The unique Denise locking connection:

Denise needles lock securely together with a quarter turn. With a secure lock, parts stay together while knitting or crocheting. When you’re ready to disconnect, another quarter turn means you can change parts easily.

Knitting with one circular needle:

How to knit in the round using one circular needle.

Knitting with two circular needles:

A great way to knit in the round on a small scale which can be used anywhere double-pointed needles are called for.

Condo Knitting:

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, if you knit tightly (or just want to speed up your knitting), knit with ease in the round by replacing the left hand needle head with one that’s a size or two smaller than the gauge needle. Your stitches will slide easily off the left hand needle and your gauge will be unaffected because it is entirely determined by the needle that you’re knitting on to. If you purl more loosely than you knit, also called rowing out, you can even your stockinette tension with a smaller needle head for purling.
