hallo mrs Isabel,
why do you say that?
i m intrigued now because you are the first of a long list sayning this
i must admit that mostly i do not use needles but i use a computerised
industrial machine
but now and then i do a bit of sampling on the classic way
it is very fast for looking for colour matshing and effects of fantasy
threads
the reason i was looking for wooden knitting needles is that I have now
a pear of german ebony
needles and they feel so njammy to work in
it is like you are not carrying those needles
hard to explain in a foreign language
but I feel like a knitting princes altough i am a knitting farmer
i think that after some soulsearshing i can say that it is to put away
the feel of the industrial side of my activitys
metal and industry versus wood and nature
so that is way i was looking if there are other wood needles on the market
and apperently there are a lot but ...... a lot of differend ones
differend touches, differnd woods and grains........
If i look to the metal ones I used to work in:
Like the prym metal needels and other similar ones
i sometimes have the feel that they are to heavy
and not pleasant enough in my hands
they feel cold and clinical death
it is again between the ears ofcourse but.
Bart always looks to those matters in an other way
he says it is a kind of snobisme
i do not agree
but if you have a real reason and not emotional ones like i have.....
i am one and all ears
and i forgat to mention that the tik tak noise of the woods are like the
risling of willows in the wind
and the metal kling klang tsching, well .... it bothers me
