Purchased to carry into a stadium
I figured that bamboo needles would have a better chance of passing the search guards at our local football stadium. I was all prepared for them to go through my bag, needles, yarn, counter and tape measure plus my ID. However, as I walked through the arches I didn't set off any beeps so there was no need for a search. One just never knows. I have a neck-down sweater on the needles right now. Very comfortable handling 182 stitches for 12-15 inches of the body.
