How to Choose & Use ChiaoGoo Interchangeable Accessories | Fiberific Ep. 47

Great video as always. really helpful. I will have to order some of the adapters between sizes.
the new background looks good.

Ooo now I need more bits!😄 Great info as always.

Stepping down with the adapters is a great idea - and a $ saver, too! Always enjoy your videos - please keep them up.

i was watching and realized I was wondering how many Star Wars T shirts you have- do apologize very random! Love the new background. I knitted a shawl on my Chiaogoo fixed set and it was really a great experience- excellent quality needles.

Oh now I need to buy a set of these even more. I cant wait until my birthday

Thanks for the crash course. Do Chiaogoo make a tip stopper.... to put on your WIP before you stuff it into your project bag?

I'm watching while knitting socks with fibreific fairy floss explosion ... unfortunately not using Chiagoos though I only have one set of DPNS

Love the new background, Chantelle. Also love Chicago needles, I only have two fixed circulars at the moment but they are my favourites.

very interesting. I have just started making socks so all the different needles are interesting!

Absolutely love my chiaogoo interchangeable set! The rubber grip is on my wish list to make tightening a lot easier :)

Great video! I don't have the chiaogoo interchangeables yet, but for my interchangeable set, I always use a rubber band as a gripper. The heart is really cute, though!

oh how I want this set... hope I am gifted it soon. I fell bad buying myself....I have the hiya hiya set

Another fabulous video. Might need to consider purchasing some of the Chiaogoo interchangeable needles :-)

Great video! I'd love a set of these!

great demo with heaps of info.

I have just purchased a size 2 tip and a cable to try out the interchangeable. I have a regular circular from them and I love it. Hope I can say the same for the interchangeable. Thanks for all your videos :)

This is the mist informative podcast about Chiagoo sets. Thank you for saving me money now I don't have to buy endless cables as I buy bigger needles. Oh I wondered what the heart was for 😄

I know what I want for Mother's Day!!!!

Thanku for another great video about ChioaGoo interchangeable knitting needles and accessories.I enjoy watching your videos as I always learn something new.Kind regards Gabriele

Next time, please, demonstrate your gadgets; would be helpful to non-native speakers of English

Thank you so very much!! I have wanted to buy a set of one of these forever but it is confusing! This has helped very much!

Great video with great information

Where can I get them as living in Australia

Love this what helpful video for a new knitter. Thanks so much for the information

Really enjoyed, tfs

Just got my first sets of Chiaogoo Interchangeables, and quite frankly, I don't see that the keys do anything. There is nothing there for them to do. But, we'll see. I just can't wait to start making socks two at a time on them.

Just recently found out about these needles. These tip will help me to order everything I will probably need all at once. Thank you.

Hi, new subscriber. I'm shopping needle sets. The Chicagoo interchangeables are the ones "I think" that I want.

They haves the word "twist" on the sets now. Does that mean it allows the cords to exist as a couple other other higher end sets do? I'm not certain if I twist my needles when I knit but my work it constantly needing straightened. Turned. Is that naturally what happens o or am I twisting as I knit?

Also.not certain if I want bamboo or metal tips? Can you talk about why you chose bamboo please?
Thank you.
Thanks.

What size cable will I use to make a 24

I absolutely LOVE ChaiGoo needles... I always order the wonderful Red Lace... There just isn’t anything better..

Edited to add.., If you lose your tiny T pins, any good safety pin will work just as well...

Very good advice

Awesome❗clearly explained and illustrated. Thanks for sharing🌹 I'll customize then.

Thanks, Chantelle❗️I finally bought Chiago Goo Twist Red Lace Needle 5" Tip Set, Small, free shipping $120.46. I'll let you know when they come .... Thanks again for your review.

Great video, I've had the lace bug and now the bug bite from socks is my obsession. So I've been hearing so many good things about ChiaoGoo. You've made a believer out of me.


BTW, I've been troubled my whole life with not only moist hands but sometimes, they have literally dripped. I've finally found for me that it is a protein issue for me. Several years ago I had dreadful arthritis in my hands, had to stop knitting and crocheting completely. Really hurt my heart but my hands hurt more. I decided that since I was not able to take cow's milk early in my life, maybe that was it, the protein casein ... could it be? Well, yes it was.


