| Does anyone have any comments about Knit Picks interchangeable needles? How do they compare to Addi? |

| I have both. I like them equally. The cable on the KnitPicks Options is as soft/flexible (maybe even MORE soft/flexible) as the Addis. And a lot less expensive. |

| I don't have any Addi Turbos to compare by, but I do have the knit picks needle set. I really like them a lot. They are smooth and have a nice point to them. Plus they are pretty to look at! The cables are great, no coiling at all. Rebecca |

| Anyone know how long the actual needle is on the Knit Picks? |

| The tip that screws into the cable is 3.5". The piece that the tip screws into is another 1". 4.5" once it's assembled and that is a good length, IMO. |

| I can't use metal needles because it aggravates the arthritis or rheumatism that's starting to make itself known in my hands, so I got the KP Harmony woods interchangables and I love them. They are super-slick for woods, but light and warm in my hands. The joins are smooth and snag-free and I like the flexible cables. Another great thing about KP is that they have awesome customer service so if you ever do have a problem, be sure to let them know because they will replace the faulty needle free of charge. Annie |

| I've noticed that if you buy the interchangeable Addi or Knit Picks, there is no 16" cable. Isn't that a disadvantage? |

| My Knit Picks set came with two 16" cables and two 24". |
