I have a small set of sharp stainless steel Hiya Hiya interchangable circulars, but since I tried the ChiaGoo Red Lace stainless steel circulars, I love them and I regret that I have not decided for the ChiaGoo set when I bought my needle set. Although - or because - the tips are extremly pointed, I barely split the thread with the needle when knitting. I really enjoy knitting with the two ChiaGoos which I own so far and Im dreaming of a small ChiaGoo Twist Red Lace set now.
I use circulars for everything, even flat knitting. Bought a full set of Chicagoos and Im in love. They are metal. I like the yarn to flow smoothly and I dont find that happens with bamboo.
Metal good for tiny knitting because for the stitches don't become loosening. Wood needles good for big knitting because stitches become loosenign.Plastic not good for tiny or big knitting I think.
I love interchangable circs, favorites are knitpicks. I swear by them. Ive only had one cable break at the join and it was a 60" I was using for a blanket. Material just got too heavy.
I prefer metal, they are light and slick, and contrary to a friend of mines opinion they are not cold, because they get hot with our handss own heat. I got an intergangeable set from knitpro (Nova Metal) and Im deligthed with them. I tried bamboo normal needles because they are so pretty but I find them slow to work with.
Lightweight aluminium circular needles. Ive tried bamboo circulars but the plastic tubing in the middle either comes away or breaks off. I have the alu ones in short, medium and long................:lol
I am addi turbo girl, interchangeable Regular turbos, not too fond of the a ddi lace. I like the slickness of the knit picks and they are very pretty but the joints unscrew for me all the time:(
I re-taught myself to knit using straight bamboo needles. But currently I tend to go for circular, metal needles. If I keep on knitting, Ill definately buy interchangeable needles!
