DIY Knitting Needles
I recently learned how to finger knit. I wanted to use regular needles, but it snowed where I live and we couldn't really leave the house. So being home from school, without hot glue and thread (ran out lol) I made my own knitting needles. Sadly, my pictures refuse to upload :( here is a link for the YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkHHdoj4Tw4&feature=youtu.be
Materials
- Wooden Dowels
- Pencil Sharpener
- Knife*
- Clay
- Paint (optional)
Step 1
Take a wooden dowel into the same kind of point as a dull pencil. you can use the pencil sharpener or the knife for this step. Make sure one is sharper than the other (NOT SUPER SHARP. Just as sharp as a gently used pencil lol)
Step 2
Make two clay balls for the end of the needle.
Step 3
Wait until clay is slightly dried to where you can push the sharper needle end without the clay changing shape.
