Sock needles
I really like the super sharp points on these needles. Took a bit of practice to work out ways of not sticking them into my right index fingertip - this may have been worse because I'm a continental style knitter. However, once I got into the habit of not pushing down on the left hand needle tip, my knitting was substantially speeded up. I bought two, as I knit socks two at a time on two circulars. My husband is happily wearing the results!
