Tiffany, if you rub your needles with wax paper,it helps to put a finish back on them, take care Melissa.😊
This is making me want to buy needles I don’t need 😭
The band is so you can use the card packaging to store the fixed circulars! It should have the directions on the packet 😊
I live in Japan close to where they make these needles 😊 The kohshitsu ones go through some extra processing to make them stronger and smoother, which is quite noticable, but the shirotake ones are still great quality 🤗 However, my dog chewed up a couple shirotake needles 😱 so I'm using the kohshitsu now just in case 😅
I live in Taiwan and these are the main needles carried in all the LYS - love love love them. i had no idea they were so popular in Europe and North America.
These look so pretty! Bamboo is amazing! Knitting needles are like harrypotter wands everyone has there own type and elements! I've always thought bamboo is the most feminine of knitting woods. 💕
I love that comparison 😂❤
I’m so glad you did a review. I’ve been starting to collect Seeknit. First the aesthetic is just beautiful. I corresponded with Seeknits directly in Japan through Etsy to find a Canadian distributor. They were wonderful and I seriously would love to visit them in person one day. If your local shop orders through Jefferson’s they can order it in for you! I have a set of DPNs coming in. I started with the 9 inch circulars for socks and then got a small size of interchangeables for my hat knitting. Since I’ve been using the hat sized ones I’ve ordered more cords and stoppers and a few more larger tips. I think this is going to be my lifetime knitting set. And as someone mentioned above the hair elastic is for holding the packaging shut for storage.
So glad you mentioned the cord joint and lump issue. I thought I was the only one since the available yt. Video reviews and reviews I read no one mentioned it. Also thought it was the yarn I used causing that issue. Still have to try with another yarn choice and see if I want to keep my set or destash it because I hated that part so much. 😂 thanks for the review.
I've been using these for a while I really like them!! For the 5mm one, I use a 4.5mm on the left so the stitches glide more easily
My absolute favorite are the addi rocket squares. I only have that set and a lantern moon set and I prefer the metal ones but mostly because it’s pointier and I like the grooves for my stitches
I just bought these as well. Seeknit recommends drying them after use and renewing the luster/smoothness with wax (the example they give is soy candle wax). I plan on treating mine the same way I treat bamboo kitchen equipment (dry to prevent warping, maintain with wax or oil).
Edit: and I also wish I'd bought the koshitsu 🙃
I bought the kohshitsu interchangeable set and was worried as I’ve snapped wooden needles in my early knitting days, but so far no warping and I haven’t had an issue even though I’ve even used the tiny 2mm ones. I was very careful at first, but I’ve had them for a year now and they’re excellent.
Thank you for the great review ! My current set of interchangeables do need to be screwed up quite tighly for them not to unscrew while I knit and it's definitely annoying. They're also metal which I don't like as much as bamboo so I'm definitely keeping those in mind !
If you like Lykke needles and want to try more metal options then the copper ones are really nice, they also have swivel cords. I really enjoy them.
A potential solution when it comes to tightening the interchangeables what don’t have the pin hole, you can get little grippy pads like you might use for opening a jar that help you tighten them more!
Thank you so much for your video, Tiffany! Always nice to listen about your knitting projects ☺️
Espace Tricot in Montreal carries the SeeKnit needles.
I also LOVE seeknit needles. I have the shiroke, and the gold base is actually made of brass, so one thing I noticed is that it creates a slight patina with use, and it also creates the smallest green oxidization at the base of the wood where it meets the brass, but it’s hardly noticeable. I don’t think it would be as noticeable with the darker Koshitsu.
Guess I gotta get the koshitsu 😏
@@typicalbliss 😂😂
These are needles I didn’t know I needed in my life 😂
After seeing your video, both my daughter and I bought ourselves a complete set from the link you mentioned. Then, I saw that they sell them at Espace Tricot in Montreal. Just letting you know in case you need extra cords, stoppers, dpns etc! 🥰❤️
!! OMG !! thank you, I had no idea
I bought mine from Spinnacle Yarns. They are based in BC and they are an awesome tiny yarn shop.
