I've just been given 2 pairs of bamboo knitting needles. Having tried to use them and finding it quite difficult to move the stitches along whilst knitting I am wondering why they seem to be advertised so much in the knitting magazines and am I doing something wrong. Are they used for specific yarns or should I be able to knit any yarn on the required sizefor the project.

I have arthritis in my hands and find bamboo needles too "resistant" as I knit rather quickly. I love plastic pearl needles, light and easy-glide. I bought them first in the USA but the are available in UK and on line.
