It's Hip to be Square!

So I decided to try out a pair of Kollage's square knitting needles. After all, I do love funky things, and what could be more funky than square knitting needles? And, to be honest, they do look like an Art Deco piece. But I LOVE them! As a tight knitter, these are like a dream come true. I don't have to fight with the yarn to get my needles through the stiches after I first cast on. And, just like they advertise, my hands don't cramp at all when I use them. In fact, when I had to switch from my square size 8s to my round, bamboo size 7s, I noticed the difference almost immeaditly. My only gripe is how limp the wire is. If you're knitting a smaller piece, then you're going to have to push the stiches along the wire, cause they won't slide. I mean, I'm very happy that it's not all kninky and makes loop-de-loops when you put the needles together. But still. A happy medium would be nice here. And my BIGGEST gripe? Now I'm going to have to go out and change all of my needles! But it's totally worth it.
