I think I have collected just about every kind of commercial knitting needle that I can find here in the US. I love my bamboo straight needles but I don't really care for the bamboo cable needles -- the wood to cable link snags on my favorite yarns too much. I like turbo needles, but they are a bit too slick if I haven't used them for a while. I hate the aluminum knitting needles, but I love my aluminum crochet hooks -- go figure? The plastic knitting needles (like baleen) are okay but I still want something better. I still look for the perfect material for needles. I strongly suspect I would absolutely L-O-V-E knitting needles made from ivory, but I haven't sprung for one of those. Have any of you tried ivory and if so, what was your opinion. I realize that elephant ivory is a big no no, but I think you can get them made from Walrus tusk or ???
