I still consider myself somewhat of a recent knitter and while I’ve tried a few materials I’ve not quite settled on any particularly. I got the cheapest set of interchangeable needles I could get locally (KnitPro Trendz) which is acrylic and I already had to buy a spare because I broke one needle when I accidentally sat on it 😂

Now that I’m realizing knitting in the round is kinda my thing (as I’ve not touched a regular needle since getting said set) I’m wondering if it’d be worth to upgrade and if a change in material would improve my knitting experience at all?

I’d love to read any input and/or recommendations from more experienced knitters :)

I have KnitPro, Lantern Moon and Chiaogoo sets available locally.

    Ooh that’s a great idea as I can get fixed circulars. I’ve read good things about the Karbonz in the smallest sizes. I currently use a US 1 (2.25mm) wood fixed circular for knitting socks and it’s ok, but I feel the tip is a bit blunt, not pointy enough to really get into the yarn.
