New Knitting Needles

I bought myself a pair of Addi Turbos for my birthday. Everybody tells me they are the best needles they have ever used, they love them, they make knitting so easy.

I hate them. They are slippery. They seem to drop stitches of them own volition. Yes, they are warmer than the usual metal needles, but whatever. I hate them so much that I'm considering sending them back and buying a couple of pairs of bamboo needles just because they don't seem to want to slide out of my hands all the time. I cannot sympathize with people who love that feeling at all. Though it does explain why so many of my knitting friends complain about always dropping stitches. Hey, if you used less slippery needles, that might be less of a problem, you know?

Of course, in the mean time I have started knitting a shawl on them, so I am sort of stuck if I don't buy a set of needles right now to replace them.
