[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Prefered circular knitting needles

[Tracy Carcione]

I love the feel of the bamboo needles, but the yarn doesn't slip as easily on them as it does on metal, which starts to strain my wrist after a bit.  Same with plastic, though not so much as with the wood or bamboo.  So it's metal for me.  I have tendonitis in my right wrist from typing all day for decades, so I have to be careful with some things.

I love bamboo, too, much better than metal.  The metal are cool to my hands and make them hurt.  But I have friends who love the metal, and it's just a personal preference for each person.  <g<

Hi Yolanda,

I prefer bamboo circular needles. They are not slippery like metal needles

. I don’t like plastic needles because the cable usually twists and the needles can  break off of the cable. I am sorry but cannot remember what brand I have.

May God bless you.
