I really like the Harmony wood needles. I am very, VERY thankful I bought a set of interchangeables a few years ago. I had to rebuy a few tips when the size I needed had wandered off somewhere, but they've more than paid for themselves.
And YAY GO YOU! I think you'll really enjoy this project. Is it knit bottom up or top down? If you're not sure about the stranded, do a pair of easy stranded mittens to start. I'm about to cast on a pair of Norwegian ones for the rav Stranded group KAL for fall. Well, I'll cast on when I have a couple other projects completed. But that'll get you used to the stranded on something small and finite before you get to the yoke. or even a pair of wristlets if mittens are too much of a pain.
Honestly though, just going slowly and making sure I took frequent breaks got me through my first mitten, as well as the Bohus wristlet. I need to finish the second of each, but I'll ge tto them. Some day.
This entire comment meandered. Short version - go you. Yay knitting!
