Needles, You Can Never Have Enough Of Them!

A while ago I treated myself to some Knit Pro Symfonie (UK) / Knit Picks Harmony (US) interchangeable circular needles.  I bought them from Hulu in Devon and they are just fantastic.  Generally, I have quite a few problems achieving the correct tension (gauge) when I'm knitting, as I always seem to need to use a needle that is two sizes smaller than the pattern states.  When I was knitting as a child, I used to have completely the opposite problem and I would knit so tightly that you could barely get the needle to go into the stitch!

These particular needles are made of birch and are very light and smooth.  I still have my Aero metal straits and I'm sure I'll use them again one day, but for the moment, I'm finding these wooden ones are a dream to work with.
