 Interchangeable needles are....

Umm, they never interested me. Never had any full set, but I never had the urge/wish/desire to get one.

I can't really say why. Maybe because i am not the most orderly person on the earth, i would most certanly misplace one or more sets of tips... also I have so many ongoing UFO-s I would probably need to buy their cables wholesale, and even then, I would hate taking of the tips from one and have to screw on the other. Come to think of it, I should probably buy fixed cables needles wholesale in certain sizes. If I would  put all the 3-3,5 mm circulars I have in the house, it would be a sizeable heap. Besides, i mostly use the 2-4 mm range, and those sets start from 3,5 mm... 

Same goes for dpn sets. I would much rather have five sets of 2,25 (my favorite size to use for "standard" sockyarn), than one set of 2,5 -4 mm... though, probably those are the sizes I do actually use. Well, I think I do have 5 sets of 2,25 mm needles.

Disclaimer: as with all other strong opinions of mine, there is absolutely nothing wrong with someone doing/thinking/feeling the opposite way or differently. I do not care, if someone uses dosens of stitchmarkers, or zippers in their knitting, or interchangeable needles. Absolutely nothing wrong. This is just old me, set in my ways.
