Your Choice in Circulars?

A comment on my previous post via Michelle prompted this post.

Love the colorway on the neckwarmer. Looks gorgeous!!! Interesting story about the SB plastic circulars. I usually am an Addi snob, but recently started switching, with some fibers, to Clover bamboos. I think they’re my new faves.

I have a pair (it always feels wierd calling circular needles a “pair” as its one unit) of Clover bamboo circular needles, and I’m sort of iffy about them. The cable is fine - a simple plastic - but I find the join snags a bit. I’m also a tight knitter, so it’s probably more my knitting and less the needles. It’s a pretty smooth join except my stitches hug tight against the needles.

I will admitt to a bit of snagging with the Susan Bates circulars, but it’s less noticeable than on the Clover needles. I’ve never had problems with snagging on Addi Turbos, or my Knit Picks Options either (only have two needle sets and one cable set for these).

What are your needle preferences? Any I haven’t mentioned that I should check out?
