Square needles easier on the hands?
I haven’t yet tried working with square needles, but the word is that they’re easier on your hands than traditional round ones. If you can’t indulge in as much knitting or crocheting as you’d like due to pain, stiffness or arthritis, they may be worth looking into.
Kollage Yarns offers square knitting needles (DPNs and circulars as well as straights) and crochet hooks. The company claims that besides comfort, you also get more uniform stitches with their square offerings.
Have you tried square needles, from this or another company? If so, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Were you able to work faster, easier, longer? How was your finished product?
