To be honest, I don't know who Denise is, but I love her needles and hooks! If you aren't familiar with the Knit Denise line, it is a versatile line of knitting needles and crochet hooks that are made in the USA and their manufacturing facilities practice zero-landfill procedures! How cool is that? How can I not love a company like that?
Yes, I do use their products too. Which means that I like their philosophy and their products. If you've stopped in the shop recently, you've probably noticed a project, or two, on their needles. That's one of the things that I find handy - being interchangeable, I can have multiple projects going and need fewer needles and hooks. And you should see some of the convoluted combinations I've come up with while looking for DPNs that have gone temporarily missing. I swear that's the only reason one of my friends thinks using DPNs is hard, no matter what I tell him!

I also carry their Organizer, in red ($50) and additional needles, hooks and cords. the Organizer is also US made and great for more than just Denise sets...which really, even if you have an interchangeable set, you're still going to have markers, tape measures, pens, etc. This is a great tote for just that!
