I think you should know...

If you should ever decide to take up knitting, you should know that these needles (and other Clover Takumi brand needles) are the only ones I'll use. They feel so good in my hands. They're made of bamboo, not aluminum (I despise aluminum needles). They're extremely smooth, but not slick, so your yarn stays in place. They're not very expensive, maybe just a couple dollars more than the dreaded aluminum needles. *Shiver* Should you choose to purchase them, you won't be sorry.

This has been a public servance announcement brought to you by your friendly neighborhood knitting watch lady. Have a nice day.
