I spent some time yesterday entering all my crochet hooks and knitting needles into an Excel spreadsheet. I was amazed to find that I own more than 50 of each! Even so, I don't have one of every size available so I persuaded hubby to buy me a couple of pairs of bamboo knitting needles while he was out running errands -- No. 13 (9mm) and No. 15 (10mm).
I dug out an old skein of American Thread Co. Dawn knitting worsted in 100% virgin wool - rainbow color - to practice my garter stitch by making a narrow scarf. I've always loved that yarn - all basic colors. My sister and I used to cut it up in long pieces and leave them on low bushes so the birds would take them for their nests. It was so much fun to spy a bird's nest made with the yarn woven into it. I wonder if kids still do that?
Anyway, the bamboo needles are great. They're light in weight and make the most wonderful clicking sound. Soooo relaxing! Aluminum needles can make a sound but it's just not the same.
