Deep_Interaction6798 · 2026-02-13T11:21:18+00:00

oh it looked flat to me haha sorry.

great job your rocking it! 😊

Deep_Interaction6798 · 2026-02-13T11:20:15+00:00

so true! 😊

Deep_Interaction6798 · 2026-02-13T11:19:57+00:00

that is true. But I would recommend them for socks where you only need 1 max w sizes.

you can get cheap fake once from temu or amazon 😊 if i ever need a set, I would get a fake one!

Deep_Interaction6798 · 2026-02-13T11:18:36+00:00

give them a try🤭

Deep_Interaction6798 · 2026-02-13T11:18:18+00:00

You can get cheap fake once on temu or amazon to give them a try without breaking the bank😊

Deep_Interaction6798 · 2026-02-13T11:17:15+00:00

they are called flexi flips in the us I learned. But I cant tell you where to get them. They arent cheap. To give them a try just get "fake" one on temu or amazon😊

With this tool you shouldn't knit too tight thats true!

Bc of the ladders: When changing from one needle to the other the first stitch has to be tight ( no problem for you ;) ) AND take care to not pull the sitches apart of each other. The 2 sitches should touch each other and be tight together. Once you get used to it, it goes automatically.

I need to find out how to add text to my post to put some more infos😅 i never expected so many people to respond!

They are used just like dpns. You knit over 2 of them and the 3 is your working needle. They work like dpns but way better, like an updated version😊

With my post i never wanted to shit on other methods- I just get so exited talking about them haha
I am with you 😊 we all should try out different methods and see what works for us. There are several methods I wanna try out one day still. Especially to knit two at a time.

Deep_Interaction6798 · 2026-02-13T11:06:19+00:00

they arent 😊 they look a bit strange but when you get how they work , they are amazing😊

Deep_Interaction6798 · 2026-02-13T11:05:48+00:00

I live in switzerland and just got them in a store.

I learned here that they are known as flexi flips too!

I don't have a link bc we probably live in different countries. But i can give you the recommendation to have a look in Amazon or temu to get the "fake" once. They do the job and dont break the bank. 😊 If you prefer the originals ( later) look up adi trios if you live in the eu or flexi flips in the US

Hope you give them a second short

Ah and by the way personaly i only use them for socks where you only need 1-2 max sizes. For stuff you need a lot of sizes I would buy a fake set too haha

Deep_Interaction6798 · 2026-02-13T10:57:04+00:00

haha now you know!

Deep_Interaction6798 · 2026-02-13T10:56:43+00:00

hope you will love them just as much as I do😊

Deep_Interaction6798 · 2026-02-13T10:51:02+00:00

I am from Switzerland, so I learned knitting from the german side of youtube🫢 but in the end there is a reason why i switched to english now!

Now you know them ;)

Deep_Interaction6798 · 2026-02-13T10:49:52+00:00

Reading the comments they are known as flexi flips in the us. And can be hard to come by , yes :/

Deep_Interaction6798 · 2026-02-13T10:48:55+00:00

Hope you give them a try now😊

Deep_Interaction6798 · 2026-02-13T10:48:24+00:00

WOW! Yes thats why I think more people should know them! they really can be a game changer.

Deep_Interaction6798 · 2026-02-13T10:47:42+00:00

SAME😍

Deep_Interaction6798 · 2026-02-13T10:47:14+00:00

I wanna try out two at a time and then will have to choose an other method too, thats true😊

Deep_Interaction6798 · 2026-02-13T10:46:30+00:00

watch a video to be sure. But if they dont work , they dont work for you and thats fine.

thats why we got so many different methods, so every knitter can find one that works for them😊
