This review is from: LIHAO Stainless Steel Circular Crochet Knitting Needles Set – 11 Sizes (Office Product)
These needles are the best thing I have come across. Now, I have just started to knit, so I have been on the search for a great set of needles. Look at the prices on Michaels.com, Joanns, etc etc. These needles are so cheap compared to them, and the quality is amazing. There are 11 sizes, so in the terms of circular knitting needles, this set is all you really need.

This review is from: LIHAO Stainless Steel Circular Crochet Knitting Needles Set – 11 Sizes (Office Product)
I have a set of interchangeable circular needles but the problems there are twofold: (1) you only get one cable so you can’t have multiple projects going at once and (2) sometimes the cable comes detached from the needle if I haven’t put it together well. This set solves those problems.
These are easy to use with acrylic yarn (what I used to for a test). They are each 31.5 inches long (that is measuring from tip to tip). The cables are securely attached to the needles and it is easy to slip stitches from the needle to the cable and back again. Metal needles are particularly good for people like me, who knit pretty tight stitches (the stitches slide off more easily than with bamboo needles). I do note that the points of these needles are somewhat blunt (I suppose you’re less likely to injure yourself that way).
Here is a size chart (please be aware that these are labeled with UK sizes so I have put US equivalents in the chart as well — please note the equivalent for #16 is a little iffy and different charts I found had different information).
6 (5.0 mm; US 8) 7 (4.5 mm; US 7) 8 (4.0 mm; US 6) 9 (3.75 mm; US 5) 10 (3.25 mm; US 3) 11 (3.0 mm) 12 (2.75 mm; US 2) 13 (2.25 mm; US 1) 14 (2.0 mm; US 0) 15 (1.75 mm; US 00) 16 (1.5 mm; US 000)
Each comes with a tapestry needle for finishing, weaving in loose ends, etc. I think this is a nice touch. This set would be particularly good for someone just starting out and looking to build a collection. The needles are on the smaller side so are probably not suitable for afghans and such. The #6 needle is about what you would want to use with worsted weight yarn.
