'Knitting and spinning. The fun never stops.'
Wendy says:
Ruffles Have Ridges
And so do my new silver dpns.
A number of you commented on the ridges in the dpns, asking if that impeded the movement of stitches on the needles.
One of the main issues I have with metal dpns is that the needle falls out of the stitches way too easily. I remember a pair of patterned Norwegian socks I knitted on some small size steel dpns -- I had a hell of a time keeping my needles in my work.
I took my new silver needles on my commute on Friday and am happy to report that the ridges in the needles kept the stitches in place, even on the bumpy train. But they do not slow up my knitting at all -- I can easily move the stitches across the ridges. They just give the needle a bit of "grab."
They are certainly heavier than my bamboo dpns, but in size 2.0mm, this is not an issue. It only took a couple of rounds before I was used to knitting with them.
Unlike the Knitpicks dpns in the smaller sizes, the points are not so pointy that it's painful when you stub your finger on them. Yet they were pointy enough for me to easily pick up my wraps on my short-row toe.
Does it sound like I like these needles? Yes I do! The surface of them is not completely round -- they have a lovely handmade look (because they are -- duh) and it does not in anyway detract from their usability. If anything, it adds to the enjoyment of the process for me.
Check out the Celtic Swan website -- they've got lots of beautiful things there.
Thanks very much Wendy.
