Bamboo Knitting Needles

So I've visited an online knitting store and bought more needles. Another bundle of 15 sets of varying sizes from 2mm upwards, made from bamboo.

I love wooden needles. The more they are used the more polished they become. The best thing about them is their lightness. Bad or weak wrists might find this type of needle easier to hold then a metal or plastic needle. To be honest I hate the feel of metal and plastic needles, and the sound of them clacking drives me up the wall.

As well as the wooden needles, I also ordered the cable needle required for making the hat (see below), and a yarn cutter which doubles as a necklace. I can't remember its name, however, since I am currently carrying my knitting project all over the country the cutter is going to be a wonderful addition to my jewelry kit.....it also looks lovely. I haven't heard of anyone else having one of these and can't wait to try it out.

This is my second visit to the Bamboo Knitting Centre who I find keep the customer well informed on the progress of their order with polite e-mails (one to confirm order and one to confirm dispatch). Delivery is fast, postage currently free in the UK (they also deliver to other countries including USA) and everything is well packaged. Of course I could be a little biased because I like their needles.

At the end of the day everything boils down to personal taste. Buy what you are going to use not what is going to sit on a shelf gathering dust.

I'll let you know how things turn out.
