(knowing full well that one person will question the purpose, there is no
MOTIVE, just a
Pol for FUN, it usually wakes the group up!)

So: regarding knitting needles, do you prefer:

metal
plastic
bone
rosewood
bamboo
birch

???
Have fun!

I want the LIGHTEST needles possible
thus bamboe, plastic and aluminium are my favorites !!!!

I prefer aluminum for everything -- very light, very quick, and very
slippery! I also vastly prefer straight needles, and only use
circulars when in a car or airplane, where seeing ends of straight
needles bobbing around is a distraction for the driver or pilot.

As a child I used bone, graduated to plastic but they break too easily
(especially if you sit on them -OUCH!!) so now use metal.

I'd always used straight until Mirjam suggested using circulars. When I
tried them I found that instead of supporting the weight of the knitting
on the needles (and consequently my wrists), the weight rests neatly on my
lap. A "positive" after those wrist operations last year. I use circulars
now for most things. :-)

I haven't tried bone or bamboo as the price here is prohibitive.
