addi Turbo SOCK ROCKETS Circular Knitting Needles by SKACEL 40" Size 2

I really love this needle for trying out 2 at a time socks, but after 3 pairs the coating on the tips seems to have worn off. I'm not sure if it will impact the usability of the needles but I'll keep using them and update if it becomes a problem. I decided to order 2 more of these so I can have multiple socks going at once!

Those are really good tools for lnitting

I picked these up after struggling with some other needles and the difference was life altering! The thing I needed was a smooth join. The join of the cable to the needle is so smooth you almost can't feel it running your finger across it. For socks just get some of these, they will rock your socks off!

I am really impressed with the smoothness and quality of the Addi needles I have gotten. This is no exception. The needles are smooth, the transition between cable and needle is delightful. My only reservation is when I use my needle gauges, both Susan Bates and Hya-Hya, the needles do not gauge at the advertised #2. Susan Bates shows it larger than 2 and lose in 3. The Hya-Hya has half sizes and gauges both of my #2 Addis at US 2.5. I also have their lace tips in this size. Both gauge at US 2.5 or 2.75mm.

received the wrong needles. wanted the blue cord but got the metal stiff cord. not what I wanted. then the label for the returned turned out to be gigantic bigger that a normal page. So now I have to have a big bag to return the item. Not good

I learned to knit socks about 2 years ago using the DPNs but wanted to be able to knit from the toe up on a circular needle. Tried another brand and they were ok but when I heard about Addi turbo Sock Rockets, just had to try them. May never knit socks on any other needle or any other way than the magic loop.Amazingly smooth join and comfortable to hold. Hope to soon be able to knit two socks at a time. This needle will let me do it.

I changed from using bamboo dpns to these. Wow, what a difference. The bamboo dpns were great for when I need grip in my needles but these are super for when you have everything established and are ready to fly through your knitting. The points are perfect. Not too sharp, not too round. Slick so stitches slide easily. Love, love these.

I love addi turbos but the brass needles just were not slick enough to move the stitches smoothly and quickly when working on socks in stockinette. I was definitely satisfied when I tried sock rockets. The are pretty much the same as addi turbo lace, but with nickel needles instead of the brass ones. I will be buying more to build a collection of these for sure.

Addi as always a good quality needle, whether used for knitting improved magic loop in the round or replacing and used as straights for knitters like me who need the weight taking off their hands and arms.
