Aluminum needles work well with plarn also, but are a bit heavy and cold for my comfort. For wood, I recently discovered Knit Picks Harmony needles and it's been love at first knit. Hope this helps.

What kind of needle did you use/find easier to use. I've heard the plastic doesn't stick to wooden needles, but the wooden ones brake easier when knitting with the plastic. What would you recommend?JPaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02365753589359375650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105163102315987485.post-52856971286377151522010-05-24T05:09:48.131-06:002010-05-24T05:09:48.131-06:00Oh! that was one of the beautiful groceries bag I&...Oh! that was one of the beautiful groceries bag I've ever seen. so cute!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myayala.com/shop/categs.asp?k=Groceryphilippines&categ_id=667" rel="nofollow">grocery philippines</a>mikeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04134869661489506376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105163102315987485.post-87377548186038764352010-01-11T01:02:25.827-07:002010-01-11T01:02:25.827-07:00Your blog keeps getting better and better!

I would like to ask permission to use your pattern for a knitting circle fundraiser that my mom and I would like to put together for Gorge Grown. The project is still up in the air since I'm not sure how many folks in our little community will want to commit to participate, but if we have enough people (10 ppl tops) we want to ask for a $10 donation to take the "class." All proceeds go to GGFN to help keep their doors open in this time of economic hardship. Please feel free to contact me at johannawyers@gmail.com, and/or find out more about GGFN at www.gorgegrown.com<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>JohannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105163102315987485.post-19535482699224871592008-08-12T11:01:00.000-06:002008-08-12T11:01:00.000-06:00Hi, Did a google search for a knitted bag using re...Hi, Did a google search for a knitted bag using recycled plastic grocery bags, and of all that I found I think yours is the easiest.<BR/>I am sending this message as my sister-in-law, is a teacher for fourth grade students,last year they started enrichment classes for a certain number of weeks in the fall and winter. Her hope this year was to do something with recycling/reusing in mind as well as a craft, as she was telling me about this I immediately thought of this project that I had heard about and had a pattern for, however I lost the pattern and in my research, found yours, which I think would be perfect for these kids to do if they so choose. My Sister-in-law is very excited, not only would they be learning something enriching ( knitting ) but most important they would be reusing a throw away material. <BR/>So I am sending this message, to make sure that if this were a project that these kids choose to do, would it be alright to print out this pattern to perhaps 20 to 40 children. my name is Jodie and my email is fishhouse4@aol.com, please let me know how you feel about this venture.
