Toot

Current frustration: my long (30cm) wooden 4.5mm needles are too grippy, and my short (25cm) aluminium 4.5mm needles are too short for my current WIP.

I know many people love wood and bamboo needles, but I have very tight tension on my knit stitches (even though I have improved) and I find grippy needles very frustrating.

I'm sure I would love my nice wooden needles if I was working with slippery yarn, but current yarn is not slippery.

FRUSTRATION!

@kerravonsen @knitting Nah I'm with you! I exclusively work on metal needles. Even plastic needles (which tend to be a bit more grippy) bug me. I'll gladly take the risk of an easily fixed dropped stitch over the frustration of grippy needles.

@kerravonsen @knitting knitting flat on circulars is a neat way to have enough room on the needle for your project, so if you have fitting circulars you can totally use those instead.
