Using these knitting needle sets is a breeze. First, pick the right set for your project. If you're making a small item, the DPN sets like Compassion or Gracious might be a good choice. For larger projects, go for the circular needle sets. When using the cables, just thread them through the tips and you're ready to start knitting. Remember, the cables are marked at 1 - inch increments, so you can easily measure your work. When you're done knitting, store the needles in a dry place. Avoid bending the cables too much to keep them in good shape. If the needles get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a clean, dry cloth. Also, be careful with the small accessories like stitch markers and end caps, as they can be easy to lose. And don't worry if your package comes in a KnitPro label now, it's just a brand change.
