Hello all,
I am interested in purchasing a circular knitting needle set. I have looked at Knitpicks Options Knitting Needle Set and Denise Interchangeable Knitting Needles. Do you have any preference over the other and why.

I just purchased the Knit Picks option. While I considered both - I've heard some good things about Knit Pick's version. I'm hoping to receive mine in the mail today.

I have both sets. And love them both for different reasons lol, I know that doesn't help much. The knit picks go down to a size 4 but the denise have different size cords, where the options don't have as many options.
I have one set of knit picks circulars and a menagerie of other circular brands. The Knit Picks cord is by far the most flexible. This comes in handy for the magic loop technique.
I love the Denise set and prefer them b/c they really are easier to interchange (like tonka toys - click click) and they are not as slipper as metal. But that is my personal preference.
I am sure none of us are helping you!
But honestly they are both great sets, it really is just about what you are wanting/looking for in knitting.
Knit Pics - pointer tips, slicker to knit with harder to change (with a pin)
Denise Needles - Not as sharp of a point (but not like dull), plastic do yarn slides off but not as slick, very easy to change!
Let us know what you decide on! :o)
Thanks so much for your help. Well I went with Knit Picks Option Knitting Set. Can't wait to get my hooks... oops I mean needles a clicking...lol. Espcially since I've got the hang of continental knitting... its so much easier. Thanks again.
i have the denise set, which i like but may end up getting some knit pics circulars in smaller sizes, like they have 32 inch #2 and #3 and #4 needles for various projects that i have been looking at.
i hope you like your options!
I like and use them both. I do prefer the cables and joins on the Knit Picks Options though, they are softer and more flexible. The Denise needles are lighter weight. This probably isn't helping is it?? Sorry.

I actually did substitue my Denise set with KnitPicks (and other needles) for the smaller sizes too! :O)
