After doing some research on the net I decided to go for these interchangeables and have been slowly adding to my collection for the past 18 months. I used to prefer the long needles but arthritis in my hands and shoulders left me feeling stiff after having the weight of a garment to hold. I find using the Knit Pro circulars make a big difference to me and I can now knit for longer. I also prefer the feel of the wood to the plastic or metal needles I used to use.
I have not counted how many pairs of these superb pins I own. I have straight needles in all sizes & lengths, interchangeable circular needle tips, long & short, a crochet hook and cable needles. They are wonderful to knit with and so beautiful to look at. I have arthritis in my hands but have to say I have been pain free for a long time now even though I am knitting daily. KnitPro Symfonie get my vote every time.

I suffer with arthritis and this needle system takes a great strain off my wrists. I am telling all my knitty friends about these.
These points are fabulous to work with and make knitting such a pleasure I hate long needles love these
Yes I am glad I started using these as I do not like long knitting needles, also never liked old type cable needle but love these
Lovely needles to knit with. I am gradually adding to my collection. Fantastic service from Woolstack. My order arrived in New Zealand in less than 5 days!
The knitpro needles are a joy to use. Have been using them for over a year now, and would not want to go back to straight needles. I knit everything in the round, so no seams to sew up. (even sleeves). The only downside is that the needle size printed on the needles rubs off after a short time. So have had to label my needles in the storage bag supplied, to make sure I know which size is which, then check them with a needle sizer before use. I have been very happy with them and now have the whole set.
These were recommended and they are the best needles I have ever used. Excellent. I have recommended them to a local knitting group. Lightweight and practical.
I love knitting with these needles they are very smooth, light and the idea of switching them is an ingenious one. To be able to take a variety of projects with minimal needles away on holiday is going to be so easy. Also due to the length of the actual needles... no more poking through my project bags! Would like to know if these will be accepted through airports in hand luggage so I can still knit during long airport waits?!!! Woolstack have proved to be an efficient, price conscious retailer, well done for the prompt service.
I started off with the Symfonie interchangeable starter set and I'm gradually adding the extra size tips. These needles not only look good they are so comfortable to knit with. Smooth, light and quiet.
These beautiful Symfonie Wood Interchangeable Needle Tips from KNITPRO are ideal for anyone wishing to complement their existing collection of KNITPRO interchangeable circular needles
Of course the colour is what first catches your eye. But, the beauty is more than skin deep. The layers of laminated birch give the needles a strength that is missing in regular wooden needles.
The stability allows KnitPro to shape sharp points- particularly nice for lace knitting.
Being wood, the burnished surface has a slight grip so slick yarns like mohair and angora don't slip off at the wrong time. This quality also makes them an excellent choice for beginning knitters, who sometimes have trouble keeping stitches on the needles.
The tips are between approx 11.5cm and 13cm long (including metal base) depending on size.
They are designed for use with all KnitPro cables, except for the 40cm cable as this is designed specifically for KnitPro short tips. While the 40cm cable will attach to these tips, it will limit the angle you will be able to get between the tips to around 60 degrees.
