Love your WIPs! The Lilly blouse is stunning and the pim pom shawl is super cute. Might be tempted to make my first shawl 😁

[@bymwu]

Haha the Pimpom shawl would be a GREAT first shawl!! And thank you for your sweet words! :)

[@juliab.871]

You can use sandpaper to refresh your cedar wood rings

[@bymwu]

OOOH good tip! I’ll definitely try that! Thank you Julia :)

[@elleandish]

i have 4 sets of interchangeables 😅 wood shorties, metal shorties, bamboo regular, metal regular

[@bymwu]

Hahah. When I said that a knitter doesn't need 3 sets doesn't mean a knitter won't USE more :P The 4 that you have def sound like each have a very specific use case and therefore I would argue that you need them all 😉

Bravo

I prefer knitting on metal straight needles as the stitches move nice and smoothly, plus my set comes in gorgeous metallic colours. I'm currently using 8mm which are purple like a Cadbury chocolate wrapper (do you have Cadbury in Canada? lol). Your alder sweater is stunning! My jaw literally dropped when you held it up!

[@bymwu]

We do have Cadbury in Canada! And I know exactly what colour you're talking about (so gorgeous!!!) I've always loved the look of metallic coloured needles! And thank you for the sweet words on the Alder Sweater!!

[@QueensYarnBoutique]

Your projects look amazing. I really like your Lilly Blouse! 🧶

[@bymwu]

Thank you!!! :) I would really recommend checking the blouse out once the pattern is released if you’re interested!

[@jennyjiang8002]

I can show you a bind off technique that similar to Italian bind off look but easy to ripoff if needed😊

[@bymwu]

Okay!! Next time I’m over :)

Metal (Chiaogoo) for most projects. Laminate wood with metal tips (Knitter's Pride Royales - Sadly discontinued) for very slippery yarn, and sometimes just for a change of pace. I also have a set of metal Addi interchangeables. They were my first interchangeable set and these days I mostly use them in blanket projects so that my preferred needles aren't tied up in years' long projects. But I don't need three sets, really, and would give up the Addis if I needed to make a choice.

[@bymwu]

Metal chiaogoos are so lovely! If I didn't already have my bamboo set I def would have splurged and gotten those!! I will say I am kind of eyeing their shorties :) Sounds like you have a purpose for each set!!

[@Blaize24]

@@bymwu I've heard good things about the shorties. I can't use them - the way I hold needles they end up causing me real pain and damage - but people I know who can really love them.
