Hi Everyone:)
I'm new here & hope to make some great new friends.
I wanted to pass along a good idea my husband has come up with.
I told him about making my own wooden needles (from the knittinghelp site) because I like them better, plus it would be much cheaper then paying $10.00 & more for each set & he suggested cutting the dowels with dog nail clippers. It works great !!! Up to a size 10 dowel/needle can be cut with these. I just mark my cutting point & snip the dowel easy as anything. Make sure to get the clippers that have a round cutting edge & slide them onto the dowel where you want to make the cut & snip it right off. It's a nice clean cut. :knitting:
