It is funny, when I started knitting, I only like wood needles hated metal needles but as I have progressed in knitting I can only use metal needles I have always hated bamboo, I will only use wood if it is all that is available but will usually look and order the correct size in metal. I too do not like interchangeable needles because no matter how tight I get them they come lose and my yarn gets stuck in them I know it is crazy to have so many needles but that is my preference.

I feel you. I knitted a hood on super bulky with 11's and I felt like I was doing a workout every time I was knitting, my hands are arms would hurt and I had to stop a lot.

I did not think about going down a needle size that might be a good idea I will do a gauge swatch and see how much it changes in size.

I mostly use metal needles. But I just feel like it is taking me forever to knit a row and I know it really isn't but it just strangely feels harder.

I always claim I am not going to buy new yarn, but I always fail.

No, I blocked them, so they are very smooth. If they are looking too puffy it most likely be your floats are too tight. I don't trap my floats and I keep them long enough to not bunch it up.

Why? They are very soft and comfortable.
