Knitting small projects in the round is super easy with these needles. Stitches are even unlike when using regular double points. these needles were recommended to me by a friend and I'll highly recommend them here. I am an advanced beginner knitter.

Love this product. I ordered 2, but after knitting w/these needles —- I ordered 2 more sets. They are wonderful for knitting 🧶 yet more pairs of socks.

I was not able to use these needles thought they were made very well. I had no trouble with double pointed needles. These just didn't make my knitting easier. Some people really love them...personal choice.

It’s a learning curve and I haven’t finished a project yet with them but do far I really like them.

I knit with smaller flexi flips but much prefer these. The longer needle really reduces hand tension while knitting. Flexi Flips are much less fiddly than multiple DPNS for sock knitting. I do revert to DPNS for sock toe and gusseet sections.

They are new, interesting and different. Once you understand the concept and how to use — you will love them and wonder why you have any double pointed needles! They are working wonderfully well for socks and now that I have adapted for my pattern I love them!

This was my second experience using flexible double pointed needles (I tried the OTHER brand last time) and it was so much more enjoyable with these Flexiflips! They are very comfortable to hold and don’t cause numbness in my hand while knitting socks like my long metal circulars. I really like that they have two different tips… a more blunt and a more pointy end so you can decide which works best for your yarn. It does take a little getting used to to find your rhythm and process with these, but once you get the hang of it you can fly through your knitting. The only thing I would say is to double check the mm sizing when you order the needles you want. The US needle sizes didn’t correspond correctly to the mm sizes (i.e. size US 1 was listed as 2.5mm or something, but a US size 1 is actually 2.25mm). By ordering the correct mm size, I got the size 1 needles I wanted and they were great!

I got my first set of these needles yesterday afternoon. I immediately casted on for a sock and by late evening I was almost ready to start the heel. Here are my honest thoughts about these for sock knitting. I am an avid sock knitter, and I knit top-down only. I know my pattern in my head and I'm a fast DPN knitter. It took me about 5 rows of 64 sts to get comfortable with these needles. I find that I hold the back needle with the points between my thumb and forefinger on each hand. This is similar to what I do with DPNs, so that wasn't anything new for me. I do believe that I knitted faster using these needles. I wish there was a fourth needle however. I prefer to leave the instep stitches on one separate needle when I'm knitting the gusset decreases. If I start at the back of the heel and knit to the point where I need to decrease, I would have to have a marker there to remind me and then knit half of the instep and then go to the second needle and knit to a second marker where I do a SSK decrease and then knit to the back center of the heel where my round begins. This may not make sense to you, but it is so much easier to do the gusset decreases with all your sts on 3 needles instead of 2 needles. I will buy a second set of these needles to use for sock knitting. I also knit many chemo hats and I currently use DPNs for the decreases around the crown of the hat. I doubt that I will use these needles for that purpose. The needles are expensive; however, they are slick which is tricky with tiny sock yarn for the first 3-4 rows. After that, I don't have any problems with sts falling off the needles like some folks say. I think I will like these needles better when I get a second set to use so I'll have 4 needles when doing the gussets of my socks. I have many Addi needles and I love them. I do like the fact that there is a blunt end as well as a rocket point on the other end of these needles. That comes in handle when knitting tiny sock yarn.I do not have any trouble using DPNs, and because I don't have issues, these seem to be fine. I like to learn new things and try new tools, so if you're like me, buy a set of these and give them a try. If you hate DPNs, you may love these, but I'm here to tell you that you will still have a bit of a learning curve dealing with the points of the needle that you are not using.If you don't like fiddling with 40" cables using the magic loop or two-at-a-time socks, you will love these needles. I think most folks don't spend enough time trying something new. It takes a while to get comfortable with anything new, so give these a shot. I think you'll like them as much as I do.

These a wonderful purchase for those, like myself are wanting to learn to knit with DPN’s.. I made a beautiful pair of socks and really excited to try cuff down next. Will definitely be purchasing another set soon in a 4 mm for socks knit with worsted and DK weight. Love these!
