I have tried the Brittany birches and knitted Ice Queen before Christmas with them but I find them harder work with KSH than the old day to day aero or milwards needles. One tip that I find helpful is to use the shortest needle I can get away with as it seems easier to manage that way. I find it a forgiving and easy yarn as it likes a few tugs to find stitches! It does seem to like lace and blocks very nicely. It also seems to stick a bit so mistakes do not ravel away. I have a few KSH finished items on Ravelry if you want to look ID Judithknits.<BR/>JudithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8446078032788565854.post-36488695266254084922008-01-14T19:00:00.000+00:002008-01-14T19:00:00.000+00:00Metal needles suit me best for all yarn types, and...Metal needles suit me best for all yarn types, and pointy points too.

I have the feeling that they were wood-tipped circulars, but I'll check my notes. I love those greens that you've got!Knitting Linguisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289230533275408343noreply@blogger.com
