Lykke Needles Update (1)

In November, I wrote a review of the new Lykke needles. I really liked them, though I will admit a personal preference for the aluminum Flight needles over the birch Driftwood needles. It's hard not to focus on the needle that I now want to use to knit every. future. dishcloth. ever.

However, I may have scribed the Driftwood needles a short shrift. Some beta testers found a cosmetic flaw in the initial/beta release of the aluminum Flight needles, so they have been sent back to the factory. This unfortunately means that my review is far less helpful than I would like it to be.

I've been knitting with the Driftwood needles to fill in the gaps. I do actually like them quite a bit. They are very smooth and very easy to knit with. So coming soon, a dedicated Driftwood review.
