NEW Addi Flexi-Flips XL

addi flexiflips BLOG

Addi FlexiFlips XL & Regular

Addi has just come out with new sizes of the super popular Addi Flexi-Flip needles. The XL sizes are 2 inches longer than the originals, and they come in larger sizes, some that weren’t available before (up to 8mm/US11). I took a closer look and did a little compare-and-contrast exercise below

What are Addi Flexi-Flips?

Addi Flexi-Flips are a different kind of knitting needle, a hybrid between a double pointed needle and a circular needle. They are designed to make knitting in the round on double pointed needles faster, easier, and ENJOYABLE. They consist of two needle tips joined in the centre by a a flexible cable. Instead of juggling 4 or 5 double pointed needles at time, Flexi-Flips work with 3. Stitches are distributed over two needles, and then you knit with the third – resulting in only two needle changes per row. This also means a reduced chance of accidentally making ‘ladders’ in your knitting. Another great feature is the needles’ dual-tip design: each needle has a pointier Addi Rocket tip and a more blunt Addi Turbo tip. You will always have the right needle, when you need it. Addi Flexi-Flips are made for knitting in the round, and they’re great for everything from socks, cuffs, toys, hats, neck-warmers, leg-warmers, tea cozies – if it’s round and a smaller circumference, these needles will do it.

All the needles and cords in these sets are interchangeable with all of their other needles and cors, as well as those made by Knit Picks.

NEW Louet/Kollage Interchangeable Needle Sets

We just got the new Louet/Kollage Interchangeable Needle Sets and they are LOVELY! I’m seriously feeling extremely enthusiastic and looking forward to see what they make next.  Please note, these needles are SQUARE shaped, which many people find extremely comfortable (some find them easier to use, I’ve always found them enjoyable). Hopefully an interchangeable round needle set will be forthcoming too?

Anyway, these are the things I love about the Louet/Kollage Interchangeable Needle Set:

  • The needles are Beautiful. They’re smooth, elegant, a gorgeous medium grey aluminum.
  • The size markings are ETCHED in the needle, so they won’t be going anywhere.
  • The cables/cords are extremely pliable.
  • The needles can rotate once they are connected to the cables.
  • The join is quite smooth (at least on the ones I tried)
  • The case for the FULL set is GREAT! It’s sturdy and extremely well made. It has space for a second set of needles (presumably for when they come out with a set of shorter tips?), as well as two large clear pouches for more cords (so you can see what you are looking for), and another zipper pouch on the outside of the case. The case along could easily retail for at least $50.
  • The case for the MINI set is lovely. It’s pretty, slim, well made, and easy to use.
  • The Youtube video (see below) on how to connect and disconnect them is clear and easy to follow.

I recommend watching this video before diving into your Louet/Kollage Interchangeable Needle Set, their system is kind-of novel.

 

Louet Kollage INterchangeable FULL COMBOLouet/Kollage FULL Interchangeable Knitting Needle Set

  • 11 tips: 2.75, 3, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 4, 4.5m, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 8 mm (US size 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10.5, 11)
  • 3 firm and 3 soft cords, (24″, 32″, 40″)
  • cable ends
  • interchangeable tool

Addi FlexiFlips

Cast-on to an effortless new method of knitting socks, cuffs, hats, and many of other projects which are worked in the round, with the addi® FlexiFlips. Made specifically for North America, these specially designed 21cm circulars (3.5″ tips with 1″ cord) rest comfortably in the hand, and act as flexible double pointed needles. Easy to use, stitches are simply distributed over two needles, and then knit with the third – resulting in only two needle changes per row.

Featuring the same dual-tip design as the popular addi® FlipStix, the FlexiFlips feature both an addi® Rocket tip and an addi Turbo® tip. You will always have the right needle, when you need it. Overly versatile, FlexiFlips also make great cable needles.

Chiaogoo 9″(23cm) Circular Needles

You’ve been asking for them (I think because of avideo tutorial), so I ordered 9″(23cm) circular needles, and they have finally arrived! Personally, I like a 12″, but some people have a hard time and need something smaller – sorry, couldn’t help myself!)
