Clover 3016/16-08 Takumi Bamboo 16-Inch Circular Knitting Needles, Size 8 Review

After focusing entirely on crocheting I decided it was time to get my knitting fingers working again . This is perfect for me. I love how smooth the needles are even though it's wood. I've been working non-stop on projects since I took it out of the box. I will definitely be ordering more in different sizes. + in my book!

I bought these circular needles because they are specifically listed as a must have for a hat I am knitting. The bamboo needles were well made and smooth; and the cord is smooth and strong. It is more difficult to knit with circular needles than with straight ones; but the more I knit the easier it gets and these needles are easy to hold and use.

I love these needles because they are made out of bamboo. When I'm knitting with metal-tipped circular needles, the stitches tend to slip off when I don't want them to. Bamboo is warm, comfortable to the touch and has no flaws. I used it to knit socks (using two circular needles) and now I use it to knit a scarf. I've read that some people don't like them because the plastic part is tight. An experienced knitter told me what to do with it: boil a cup of water in the microwave. Take the mug out…
