From It's Your Time (#4120)
Knitting Needle ABC's: You may only be familiar with those aluminum needles you can pick up in any general store, and that's fine. They're economical, easy to knit with, the weight is nicely balanced, and they're my preferred everyday needles. I like cool metal against my hand. I did all Bill Cosby's sweaters with metal needles. Silver is my favorite, and I happen to love that homey sounding click of metal needles. But bamboo is my second choice because they're lightweight, very smooth, feel very comfortable in your hand, and come in all sizes. Most importantly, they don't click, which comes in handy when you're knitting while watching TV with your husband and you don't want to annoy him. -- Suss Cousins
