Abstract
Example knitting needle connector assemblies, e.g., for a knitting needle or crochet tool, may include first and second members. The first member may be generally cylindrical and have a radially facing slot extending circumferentially about a longitudinal axis of the first member. The second member may have one or more radially projecting pins received in the slot, wherein the one or more pins are movable about the circumferentially extending slot such that the first member is rotatable with respect to the second member about the longitudinal axis.
