Susan Bates 15110-13 10-Inch Crystallites Acrylic Knitting Needle, 9mm, Orange

I often knit for long periods of time, and I have arthritis in my hands. With good lightweight knitting needles like these, knitting is a gentle exercise that helps keep my fingers flexible and helps me use my hands for a variety of more difficult tasks that I would otherwise have difficulties doing. I can knit with a variety of other types of knitting needles, but these are among the most comfortable. I have also used these knitting needles to teach other people how to knit and. Not everyone likes them, but more of the new knitters that I have taught have liked them than have liked any single other type. Of course there are dozens of sizes, and materials of knitting needles, and several other styles, so it is a good idea to go to a yarn store and get an employee to help you to figure out what feels comfortable for you if you can.

I'm a novice to knitting - trying to teach myself by watching YouTube videos. But based on one of them, designed for beginners, these needles were recommended because the beginner might have a problem with metal needles because the stitches slip off more easily. I will tell you that with these needles, stitches are unlikely to slip off. However, what I did find is that the stitches stick a little, especially if the tension is tight. Other than that, they are fine needles, comfortable to use and get the job done.

Received these needles just yesterday, and am already 3/4 of the way through a chunky gartar-stitch cowl!Tried knitting decades ago, but found it tedious and frustrating. But after recently completing a few arm-knitting projects, studying some video tutorials, AND grabbing these highly-recommended needles, I'm knitting and purling like a pro!They glide through the yarn... and no clicking and clacking, like aluminum needles. The perfect choice for bulky yarns... and the length is perfect, neither too short nor too long.Buying another pair now, so I can have more than one project in work!

I learned how to knit from a YouTube video and these are the needles that were recommended. As long as you use them with the appropriate weight yarn they are perfect for everyday knitting projects. They are easy to grip and I know I'll use them for years to come.

I like these acrylic needles. My scarf is coming along very nicely. I like the smoothness of the needles which makes it easy for me. Not many snags while I knit.

I have always used Susan Bates crochet and knitting supplies.

Very interesting needles.

I am quite happy with these needles. Light and easy to use.
