I can't use
bamboo/wood needles because I break them--not because I sit on them or
some
other accident, just that I have a tight enough tension that the needles
bend more and more, then finally break. I know now why bamboo slivers
were
used to torture people--I managed to skewer myself several times before I
finally gave up on bamboo/wood. Now I use aluminum for larger sizes and
stainless steel for sock needles.
Good to know I am not alone. I use metal needles and they are always bent!
I daren't use bamboo or wood
