Square needles are... interesting.

crafty_packratI've started another scarf for texasgrandma, this time using a set of Kollage square knitting needles. I'm not sure how I feel about them yet, but I thinking I'm using slightly different muscles to knit with (because my hands felt odd), and I may be knitting faster that I was using standard bamboo circulars.
If I decided I like them, I might get two sets of size 0 for sock knitting.
One thing though, the nylon cable is very floppy on my Kollage circ, and it's a bit disconcerting at first. It *does* say on the package that the cable won't "kink, kurl or knot"... but the wet noodle consistency is a little strange if you're used to other brands of circulars.
