ChiaoGoo Red Lace Circular 24 inch (60cm) Stainless Steel Knitting Needle Size US 8 (5mm) 7024-8

Excellent price! Fits my needs and delivered on Sunday!

Yes, I can see why people buy these. The tips are nicely tapered and the joint is so smooth. With my local store needles, the yarn snags a bit on the joint, but not with these!

These have become my favorite needles. The red cable does not kink or twist. I even do flat knitting using these needles because they are so comfortable to use.

One of the needles is missing from the cord.

Amazing! This is my new favorite set of needles. The cord is super flexible but is sturdy enough not to get crimped if you dont store it correctly, and the tips are smooth enough to work with tight knitting, but even loose knitting doesnt slip off too easily.

Sturdy, yarn flows so easily. Will definitely buy more sizes!

Smooth metal and cable join on these circular needles. Makes for great, fast knitting! I also like that the cable has a metal center - makes me feel like Im less likely to break the cable if I wrench them a bit. Great pricing and good knitting so far. Well have to see how they hold up in the future! Great product.

I needed a size 1 circular needle for a baby outfit I was knitting so I went online and saw the ChiaoGoo needles, along with many other brands. I chose the ChialGoo because of the red lace cord. I have them in a larger size and have loved the flexibility of that cord. The new needles arrived quickly and I was off and knitting. They are sharp, but not stabby sharp, so they picked up the fine weight yarn easily. The join is completely smooth so there is no snagging. The cord is thin and very flexible, it does not kink up or twist up. I am very pleased with my purchase, and will buy them again in the future.

So I was a bit hesitant about these because of all the reviews describing them as really sharp. They are a bit on the pointier side, but I really, really love them. They are quite comfy in my hands. They arent as slippery as one of my cheaper steel needles (so the knits dont slide right off as theyve done countless times with those other needles), the joins with the circular part is smooth and nothing gets caught (unlike with the bamboo circular needles I have), and they are very light to boot. I find I am much faster with these than with any other needles, and my hand dont cramp up (probably cause I dont need to hold them so tightly).
