I use them so much, it is rediculous!
I am one of those people that have a lot of projects started an dwhen I had 8 or so sets of needles I would have a project on all of them. I purchased this set of StitchBerry Bamboo DPN's earlier this year and I love them. I thought that I would have all of them full... but they are so easy to use that I finish almost everything I start. Oh... DPN is short for Double Pointed Needle. Just in case you didn't know! :)
I have a few sets of Circular Needles and I knit comfortably with them but I feel like with DPN's I can be more creative and free... I have needles of many different materials and Bamboo is my second favorite next to Metal. I knit very tight (why I love the metal) and the StitchBerry Bamboo needles can stand up to all I put them through. I have knit everything on them from fingerless gloves to beanies and even scarves... Yes scarves. If you are knitting a skinnier scarf these needles are perfect.
I ordered them on Amazon.com from Paramount Goods. They were priced perfectly for my budget and they are well worth the money.
I payed $19.99 plus $4.50 shipping for 15 sets of 5. I was amazed at the price and a little skeptical but I absolutley love them! I recieved them in a wekk or so and they came very clean and organized.

I reccomend these for any knitter, beginner or expert. I love them and I don't know what I would do wihout them!
To the left: A Fair Isle baby beanie I made usung the Bamboo DPN's from StitchBerry. Fair Isle patterns can be a little difficult even for experienced knitters. These needles made this project so much easier.

i actually own a set of bamboo dpns after much thought [they cost up to twice as much as the cheap boye sets at my local craft store!], but after a few projects on those needles, I was hooked!
ReplyDeletethey're wonderfully warm to the touch and grip my projects really well, which i appreciate when shaping hat crowns, and very simple to maintain for smooth manageable tips.
it was difficult at first to shell the 8-14 dollars for the nice bamboo sets but take it from yet another person--those needles will be around for at least a few months if you take care of them. and i believe the bamboo ones pay for themselves in toughness and ease of use.
