Boye3216327009M Aluminum Straight Knitting Needles Set, US Size 9, 10" L, 2pcs

What can I say about knitting needles?I bought them because I had really thick yarn that needed this size needle.The only thing I didn’t like about them, was their size, combined with the aluminum’s slipperiness. But I needed the size, and all I could find was aluminum. But that’s not their fault, this is what I bought. I know it before hand and bought it anyway.But you might like to hear it too.As I said above, big size and the slipperiness made them tedious to work with. And maybe the difficulty was due to my older fingers that just didn’t like that. So your experience may vary.

I’m new to knitting and had been told to start with wooden needles, as they have more grip to them. But I quickly found that I’m a tight knitter. Over time, I was making little gouges in the bamboo. People have different tastes and preferences, but for me, aluminum is the way to go! The colors being different to help you tell which size you’re using at a glance is such an elegant solution! Both my mother (also a newbie) and I just love these!The one drawback, at least to for us, is the temperature aspect of things. I have chronic pain and my mother has circulation issues. This winter, the needles would be so cold to the touch. They caused me pain (discomfort is misinterpreted as pain in my condition) and my mother to have acute issues with her circulation. Her fingertips would go completely white and she would need to stop in order to prevent damage to them. So if you have a pain syndrome or circulation issues, be aware that you may need to let these warm up a bit before you use them. I’d either tuck them under my thigh or wrap them in my heating pad on a low setting and it helped a great deal.It’s no dealbreaker, but just a little PSA for any prospective knitters who are switching to metal needles.

You can't go wrong with this company. In retrospect, I should have purchased a whole set at once as over the years I have pretty much all the sizes. But when you're young you're also likely to have less $$$, so it makes good sense to buy as you need. Also you can pass on to the grandkids.

I love the feel of these light weight aluminum needles. I have been knitting with this type of needle for years and I am finding them harder to find. Was glad to be able to find and purchase on line. I received them very quickly and the quality of the needles are great.

Good for knitting but I wouldn’t say beginners
