Susan Bates Crystalite Needles

I have to admit that the first pair of Susan Bates Crystalite needles I bought were because of the pretty colour.  But I was quickly impressed by the smooth, light-weight needles that weren’t so long as to be unwieldy, and not so short as to not be practical. 

If you’re looking for a set of straight needles for your knitting bag that are a bit more showbiz to look at but still practical to use then I definitely recommend a set of Susan Bates Crystalites.  They give me an extra sense of pleasure and satisfaction whenever I use them.  Remember that it’s great to knit amazing things, but knitting is so much more about the journey than the destination.  These colourful needles add such warmth to that knitting-journey!
