What size? At US#1, I like steel. At size 6, steel is so bad I can not use
the right words here.
And for what purpose? Sitting at home in my easy chair, I like fast
slippery sock needles. Out traveling, I like sock needles that absolutely
will not fall out and get lost, even if they are so rough that they give me
blisters.

Let me change the question a bit: You are flood victim and you are being
allowed to take 1/2 pound of knitting needles and tools and up to 10 pounds
of any ONE yarn to last you for the indefinite future. You have 30 minutes
to pack and get out the door. What do you take?

I would take my
good/smooth wood sock needles in 6" size 4
1 set of 5-18" #1 steel gansey needles
knitting sheath
Swiss army knife with scissors
tape measure
set of 5-10" steel #1 DPN
set of 5 - 7" aluminum #0 DPN
10# of Bartletts sport weight

Sorry, my other task for the day is to brainstorm out the potential
consequences of global warming including abrupt climate due to changes in
thremolhaline currents. Kind of depressing because we are not ready and we
are not getting ready. And, the folks that should be leading do not have
any better grip on the science of global warming than they had on military
science when they said that a hydrogen generator for the Iraq Artillery was
a "Mobile Biological Weapons Lab." You know who I mean.

I'd agree with the Denise set and add
my Bryspun 10" straights. I love the points.

Depends on what I'm knitting.

Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET.
This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%.
Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account...

All of my straight needles are Boyes.

My circular needles are Boyes also.

I do have a Denise set I use most when I need a circular.

I also have two set of Boye interchangeable circulars.

All my double points are clover with a few Susan Bates.

My favorite needles are my full set of Clover bamboo flex needles or
maybe my Denise set? Hhhhmmmm.

Hugs & God bless,
Dennis & Gail

Well, I'm partial to bamboo because I like the control; I tend to drop
stitches like crazy off aluminum or steel. All of my circulars are
Plymouth bamboo, and I love them. I like short DPNs, like 5", so I like
the Brittany birch DPNs (except I keep breaking the 2-mm ones; I've gone
through several sets in the past few years). I recently picked up a
couple sets of Crystal Palace bamboo DPNs that I really like; they're 6"
so not *too* long, and they seem to be holding up to my abuse rather
nicely. I had been bending my Inox bamboo DPNs to the point where they
were gonna start snapping, so I'm giving them a rest; they're also 7"
needles, but I tolerate the length because the needles are nice.
