I delivered this completed baby blanket to the mom to be today. Just 2 weeks before the baby is due.

My only issue was with the chiaogoo knitting needles. The workmanship of the knitting needles was, not up to my standards. On one side the yarn kept getting stuck and would not slide like the knitting is supposed to. I had to stop and free the yarn every 30 or so stitches. I could not replace the knitting needles part way through the project because even though they are labeled the same size there can be a tiny variation in fractions to small for my eyes to see that can change the size of the knitting gauge. I could not visually see where it was snagging. This slowed down my knitting. Now that they are used I doubt that they can be returned or replaced. Even though they are more expensive and do not have a curl free cord, I like workmanship on my Addi turbos and Lykke knitting needles better. I have never had this problem with any Addi turbo or Lykke Knitting needles. I doubt that I will buy chiaogoo knitting needles again.
I'm sorry to hear that you had problems with your Chiagoo needles. We take back the Chiaogoo needles that we have sold for ANY problem no matter how old they are. We have been selling Chiaogoo needles for about 8 years, and we have never had anyone tell us that they have had problems maintaining gauge when changing the same size needles. We have had most people even change from their very favorite needles to Chiaogoo because they have tried them and find them so wonderful to work with. You should have taken the needles back to the shop where you bought them with your complaint. Chiaogoo replaces any needles that we complain about every time with no questions asked.
