Reviews

Ameria on Ravelry did a wonderful review of Darn Pretty™ Needles:

And NikiDust did an equally impressive job illustrating our join:

Oh my word. They've arrived. They are amazing. Perfect velvety finish - the joins are imperceptible while knitting.

Even the alpaca lace weight slips over effortlessly. Yes I'm gushing - but Tom, you've done it - the perfect needles.

Tom,

The 5" interchangeables arrived and they are wonderful. Now I can't wait to get the 3.5" set I've already ordered because I don't want to knit with anything else. Your workmanship is absolutely topnotch. By the way the Hazelnut is beautiful, but the Rosewood is calling my name too. I might just have to treat myself to a second set one of these days.

Thanks so much,

Rosemary

Hi, Tom! LOVE love love the interchangeables.

Always,

Thanks Tom - LOVE the new set.

Dear Mr. Diak,

Two years ago I purchased a set of your 5" Rose dpns. They are the best wooden needles in my collection and I treasure them -- I've never had any splintering or chipping, the points are the perfect taper and sharpness, and they feel wonderful in the hand. Thank you so much for your beautiful work and for making such high-quality tools available to knitters!

Sincerely,

Sarah P

The best I have found yet! I really really love your needles.

I LOVE these needles! The finish is awesome, the points are perfect, and the cables are not stiff or unruly. Thanks so much- I'll be back for more of your wonderful needles.

Best,

Tom, I just wanted to let you know that I'm in heaven with the circs I got from you recently. Oh wow - the needles just glide through the yarn, and the joins are as smooth as I've tried. I'm once again totally spoiled by your craftsmanship!

I can't begin to tell you how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the ones I have. Amazingly wonderful. I now want all my needles to be these. Thank you so much!

...and your needles ARE superior! I have tried others that "look, feel and smell" the same, but when I knit, I can tell the difference!

I received my needles today and, Tom, I couldn't be happier! Not only are they what I pictured when I placed my first order -- but I started a scarf on the 8's and they are so smooth and lightweight that it is a joy to use them! You can be sure I'll be a repeat customer and I'll recommend you to others as well.

Be well and again, THANK YOU!!!!

Dear Tom, I received the needles yesterday, and I felt like crying--they are so lovely! And they will be perfect for my lace projects. Thanks so much!

Hi Tom!

I just received the needle set, and I have to tell you, I'm thrilled with them! I don't usually gush about knitting needles, but these are elegant, graceful and spare in design... just perfect. The needle case is also a pleasure- pretty, useful and neat, without any unnecessary frou-frou. Pleasant to

look at, graceful to use.

Well done!
