Review on Clover 3016/16-10.5 Takumi Bamboo Circular Knitting Needles, 16-Inch, Size 10.5 by Kristen Simpson

I bought these needles specifically for knitting a hood and they are great. I like that the bamboo holds up well and the yarn doesn't fall off the ends. When my stitches are tight it can take some effort to put them on the needle, but I really like these needles. I'm new to knitting and these were my first rounds. I haven't tried aluminum so I don't have a comparison. The plastic loop that holds the needles together flexes a little oddly, but if the piece is large enough that's even less of an issue. I love these needles. and I look forward to new projects.
