I'm in love with these needles
The first DPNs I used were those cheap metal (steel?) ones that as far as I knew were the only kind in existence. When I discovered cheap bamboo needles, they were a massive improvement. These KnitPro DPNs are better again, light, smooth, warm. And pretty! The 2.5mm set I bought is a set of 6, and since I only knit with four at a time I effectively have two spares. I think I'll be picking up some additional sizes someday soon.
