Just getting started in knitting and wondering if these would work for that or only for crochet? If not is there another set anyone would recommend?

These are for crochet only, but Amazon has some really good books on getting started with knitting, I would recommend that maybe you look into one of these. Since I do not knit, I would not know what needles to recommend. Good luck..

Hi, I bought them to try. Since I use Singer and Schmetz needles as well in my Janome, I would think they are standard

Hello David. They could be for either gender; however, I purchased them to hold my crochet needles. I will say that luckily they were inexpensive, because that's exactly what these are - cheap. I wouldn't buy additional sets.

They worked for me. I used them to color my brows then pluck the uncolored area. There are several different shapes to fit. My brows are kinda "flat so only 2 shapes worked well without winging it too much.I'm not very good at judging evenness so these helped me a lot.

Kerry, what did you decide on and how is it working out for you? I am just starting to work with paracord as a hobby and have tried a few different styles of basic scissors and utility cutters with unsatisfactory results. I haven't purchased anything specifically for paracord yet and what I've tried are cutting tools I already own, are sharp but maybe just not good for paracord.

I would recommend checking out the Project Library at www.emblibrary.com to learn how to machine embroider on these type towels. It can be done and mine have turned out fine. As someone below mentioned, I wouldn't recommend light stitches (open hand or machine embroidery) on these as the threads will get lost in the pile. A design with a higher stitch count will work perfectly. Enjoy!

I imagine these could work quite well for kids toys as long as you don't put anything heavy in them. The range of sizes is good. The largest is surprisingly large, the smallest is rather small, so I bet between the four it would fit the items you described. They nest when collapsed and take up little space when not in use. I quite like these but have never used them for toys. I'm currently using a couple for my crochet yarn stash.

I guess it would depend on what kind of finger picking you're doing. These are slightly heavier the normal light gauge, so maybe try something lighter. Really, though, it would just be personal preference. I do a bit of finger picking once in a while, and I don't have any issues with it. Just find a gauge that is comfortable for you, and have at it! :)

Good day. I have used these to make earings, necklaces. ..ect. I have hot glued them on hair bow's and they have been a good seller of mine. Hope this helped.

That I don't know, however there should be some videos about that on youtube. I would look there or at the website that is listed on the knitting machine box.

Yes!!! we used these for a Rainbow Loom party and they worked exactly like the others! All three of my children (2 girls aged 8 and 9, and my son aged 10) are enjoying this clever craft! Have fun and loom on!

HMMMMM..... I use these for just about every sewing/quilting job I have. BUT I'm using fabric, not satin cord or chain. You are concerned that they would crush the chain or cord? They should work great, but try w/ something not important first???

Hi Dolly. I think these towels would be ideal for embroidery. They are very similar to the type of towels my grandma embroideried on years ago. They washed up nicely and work well. Hope this helps! Shawn

I am not familiar with crocheting, I am sorry I could not answer your question

Only place these really work well is on sewing thread. I certainly don't store my embroidery bobbin thread in these, because you don't use embroidery thread in the bobbins anyway. These would work well on hand quilting threads too. But why on embroidery thread?

The tips are pointy enough to knit two together and do similar stitches, but not too pointy for pushing the tips with your fingers. I think they are just right. I love these needles and use them everyday!
