I love the bamboo needles. I even prefer them over the fancy addi Turbos everyone raves about.

when I first started knitting, I hated them, but now I love them. I'm finding the Addi Turbo's I loved, are coming in second to my bamboo's.

Anise, in my area bamboo circs are cheaper than the addi turbo.
I love wood needles! I was so sad when Brittney stopped making the walnut ones. I do have metal dpn's in the smaller sizes, since I tend to break the wood ones, but I'm currently trying some bamboo size 2's to see if they might hold up better.

I LOVE:heart: my bamboo needles and won't knit with anything else.
I would also love a set of bamboo circs, if I could find 'em at a decent price.:D

I love them too. I learned to knit on them. My current project is on aluminum and that took ALOT of getting used to. My stitches were flying all over the place. :eek:

Great! Now I can put them on my list of things to buy. I was eyeing some at AC Moore the other day and was not sure if they would be any good.:thumbsup:

Wooden needles are my favorite. My grandma taught me to knit when I was a child on her wooden needles :heart:

It is much easier to knit with the fun fur holding it double with a plain yarn. You can get the fun fur at Walmart, you can also get it at joann.com For a simple fun fur scarf, I would just cast on20-30 stitches, depending on how wide you want it, and then knit all rows for as long as you want it!
