I love this set! I've been able to use the different needles .. switching to a larger size when the pattern calls for it .. without switching all my yarn over .. just continous knitting. The cables are strong .. and some people may say that the needles detatch themselves from the cables .. but I haven't had that problem (that's why they include a tightening key) I love the ability to use the cables and the "end stoppers" to keep my pieces separate (need to save some stitches for later)
