About a year after the option cables were made available I wrote to the company about this idea, the cable connectors, & was told what a dumb idea they were. Well, low & behold, there they are-a simple thank you would have sufficed.

I love the idea of these, but they have one inherent major flaw from an engineering standpoint. The ends are threaded in the opposite direction; so if you’re mid project and adding a section of cable, one end screws on and the other end unscrews. It was maddening. If they were threaded the same direction, they would stay tight and not come loose. I ended up wrapping a piece of packing tape on the connector for insurance that it didn’t come undone. When they see screwed in tightly, they are smooth and worked well, but I think the design could use some tweaking.

These work exactly as advertised. I have used them to connect two 60" cables to make a blanket in the round (from the outside in). Because of the interchangeable nature, I was able to remove a cable when I got to the middle and had fewer stitches. They're very convenient!

This is the most wonderful little tool - almost on a par with the wheel and a mouse trap for making the interchangeable cords long enough for the biggest project

When I need to take my needles off a work in progress, I leave the work on the cable and use these to connect the ends together so my stitches won't slip off. I also put a needle size tag on the cable so I will know what size needles I was using.

Bought these for my options needles and the join is so smooth! I was a little worried about the yarn snagging but it didn't!

Omg I can't wait! I was just looking on a lark because I want to entrelac a covertlet for our queen bed. This will make it so much easier to make sure I don't get unwanted pools of color!

This works out great with my options needles set!
