I thought I was a total freak because I always use circular knitting needles. I use circular knitting needles for all patterns. I have tried a couple times to use straight needles but never get more than two or three rows before I switch back to my circulars. I was reading the Lion Brand Notebook today, when I found a post asking which people preferred. I was surprised that the majority use circular.
I adore Knit Picks’ nickel plated circulars. The needles are slick and make stitches move across them like melted butter. However, the cable that tethers the needles together is the deal cincher for me. The cable is super flexible and the joint with it and the needles is smooth. If all this weren’t enough, the price is affordable too.
In parting, here is a little clip some might remember from the good old days of yore…
Give A Hoot
