<h3><strong>Condo needles</strong></h3>
<p>Create interesting texture in your knitting by using two vastly different needle sizes (#7 and #15, for example) on opposite ends of a circular needle, or on two different straight needles. Or, if you knit tightly (or just want to speed up your knitting), knit with ease (and speed!) by replacing the left hand needle head with one that’s a size or two smaller than the right hand needle head. Your stitches will slide easily off the left hand needle and your gauge will be unaffected because it is entirely determined by the right hand needle that you’re knitting on to. Knit easy and quick—knit happy! <a href="/blogs/tips-tricks-patterns">Click here</a> to see more unique uses for <em>Denise</em> needles.</p>
<h3><strong>Stitch holders</strong></h3>
<p>Every cord in each kit easily becomes a stitch holder. There’s no need to move your knitting to a different stitch holder when you’re knitting with <em>Denise</em>. Leave your knitting in place. Simply detach the Interchangeable Needle head and replace it with one of the four end buttons included in each kit. Your knitting is held safely and securely in place.</p>
<h3><strong>Comfortable to use</strong></h3>
<p><em>No more tired wrists or knocking needle ends.</em></p>
<ul>
<li>Flexible cords mean you always keep the weight of even the largest projects in your lap, not bunched up heavily on your needle.</li>
<li>Flexible cords also mean you can knit comfortably in seats with arms, or in tight quarters such as on an airplane.</li>
<li>For knitters with hand or wrist problems, a straightened paperclip can be inserted through the cord tips and used as a lever to gently and easily lock or unlock knitting parts with next to no gripping pressure required.</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Neat and orderly</strong></h3>
<p><em>It’s all there when you need it.</em></p>
<ul>
<li>The compact, sturdy case (7” by 8 ½”) holds all the needles, cords, extenders and buttons securely in one place.</li>
<li>Needles and parts always have a home to return to, so no more tangle of needles or searching for lost stitch holders.</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Innovative connection, flexible and durable</strong></h3>
<p><em>A patented, unique, smooth and durable connection</em></p>
<ul>
<li>Denise Interchangeable Needles and parts easily and securely “lock” into place by twisting ¼ turn.</li>
<li>Other companies’ connections screw together, and since a screw works by turning, the natural turning of knitting can unscrew the connection.</li>
<li>Denise knitters commonly report using kits that are 15-20 years old and still going strong!</li>

<li>Some knitting needles are not allowed through airport security.</li>
<li>Denise needle heads are shorter than a pen and made of resin.</li>
