Hello everyone! Just here to say that I am truly blown away by the difference having nice needles makes! I am a crocheter branching into knitting, so I got a silly little cheap pair of needles to see if knitting was something I’d like. I enjoyed it but there was something frustrating about it that I couldn’t quite identify. I decide that I want to try to make a pair of socks, and thus ordered some dpn (Knitter’s pride Karbonz) and I am having so much fun just knitting the swatch! They flow and click in such a satisfying way, making it abundantly clear how terrible my other needles are. That’s all, just sharing my excitement :)

    Nice! I have a set of carbons and they’re by far my favorite! Bamboo are alright, nice and flexible, but sometimes they grab. Metal are nice and slippery, but they’ll hurt my hands after a while. My carbons though, they’re the perfect balance!
