Just ordered my Options!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I went and did it I bought the KP Options today!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I just have to do the waiting game.
This coming weekend I want to go and get the clogs pattern at my lys. I have had the yarn for awhile. Just have to get the courage up to make them.
I figure that I do mostly socks that with a little patence (sp) I should be able to do them. Besides there is enough help here . You guys are great on the helping end of knitting.
Hope not to many got snowed in with this crazy weather. We got just a dusting of snow in my part of the woods in Virginia,after a full day of down pouring rain.
Everyone have a great weekend and keep knitting.

Teri

That's great, I think you'll like the Options, especially if you like addi-turbos.

That's cool!!

Mmmmmm...
I've been thinking about Options and Denise lately.
Since I am really beginner knitter, I'm not sure which one to
purchase.

Anyway, I'm glad you made your purchase

Let us know how you like it.

Yes I will let you know about the options and how they work. Which I know will be great. I do have the Denise set and I like them a lot. I think that both have there place.

Options are wonderful!!! They're even faster than Addis and they're cheaper. Just be sure to check them carefully when you get them. Sometimes there are problems with the needle connections or you may get 2 of one size. Luckily they have an amazing customer service and they will replace anything sight-unseen. When I had a problem they offered to ship a replacement priority free of charge.

They really are great, but I second the suggestion to check them carefully. In my set I got 2 pairs of size 10.5 and no size 10.

Their service is great and they told me to just keep the extra 10.5 and sent me the 10s that I was missing.

They are GREAT. But, like everybody else said, you might want to check the tips and cords. You're gonna love them!

I know I am going to like them. I had bought the size 3 just to see how they would work. To check out the cable. I loved the one so I know the rest is going to be heaven. Yes I do intend to check them as soon as I get them. Now it is just the wait, funny how it is once you order them or anything for that matter it just seems forever to come. So I will let everyone know when they come in and see if I have anything wrong with them.

I just received my Options, but the 9's and 10's don't measure quite right in my Boye needle gague. The 9's don't fit the hole; neither do the 10's. Do you think it really makes that much of a difference?

Has anyone else had this problem and what do I do?

This has happened to me with those two needles. They don't quite fit the Boye gauge. This hasn't been a problem for me though.
