i hate wooden needles

I hate wooden needles. Hate them.

I know I promised a progress post on the cowl I’m working on (and a learn to crochet post, if I’m being honest), but I’m not ready for that yet and I needed to rant.

Two of my current projects are on wooden needles. One was a beginner mistake, before I really knew my preferences. The cowl is also on bamboo out of necessity – my LYS (local yarn shop) was out of what I wanted and I had to start the project for a class. Wooden needles are so… awful. I hate how they feel, the friction, the raspy feeling on my skin, on the yarn, the slow knit… ugh! As soon as I can get to the shop, I’ll be buying what I need in metal so I don’t lose my mind.

What’s your needle preference? Bamboo? Plastic? Aluminum?
