No knitting needles callus

Love these. Not too obnoxious on your finger and protects it from the knitting needles.

But they are lovely. These aren't projects that you can carry around in your purse to work on when you have a few spare minutes. Most have charts so if you aren't used to using charts, you may find these projects frustrating. There isn't anything here for the beginning knitter.

I think this is a nice item although I don't think it is faster than knitting.  It is easy to use and a great hobby for someone who cannot knit but for someone who knits it is tedious and does not give the results of a nicely knitted piece.

For flat knitting pieces that require seaming with yarn, these needles are perfect. I made a pair of fingerless gloves with required a seam and while I have extensive sewing knowledge, I had never used yarn needles. These needles come in a variety of sizes and are easy to use. So glad I ordered them.

I love sock knitting, but my technique involves using my right index finger to remove a worked stitch and push forward the unworked stitches from the left needle.  I use 9 circular needles and they have pointy tips which frequently pierce my finger.  The Clover Leather Thimble stops this painful and dangerous occurance and makes knitting pain free.  My finger callous is finally healing and hopefully sensation will someday return to that fingertip.

I love Clover bamboo knitting needles and rarely knit with anything else. I purchased this 48" long Size 6 needle from Amazon because the sweater I am knitting "grew" to the point that the Size 6 36" long circular needle I had it on would not accommodate all the stitches, and because I could not find one this size in my local yarn store. But when I took the new one out of the wrapper I could tell the two needles were not the same size. Sure enough, the needle I was replacing was 4.00 millimeters in diameter, and the new one was 4.25 mm. However, both are labeled Size 6. A little research revealed that a Japanese Size 6 needle is 4.25 mm and a US Size 6, like all of my other Size 6 needles, is 4.00 mm. Since Clover bamboo needles are made in Japan, I suppose it is reasonable to expect them to be made to Japanese standards. The slight difference in needle size did not make a difference to my project, but to some knitting projects, it might. Be aware!

It was short in length uncomfortable steel to knit with the stitch was uniform . Wonder if they could make them in a softer material. I knit mostly with bamboo. Have a custom doggie  knit wear.  K9 kids. Like to knit sweaters on round needles.

Bought this to use to knit socks with magic loop. I was having snagging issues at the join of the metal top to the carbon fiber shaft on one needle, then I adjusted stitches one one round and the tip separated from the needle. Disappointing, as I really liked the weight and feel of the needles otherwise.

Your basic needles.  Sometimes I use the aluminum needles, but mostly I've switched to plastic or wood due to the slippery nature of the aluminum.  It's your preference in the end.

I wish the knitting instructions were modernized for use with circular needles. I'm going to have to consult with one of my expert knitting friends to make this work for me.

Hmmm, One of the #8 needles in this set splintered as soon as I tried to use it! Otherwise, these needles are very poorly finished, they catch on yarns and split them, also the points are too large to be easily slipped into yarn loops. I think these needles might be helpful for beginners who are afraid of dropping stitches, the rough texture makes this almost impossible. Anyone who is accustomed to speed and fluid motions will find their arms aching from these needles. I'm returning these and investing in metal needles.

I am trying to learn to knit caps
there are no circular needles at my local store that are smaller than 29"
Patterns say I have to use 16" needles

I do wonder if the bamboo will absorb colors or pick up oils from hands, like hand lotion, etc and then pick up grime.
they look a little discolored already. I have a lot of yarn that has been around a while. I use and reuse to learn. Anything I make will have to be washed. I wonder how long they will stay smooth.

I am very confused with your Harry Potter knit  Pattern.  I have been a knitter all most all my life and never seen directions such as these.

I wished that the author had given insight on  how the 67 stitches were picked up on the original Chunky Cowl Poncho with Cable Detail on page 78-80.  The author  illustrated  how to pick-up stitches on a basic bind-off.  The bind-off that should be shown is the pick up b/t the little knots or through the open space of Rib Knit edge.  Even though the 17 spaces are evenly distributed , I had to go to YouTube to find the method for this pick-up.  This is suppose to be for Intermediate Knitter, I can knit and purl and follow the author instruction except for the 67 pick-up stitches for the Upper Half of the Poncho.  I really like this pattern and doing good but not finished. I am leaving this review hoping that the author will reply with the technique for the pick-up stitches or what was done for the Upper Half of the Poncho.  Knitter want to knit the very best that represents the pattern and the author.  I do not do Facebook...nor do I have a e-mail address of the author or website for this author.  Thanks

I am no knitting.  Never knitted before and I have made 5 items since I bought this.
