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 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.

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.

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.

Includes centers to make 18", 24" and 32" circular needles; two centers are included to make jumper cables 20" long; point protectors and three steel sewing needles; packaged in a beautiful fabric case, made exclusively for WEBS."

Heck, it's gotta be cheaper than buying all those bamboo circs, yes?

Hmmm, wonder if they allow co-ops? That does seem like a nice set!
