It’s been a while since I’ve posted here and even longer since I’ve actively knitted anything. Now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve completed one knitting project since the end of 2021. My father became ill in October 2021, and my mother in February 2022; they both were gone by August 2022.
I purchased the ChiaoGoo Twist Red Lace 5-inch Interchangeable Circular Knitting Needle Set a few weeks ago.
I have the Hiya Hiya complete interchangeable knitting needle set; however, after renovating my room, I placed them in a box I could not locate. Of course, I found that box after placing my order for Chiagoo’s. The above picture is a recycled photo. Instead of canceling the Chiagoo order, I kept them since I saw, from YouTube videos, that the join where you connect the cable to the knitting needles is seamless. I would get the occasional snag from my Hiya Hiya interchangeable knitting needles, and although I love my Hiya Hiya’s, getting that snag as the yarn passes over the join can get annoying.
Here’s what I’m currently working on a knitted hat. It’s a simple project that I can quickly whip up. I’m making this super long; however, I’ll start knitting some amigurumi for my daughter and nephew once I’m finished knitting this hat. I must say that I love ChiaGoo! Thus far, there are no snags at the join, and the red cables have no memory, which means they don’t retain a shape. Perfect! I’ve had my Hiya Hiya set for many years and have enjoyed them; however, the ChiaGoo’s might be getting more knitting projects.
