Plastic, aluminum, bamboo...so many choices, which one is best?
Most of the time it depends on your project and your experience. For beginner knitters I suggest bamboo or plastic. They have a bit more grab than the aluminum, making it so you don't loose your stitches quite so easily. Aluminum or steel needles are fantastic once you become comfortable and want to really zoom with your knitting. Aluminum knitting needles are colder, however; so you won't like them if you have cold or arthritic hands. Over time, you will develop a preference. I started out with aluminum knitting needles and that was all I would buy, until I tried wooden ones and bamboo. Now, I save my aluminum ones in case of an emergency-you know-when you have lost one of your knitting needles!
