  1. Hi there, I am using a second set of Knitters Pride Nova Platina Deluxe interchangeable circular needles both purchased from Amazon. I received the second set as I had trouble with yarn catching and complained to Amazon. Both sets have plastic bulges at ends of cords attaching to the metal. If the joins are supposed to be smooth these are definately not, and wondered is this a flaw. I am about to send both sets back. Regards,

    • Hi Fran. That’s not good to hear. Yes, it sounds like a flaw with the manufacturing. I hope you got replacements sorted as they are usually a good set of metal interchangeables. Cheers Jodie

  2. Hi Jodie.
    I am looking for knitting needles that have the long plastic tube as I would like to make a large blanket. ( not looking for circular needles)

    I would like knitting needles similar to the crochet needles with the long plastic tube with a knot at the end.

    Do you know where I could purchase them. Please let me know.

    Thank you.
