Square needles
I'd think triangular would make for a better "perfect fit". My
all-time favorite pencils are the triangular art pencils I find occasionally at Tschatschky Hell, er, Hobby Lobby.

Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account... |

Square needles
How odd--I was just thinking about square needles yesterday, and wondering
what it would be like to knit on them. I expect you'd have to figure out your gauges all over again.

Square needles
1. Palm is a nice needle material. Palm needles in any shape are going to
be very nice - and expensive. 2. Square works better at larger sizes and with softer yarns. Larger sizes minimize CTS, pinch problems. At larger needles sizes, palm is heavy. 3. Square does not work as well with smaller needles, tighter gauges, or more firmly spun yarns. I made 1 triangular needle. I made a few square DPN, and today, every knitting needle in my stash is round. Square needles are easy to make, but I found round to be worth the extra effort. If you want square needles, you can buy the wooden blanks that they sell for turning pens, and taper the tips yourself. Aaron "Midwest poster" wrote in message ...

I'd like to know if anyone tried them, too. They had them on PBS's Needle Arts Studio today. I'd imagine they'd take some getting used to. Especially if they're all 14" like the ones they demonstrated are. sue |

My all-time favorite pencils are the triangular art pencils I find occasionally at Tschatschky Hell, er, Hobby Lobby. I was curious over the square needles. But after have read your message, I agreee with you, Wooly! Triangle pencils are perfect for me! But I have one second thought, though. We hold pencils another way than a knitting needle? I coudn't find a triangle pencil to "try out" LOL! AUD ;-) |

It will not "slip" in your fingers. (I know that sites with pictures are heavy to download, but here is a link: http://www.cultpens.com/acatalog/Fab...Grip_2001.html ) AUD ;-)) |
