Bamboo Circular Knitting Needles Takumi , 9-Inch Size 3 (3016/9-03)

Excelente

a little hard on the hands knitting with these, due to the small needles. i like them because they are small enough for me to knit socks on them. Since i have gotten them i have knitted a pair of socks with no ladders :). and i was able to work them quickly without having to change from needle to needle like double point

I tried these for socks after hearing so much about 9 inch circulars. Clovers are my favorite needles. These look weird because there is nothing to them, but unless you have large hands or trouble with grip, I think you would do fine with these. They knit faster and pretty much eliminate dropped stitches. Making anything smaller or larger in circumference than an adult sock would be a problem. I am had only knitted 3 pairs of socks in my life when I got these, and I took right to them, but I am a fast learner. People seem to love them or hate them. I love them!

I really love these 9-inch circular needles! They are the perfect length for knitting adult socks. The bamboo needle tips provide just enough drag to keep the stitches from accidentally dropping off - a chronic problem I have with metal double-point needles (DPNs). It is true that for the first couple of rounds you may feel as if you are knitting with matchsticks, but as the knitting grows it becomes easy to maintain a relaxed grip on your knitting. I just finished my first pair of socks with these and was astonished at how fast I can complete a project without the constant needle adjustments that are required of both magic-loop knitting and traditional DPNs. The results are beautiful - absolutely smooth stockinette stitch without any trace of the laddering that can occur when knitting with DPNs. These needles have forever changed how I knit socks. Im so in love with them that Ive bought them in size 1, 2 and 3. You should give these a try - I predict you will love them too!

I am very happy with the product, but canot believe that it took 10 days to get here!! The date on the package was 2/20/2013 and I didnt get it until the 28th.

Lovely to knit with, met my expectations. Started my collection with these. Love the bend at the join.

I really like the wood needles vs the steel ones, less chance of your yarn falling off the needles

I like knitting with metal needles but if I am traveling then these are the best! I fly with these needles and sit comfortable knitting on my socks. You can use these needles sitting in the middle seat! Also, these needle are better for me to knit with when my husband is driving and I feel safer knitting with these needles in a moving vehicle. These needles are not for everyone, because the cord is so small and the needle is so short that it can become very uncomfortable for some knitters. If you have a heavy hand and hold your needles very tight then you might not want to buy the two smallest size of these needles because they will break. Happy knitting! Penandink

I like knitting with bamboo circular needles.

Needles too small to knit
