Kanhoro i have seen the LED for kntiting and heard of the hooks, i prefer ones that are better for my hands, instead of the apperince, i rather go with quality or good deal or even efficiency.~ I realy have to ask, how any one needle is better for the hands than any other? I mean with crochet hooks there are ones with padding for the hands, even in the LED ones there are ones with nice hand grips. However a knitting needle regardless of what it is made out of is shaped like.. a knitting needle. Also, being that you've only seen and not used I am not sure that you are fully aware of the quality, if they are prone to bending or breaking is one thing but I must say in all the years that I have done crochet I have never bent or broken a hook from proper use, I have even used cheapy 5/$1 hooks when I was on vacation and left behind some crucial hooks.
If this is about bamboo knitting needle elitism then, whatevs. I prefer a slick hook over wooden ones; I really enjoy a high polished steel hook. If you just think that there shouldn't be fun tools and that everyone should take the craft seriously, also whatevs; I am a child at heart and want to be amused in all the things I do in my free time.
All I really want to know is how the yarn moves over the hooks. They are some sort of plastic but sometimes plastic needles/hooks have seaming that hasn't been trimmed and are catchy when working with them. I want to know if there is seaming and if it is smoothed down; I want to know if the hooks are slick and manouverable, or slippy and uncontrollable? Are they a joy to work with? Do they help in low light like they claim?
Just because they look good doesn't mean that they can't also potentially be a good tool. ~
