I have the Knitpro Ginger set and I love it. The hooks are gorgeous and really nice to work with. Just a little tip: when screwing on the cable to the hook - don't hold the hook on the wood part, hold it on the metal part. If you hold it on the wood part when screwing it creates an unneccessary strain on the hook and might in the long run make the metal part loosen from the hook.
Might be worth trying one of those other longer swiveling cables with the Ginger Hooks. I have several KnitPicks/KnitPro sets (knit and Tunisian) and generally everything fits on everything else, but there have been just one or two cables that haven't worked so well. The Mindful swivel cords, and the regular swivel cords have both fitted with my Ginger hooks. Hope you enjoy them.
Thanks for the tips! The black swivel cords that came with the needles have that screw that's just a little too big, but I'll see if I like knitting with the swivel cords and if I should get some for the hooks as well.
Am glad to see you with these--curious how you will like them--I have the set but added Mindful swivel cords in a few sizes. I love my Gingers---I do mostly Tunisian and Tunisian mosaic so these are used everyday (and work mostly in sports and DK weights)

Thanks for the tip! I will, when using the little key.
Oooh what a beautiful set. Great case.
That case has a few ways to be used, so I'll try them out and report back on which works best for me 😊

That's awesome. In your experience, does the yarn flow more easily on them after a while?
What beautiful hooks. I need to get a better set than what I have.
Let's see how they work first. My first few minutes were so-so. I hope they become more slick over time.
