I love my Addi Turbos, and think you'll enjoy yours 40-inch ones very much. They are slick and slippery, so wool knits fast off of them, in my experience. Lace is tricky on Addis, but I've done eyelash and fun fur with great success. Enjoy!

I too love love my Addi Turbos because wool sweaters are knitted so much faster. You will like the smoothness of the knit. I also do lace on Addis but it really depends on the pattern. I often have to go to bamboo for lace.

Congratulations - you have made a wonderful investment.

I just recently got my first Addis and despite having a 9mm and a 10mm it was sort of nice. I think the sort of comes from the size rather than the Addis. I am rearing to try my second tank top with them.

I love my Addis but they're expensive so I'm slowly building my collection. I have a lot of 24" needles but that's because I do lots of things in the round for my daughter and that's about the right circular size for that. I do like 32" and 40" lengths best in knitting back and forth. I think you'll really enjoy them but try them yourself first and then see if you want to order more.

ONce you start on the addis' there is no turning back! There is no other! If I knit on bamboo (with the exception of DPN's for socks) my hands now ache. I'm sure they are pining for the addis! I have most of mine in 24 inch, and that seems to cover most of my needs! I have....more than I'd like to admit! I have also tried other metal needles, that are knock offs of addis and they stink. Pay the money. BUild them up! You are worth it! :)

I purchased my first pair of additurbos in Feb. They are wonderful! I have since purchased about 10 more and plan to work on a complete set. It was well worth the expense to learn how to do socks on 2 circs. I like to have a sock to work on at boring meetings and the circ allow me to throw them in my bag without worrying that they will slip off the needles...Knitting just goes so much faster. The joins are perfect. Great choice in needles! You will love them!