I have Seeknit small circular needles for socks which is 2.25mm (I got the cheaper version). I bought it from Needles and Wool too not knowing the quality of the needles at the time. All I know I shouldn’t bring my metal needles on the plane. It was my most expensive sock needles but I was impressed with the quality. No snag especially I am a tight knitter. After holiday, I ordered some other sizes. Totally recommend small circular sock needles from seeknit and I always buy from Needles and Wools.
This was a good watch, thanks
espace tricot has an english website bc theyre based in montreal and i believe they have the kinki amibari sets from see knits :)
I wish I was good at knitting so I can buy ALL the cute things but I can’t even do one row without dropping a stitch. I don’t know how to pick it back up. 🫣 so I’ve never finished a project. Not even a simple scarf LOL
But side note: your description of your beautiful sweater is spot on! It’s sooooo pretty.
Clover needles are also swivel. The fixed ans interchangeable!!!
Be aware, that seeknit it not recommended for magicloop, since the wire can break from being bend too many times
you have to try the carry c needles!! theyre not like any bamboo needles ive ever tried. and ive tried seeknit. i prefer the carry c because the cords fit into all the needle sizes
I love the carry c as well.
Those M numbers for the interchangeable connectors are standard Metric thread callouts. They refer to the outer (major) diameter of the thread (disambiguation: threaded fastener, not fabric thread), so M4 would be a 4mm major diameter of the thread. The pitch of the thread (distance between sequential threads) is typically standardized for a given diameter. M0.8 vs M2 vs M4 (I think those were the sizes you mentioned) should be pretty easy to tell apart visually; they're respectively twice the size of the previous size.
Please, tell us what lipstick you are wearing, you look so so good!
First btw u are
literally my inspiration 🤗
I have a small set and a medium set. I call which cord is which because the small cord is significantly thinner than the medium cords. I did get mine from their own Etsy store, it only took three days from Japan to Philippines.
Love your sweater! Where can we find the pattern, please?
Excuse me, I just really need to know which lipstick you are wearing. It's so gorgeous!
Can you please do a knit along with the petite knits hat you did in the last video? It seems so big to me. Thank you ❤
Where did you get your necklaces from? They look so good on you!
Ana Luisa!
I imagine because of the swivel cord they’ll be less likely for the needle to unscrew during work.. I hope 😂 they are very pretty tho.
Ps. Have you heard of/watched Kutovakika?
Does anybody know if the needles are squeaky? I'm currently using chiagoo bamboo needles which also have a plastic wire and the joint is quite squeaky which bothers me abit
They do not. I have both Chiaogoo metal and bamboo sets - I love the metal set; the bamboo is good but I wanted to try something else out because it can be a tad too sharp. Once I tried Seeknit, it was a game changer. It's like have wooden needles buttery smooth enough to rival some metal needles.Of course, metal and wood are different, but they feel great. I have never had an issue with squeaking from the Seeknit needles. I tend to use my red lace cable when using my CG needles. Try Seeknit - you will not be disappointed. If anything, buy the medium set which gives you the popular sizes used for sweater knitting.
Now I want seeknit needles 😍 do you pay duties for needles/yarn you buy internationally? (I'm also in Canada)
I didn't have to pay anything! but I spent around $100 cad
lets gooo
I just bought the new Chiaogoo swivel cords and they work awesome with their bamboo needles. I wish they came in wood. Does anyone have a company recommendation that carries a wood set with a swivel cable? She mentions Lykke needles. Are they worth I?
Lantern moon needles are my absolute favorite needles! They’re ebony wood & they’re smooth & beautiful & the cords are like chiaogoos red cord with the nylon coating but they swivel! They’re my most used needles along with my chiaogoo 🥰
@@knitwit2871 Thanks for the source. I’ll check them out.
Lantern moon swivel cords work with Lykke needles as well. Thats my fav combo
@@raesirotic7857 yes they do I use them with all my lykke needles!
@@raesirotic7857 Oh, that’s a great tip. I think I’ll buy some single interchangeables and try the different combos.
I have I have 8 sets of needles I don’t need these … but I want them 😭😂
Ummm, speak for yourself. :😂😂😂 Just get the small set - US4-8. Great price and the needles are beautiful.
your next husband LOL!
