Abstract:
A needle member for use as a knitting needle and methods of making the same are disclosed. An example needle member may be formed of a metallic material and include a solid tip end and a connecting end opposite the tip end. The connecting end may have a threaded portion configured to be selectively secured to a flexible cable by rotating the needle member relative to the cable, and a solid body extending longitudinally from the solid tip end to the connecting end which defines a needle grip aperture. The needle grip aperture may be fixed within the solid body relative to the threaded portion of the connecting end. An interchangeable knitting needle set may be provided, which includes a plurality of needle members and different length cables for selectively connecting two of the needle members to create different knitting needles having different lengths or needle diameters.

Claim (Index 1):
An interchangeable knitting needle, comprising:\n a first needle member formed of a metallic material, the first needle member including:\n a solid tip end; \n a connecting end opposite the tip end, the connecting end having a threaded portion configured to be selectively secured to a flexible cable by rotating the needle member relative to the cable; and \n a solid body extending longitudinally from the solid tip end to the connecting end, the solid body defining a substantially round lateral cross-section, the solid body defining a needle grip aperture positioned adjacent the connecting end and extending laterally through the solid body, the needle grip aperture being fixed within the solid body relative to the threaded portion of the connecting end.
