tomorrow March 30 so I’ll hop onto Amazon and buy this
For me now. May I ask how much you paid for your set? On a scale from 1 to 10,
10 being the best, please wait the knitters pride ginger set.
The set is currently $118 on Amazon. Is that a fair deal? 🧶
I believe that I mentioned in the video, and if I did not I apologize. The set was sent to me by the company to do the review. So I did not pay for it. Around $100 is what I would expect for a set with this range of needle sizes and accessories.
I don't know that I can give you a rating, but I think it's a great set.
Meant to say your video 😉
How does these needles compare to the symfonie wood needles? Does anyone know?
I believe that in construction they are almost the same. The main differences are in the color and how they are organized.
Are there any interchangeable tips that stick to a magnet?
Hmmm, I honestly don't know.
Just like years ago we bought an office chair from staples and was wondering what kind of leather it was. The answer was: it’s staple leather 😅
It doesn't moo, it squeaks.
Let me know if your cables come loose or fall off, thanks im hoping to get the set soon as a gift
I haven't had that happen yet - but you need to remember to tighten them well with the provided key.
@@WatchBarbaraKnit how does the key work? It doesnt look like it has ridges for a lock or snap thing i dont get it. Thanks
@@WatchBarbaraKnit thank you
Are knitters pride affiliated with Lykke needles? They look exactly the same?
I don't think so. And I think that the Lykke are lighter in color
I think it differences in type of wood that both wood. The Lykke is made from Driftwood, the knitters pride I think is made from the laminate wood that use for the dreamz needle.
WatchBarbaraKnit thank you
Alechia Neathery Thank you
Hi
Hello!
Also, the cable cord key sticks to the necklace...
It does indeed! I tried that before I started filming but forgot to do it on camera.
WatchBarbaraKnit you know what else seem to stick to that necklace? Cat paws😜
The term ‘vegan leather’ describes several material alternatives to animal-based leather. These materials look, feel, and have the same attributes as leather, however, without having to sacrifice animals in the making. Vegan leather is often made from polyurethane, a polymer that can be made to order for any designer's whim. It can also be made from innovative and sustainable materials such as pineapple leaves, cork, apple peels, other fruit waste, and recycled plastic and used to create products that put animal skins to shame.
Thank you for that info!
Vegan means how it was tanned, or processed. I think it is leather.
How can I join your FB it says it's closed
You just have to request to join.
WatchBarbaraKnit I did got in Thank you love your videos! My ginger set comes this week ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just so you know... A regular safety pin works as well as the actual pin. I always manage to lose those tiny pins..
Nice looking needles...
Good to know! Happy New Year!
Hi everyone, can somebody tell me the length of these needles. thank you
I think they are available with both 4 and 5 inch tips.
@@WatchBarbaraKnit Thank you so much I was able to find them in 5 inch which is what I was looking for I’m very new to knitting and I love your channel you’re a great teacher and I love your personality thanks again for your help
Do you have a video demonstration on magic loop?
I do indeed! You can see it here: ua-cam.com/video/PwShXMdn9yU/v-deo.html it is an older video and I think I may have improved my camera work a bit since then.
"is it made out of real vegans?" Made me physically laugh out loud 😂
I couldn't help myself.