My husband had Prostate Cancer and though at that time I did not eat much meat, we both gave up meat after his surgery plus he had to give up dairy. Meat and dairy protein has growth factor which makes cancer grow, but it also does the same to the rest of us. We went plant-based. We both got rid of asthma and hay fever allergies but also ... he lost 25 lbs and I've lost over 50 lbs. All without hunger. You do have to learn to cook differently.


But since menopause, I've melted with my hyperhidrosis so miserable there were days I just would not go out. Guess what, no more hyperhidrosis at all.


There are many plant-milk substitutes and they taste good and there are meat substitutes now also. I had no idea it would get rid of sweaty hands and feet. (LOL! Stopped weird sweating everywhere).


I don't get a lot of exercise as I just want to knit whenever I can, and I have found I can knit and walk. But I have lost all that weight without exercise. You are a beautiful person inside and out and I hope you may want to experiment with what you eat. The thing which really made the difference, I no longer use oil unless it is natural in the food. So avocados I can use in moderation like spreading an 1/8 on bread or toast, and eating green olives with pimento in a jar but no olive oil. Whole foods only and if I had had this information earlier in my life, how much I could have enjoyed life more. The food tastes good, you just have to adjust to it.


As both my mother and sister died of breast cancer, staying free of cancer is a great big plus as well as it is healthy for my brain. (Dad died of Alzheimer's disease as well as my maternal grandmother.) Best wishes to you.


Thank you for your great video.

I have the 5” Complete, 5” Mini and 4” Small + 9 US. I will be purchasing the Full Shorty Set. I have 6-8” cables for the 4”, and 2 of all the rest of the cables. When I get the Shorties, I will purchase duplicate cables.

To tighten the needles it's way better to hold the gum-heart straight on the metallic part! I did so as you and I broke my needle direktly at the beginning of the needle out of the metallic! Since then I allways hold my needle where the metall is. If I would have thought bevore I would have noticed that otherwise I screw the needle in the opposite direktion of the cable and that makes a thrill against needle and metal! That can never be good for the needle not for mine and not for anyone's. Please explain it to your viewers, I can't led them know, you're the star who can. Your video is great! All in all! So much information! I'm in between hiyahiya or chiaogoo and I think , more and mort, it should be chiaogoo! Thanks a lot! Happy Eastern to you and your family and be blessed!

Love your videos, I would love to be blessed with a set of ChiaoGoo needles, perhaps they would easy my tendonitis, I stopped knitting for a long time. But I am trying to use circular needles now. I read many wonderful reviews about them.

I have found that the rubber gripper comes in handy when removing the tips from the cables.

Thanks for your video. Very helpful ❤️

Fantastic videos! So informative... I’m going to get one smal set. But I’m considering between spin bamboo or the twist red lace. Is there any difference between their cables? Because the spin got the clear cables, while the twist git the red one.. please someone answer mee

Just bought mine. Not sure about small to big or big to small yet. Thanks for this video ❤️

I discovered today that my keys to tighten my Knitter's Pride interchangeable also tighten the full set I have of ChiaoGoo. What I like with that is that I can take a locking stitch marker and put it on my zipper pull for my full set and then I don't have to go hunting for the key T-pin. It works and I have loads of them. I still use my Knitter's Pride on occasion like if I get in a position where I use two circs as going Magic Loop with my ChiaGoo set is lacking long enough cables.... I intend to buy more. Got a check in, going to put it to some good use!

Love your video and presentation style. I too am a ChiaoGoo devotee 🤗🧶👍🏾

Great informative video. Great suggestions on how to save money by using connectors rather than buying new cables each time you Need one.

Great video. Thanks

I really like the suggestion of buying your cords for your most used sizes and use the adapter for sizing down. I have the full 2-15 set but many patterns I have done since getting it has been for the Smalls. I also plan on getting the shorties and minis so I will likely get both sets of adapters eventually. I am also going to get the Tunisian set which comes with the adapter since it only has one set of cables.

Love the adaptors to go up to larger size tips. Also the connectors to add on and make the cables longer. The heart shape rubber grip is included now in the set.

I love the little hearts and I agree you have to tighten those needles! Great job.
