am currently knitting with size 3 [u.s.] needles, and even though i have purchased other nice needles through jimmybeanswool.com, these exceptional blue sky alpaca needles are the best ever. i find myself going back to them time and time again. these superb needles literally slip through any yarn i've used to date, so wonderfully that i don't even really have to pay attention to my gauge; these needles help me knit not-too-tightly and not-too-loosely. the little tin box is not only sweet to look at, but keeps the needles safe from breakage or loss. [plus, the "tinkle" of the needles in the tin container is a very sweet sound to my ears!]
shall definitely order more in different sizes! |
