[Nfb-krafters-korner] questions for the knitters out there

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Have any of you tried out the "square"knitting needles?  I received my  first 
pair and wished I got a larger size to test out first.  I like to use  
circular knitting needles and I got regular knitting needles.  These are  hand 
carved and I think I will order another pair of circular ones size 10 1/2  before I 
decide.  I had gotten size 9 that are 14 inches long.  I  prefer to use wood 
needles as they are much better for my hands.  There  seems to be a little 
better drag on the yarn defintely more than the metal or  plastic needles.  The 
yarn tends to slide off them too easily.
 
 
 
The place I got them also makes square wooden crochet hooks that are  suppose 
to be good, too.
 
I will keep all of you posted on this area.
