Hoping for a little advice...

[lullabymoon]

I was hoping for a little advice about interchangeable circular needle sets as I'm looking to buy but I'm pretty much a novice. I mean I know how they work but I have no idea what constitutes a good connection or the like.

What I'm looking for is a bamboo set, in mm, that's reasonably priced (in the UK) and that perhaps I can add to over time. Does any one have any recommendations or makes to avoid, or any advice in what I should be looking out for?

Thanks in advance.

labellementeuse says down thread that KnitPick sell over seas under the name KnitPro which I've been considering so I'll bear that in mind, thank you!

The KnitPicks/KnitPro needles are available from several places in the UK: Get Knitted in Bristol has them, and I think IKnit in London has some. So - I think, but I don't buy interchangeables! - do Nest. Probably Loop, as well.

Also, if you can get to something like the Knitting and Stitching Show (Alexandra Palace, London, 11-14 October - also 1st to 4th November, RDS, Dublin and 22nd to 25th November, HIC, Harrogate) then you may find more companies selling different sorts of needles. You'd be able to try them and ask in person then.

Thanks!

Yeah, I think that's going to be the best idea.
