homemade knitting needlesby quidnunc.org and homemade knitting needlesby the adcock family, handsewn knitting needle case to hold those needles ,and a hat pattern to work on.
japanese link on homemade stuff:
{homemade, handmade} + {knit, knitting}
neat tip i learned from the adcock family's homemade knitting needles:
if you have a broken tipped wooden knitting needle and it is not too damaged, sand it down with sandpaper, using the rough grit to shape the tip (or pencil sharpener for smaller needles, like my US sz. 8 )and then the fine grit to smooth it down (or if you don't have sandpaper just lying around, like me, use emery board nail files in rough grit to shape, fine grit to smooth), and then use wax paper to smooth the wood down and give it a shine. you may notice that the needle that is being refinished maybe slightly shorter and have a duller tip than its original shape; you can always work the other needle to match if you want a perfect set or just leave as is.
good to know. ^_^
