Interchangeable knitting needle sets are extremely beneficial for those who do a lot of knitting. These sets come with multiple sizes of needles and a few lengths of cords. You will have all of the standard sized knitting needles at your fingertips. These interchangeable sets are extremely popular in the knitting community among knitters who don't want to be constantly buying knitting needles.
These sets are straightforward and uncomplicated to use. All you need to do is twist together your needle and desired length of cord to get started. In sets like the Addi Clicks, the join will be very smooth and the needles will not come apart until you want them to. If you are starting a new pattern, look at the "Materials" section to see what size knitting needles your pattern calls for. If your pattern says that you need 16" #10.5 needles, it means that you need to take the U.S. size 10.5 needles from your set and twist them into the 16" cord.
When you sit down to start a new project, it is a very good habit to check the "gauge" of your knitting, especially if you are trying the project on a yarn not specified in the pattern. For any given project, the pattern will tell you how many stitches per inch you should be getting on a certain size needle. For example, a pattern may specify that you should be getting 4.5 stitches to the inch with your yarn.
In a perfect world, everyone would get 4.5 stitches to the inch when testing their gauge swatch. The truth is, some people knit with a tighter or looser tension than others. Because of this, interchangeable needle sets are a great resource: you can simply go up or down a needle size to get gauge! You don't even need to take your project off of your cord: you can just twist on new needles!
My favorite brand of interchangeable needles are the Addi Clicks. Addi is known throughout the knitting community as producing the highest quality knitting needles. I use my set of them all the time. Since I bought my set two years ago, the only needles I ever have to buy are very small and very large needles because all of the standard needles are in the set.
There are three different versions of the Addi Clicks. The classic nickel plated needle in the Addi collection is the Addi Turbo. The Addi Turbo Clicks are perfect for any projects, and make your knitting move along quickly due to the nickel composition. The Addi Natura set are made of bamboo, and are great for beginners and those who prefer to knit with bamboo. For those who knit a lot of lace, I recommend the Addi Lace Clicks. This is the newest set of needles, made of brass in smaller sizes for knitting detailed lace projects.
Purchasing a Click set is a great investment, as each combination in the set costs roughly $5.00. Buying those needles separately would be a huge investment, as they usually run $13.00 to $25.00 each. With an Addi Click Set, you're getting a great value and because of the quality of the needles, you're ensuring that the process of knitting your project is an enjoyable one.
