My knitting needles
Here are my bamboo knitting needles. The one in brown is a knitting needle set which i bought when i first embarked on this new hobby. Doesnt cost much 18 years back. Cant remember how much i paid for it. Maybe around Rm300 or so?? But now, i think a set like this will cost around Rm600. Mine is Tulip brand. But the ones being sold now is Clover from Japan.
The red colored one holds all the loose pairs i bought as i progressed over the years. I prefer bamboo knitting needles as they are lighter and very smooth. Holds my knitting very well. Some knitters use metal knitting needles. My sis gave me two pairs. They’re heavy, makes an irritating clik-clik-clik noise as i knit and also slippery. And my stitches will slide off it easily. These will be my museum pieces, lol.
Here are the contents of my bamboo knitting needles set. The contents varies from time to time as they do “disappear”. I just replace whatever i lost/broke. The flap on the right holds all those smaller tools and other knick-knacks like stitch holders and stitch markers. I’ll elaborate on those on a different post.
When you are first starting to knit, it’s better to buy a pair or two first. Once you get the hang of knitting, and feel that you are ready to move on to bigger projects, invest in good knitting needles sets like this. It’s an investment and worth every dollar, believe me. Buy once, use forever; unless you lose them, lol.
Here’s what’s inside the red-colored knitting needle bag. I may work on 3 to 4 projects at a time. So, even two pairs of needles of the same size are never be enough. Sometimes, i may borrow them from the shop. But then, it’s best to buy if you’re an avid knitter. I havent really counted how many pairs i have. I guess i’ll just keep on buying from time to time
