Square Knitting Needles

http://www.kollageyarns.com/needles.html

At one of my LYS they had square knitting circular needles. I decided to try a pair as I had heard they were for people who had carpal tunnel, arthritis, etc. While I don't have any of those knitting all day can make one's hands and wrists hurt. I got a size 4, came home and cast on a little lace scarf pattern. I knit about 4" and noticed how much I did not hurt. While the connection catches on the yarn, it may be that I only have 52 stitches of sock yarn I am not happy with that. I am going to finish my scarf and try something with more stitches and see how that goes. I have to say I will buy these again in different sizes.
