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

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

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.

Easy to manage when working on socks - for me, better than using dpns

These are great knitting needles.I had to return them as I ordered them in the wrong size.The yarn just seems to glide off of them.I would order them again!!!

Love love love them. Perfect for two at a time toe up socks. Easy to store and travel with as well.

Perfect size for gloves & baby beanies using the finer yarns

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!

These are awesome! For someone like me, who isnt especially skilled at using double-pointed needles for knitting in the round, this is the perfect solution. These needles are the perfect length for knitting gloves and socks in the round. The needles themselves are rather short, but I suspect this is how they must be designed for such a short circumference. Once I got the hang of using these shorter needles, my knitting went smoothly and was much more rewarding than using DPNs (I always manage to have ladders and jogs when I use them).

One reviewer said it was like knitting with matchsticks. I didnt believe it. It was worse! My fingers got so cramped. Never again. I went back to straight needles for my next project.

Very nice. Ordered it to be able to knit socks in the round (for the most part). A little too short for working the toe part (had to switch to double pointed needles, but otherwise I was not disappointed. Took them on a trip with me, and once I got used to working with the short length, my speed increased, I wasnt dropping my double pointeds (as usual) and could stash the whole thing right in my purse. Very nice needles
