How To Make Knitting Needles

[lilybay100]

omg i so love you i am a beginner crocheter and your videos have already taught me so much so thank you and keep up the awesome work

Clover makes 9 inch bamboo premium knitting needles. They aren't quite as inexpensive as what you did in the video, but they are the right length. I crochet more than knit, but the 9 inch bamboo knitting needles are the perfect size for scarves. I have the no. 10 1/2 (6.5 mm), which is a perfect size for most scarves.

i do the same thing with chop sticks.

thanks for sharing mikey. Also, you just taught me what that yarn is used for!! I've seen it plenty of times in the yarn store, but never knew what it was for or what to do with it!! Thought it was to make ribbons or something!!! smh. lol.

take care.

I simply use the best chops sticks available at an Asian market called Leelee's they have tons of them, all sizes, clear ones,glass ones,wooden ones bamboo , steel you name it! they work well and they come in all sizes!

@MrsbigfootAZ

I sure wish I could go grab me some!

[notredamske]

hey hun, don't they have this knitting needles with this wire inbetween? because they are short and you just need to cut the wire :)

[rfvfdsa]

You are adorable! Love the "yarn" you are using where did you find it at?

[katzrule34]

They do make shorter needles. 

[specialCraftsandmore]

what dollar store did u get them at?

[teresah1982]

what about if u have metal needles?

[lovelittlecats]

OMG I have that exact pencil sharpener!!!!!!

[plaingal1]

this is great, i was just saying to bf that i wished mine was smaller.. im going to have to look on-line for plastic one. they only sell the metals ones here in the shops.

[addyrain]

Great idea I would have never thought of using a pencil sharpener. Thanks for sharing!

[amreenrahil1]

i loved it

[TheMoondarlin]

this is a great idea and is one of the reasons why I haven't bought any needles is because they are too big, so now I just need to find the plastic ones as I have metal ones and can chop those up. lol

[clogden21]

you can also attach a bead to the other end and get two sets of needles out of one long one.

[clogden21]

I have even used wooden dowels.

[deelightfulco]

Chopsticks work well too.

[effie924]

wonderful idea! you are so sweet to share

[mcwjes]

Silly question. Can I use chopsticks to knit? I know I can use them to eat and they seem the right shape. What do you think?

[dragonnoshinwa]

@mcwjes That's what I did when I taught myself to Knit. I just sharpened the end of the chopsticks i had and they worked like a charm.

[kathleenh188]

[MsTechMommy]

[scredbird]

Love the idea and LOVE YOU Mikey!

[DDbRowN67]

That is a great idea and you have helped me out with a plastic tip that broke..now I know I can reshape it with a pencil sharpener!!! I <3 YOU and your great tips! Thank you!

[SunnyOutlook]

You have the best tutorials. As my daughter would say, "Fantabulous!"

[TheJeannedart]

I use to make my knitting needles smaller. My husband cut them for to the ideal length and I just add a bead on the square end or make my own polymer clay bead for that end. And voila new knitting needles and are unique.

[nicki18229]

[mikeyssmail]

@nicki18229 I picked them up at the Spinrite Tent Sale that is held once a year. They had every size knitting needles for 1 dollar!
