For Your Review: New Sock Needles!

I just picked up some Hiya Hiya double-pointed needles and I love them! They are only 6 inches long - perfect for socks. They are the first stainless steel needles I've ever had. They are super light and smooth! My stitches are just flying. The brand name and size are printed on the sides of the needles. In my experience, that doesn't last forever, but it's still a nice feature.

The tips are pointy enough for decreases, but don't make me fear for my life, which is always a good thing. These are size 1's - I need some size 2's, as well.

What are your very favorite needles for socks? I feel like I'm old-fashioned for still loving double-points, but I can't help it.
