Coming to the party late, as usual.  I used to knit with metal needles but now find them uncomfortable on my hands.  I have straight bamboo needles but also a set of Knitpro interchangeable circular needles which are my go to.

The Symphonie needles look beautiful but I it'd be hard to justify the cost for a set at this stage. A good quality metal selection should do me fine for now and the Zing have excellent reviews . I'll need a couple more sizes to complete the set so I could always try Symphonie for that.

Now back to my test square...

When I use Bamboo I usually use these https://www.woolwarehouse.co.uk/needles-and-hooks/tulip-carryc-bamboo-interchangeable-needle-set

I just looked them up to find a link to show you and cannot believe the price

I have had mine about 5 years and I think they cost about £30.00 my friend bought hers last year, I got them for her and they were about £55.00. NOW  :facepalm: £184.99

Normally I use Chiaogo which are my absolute favourites
