Home-made Knitting Kneedles

Home-made knitting needlesHere's another of the projects from Kids Knitting by Melanie Falick. I'd never thought of making my own knitting needles before, but it's very simple and fun. They're fun to use as well.

I can recommend the book as it is full of quick funky knitting projects like this. But there are instructions for making your own knitting needles on various websites.

6-year-old Sam helped me make these, and it has inspired him to learn to knit. With the aid of Falick's book he is making good progress, knitting a bean-bag on the needles he made himself.

Those needles look fantastic. Think I'll have a look at that book, looking for things for my 9yr old son to knit. Thank you

These look great! Thanks for the link, I'm really tempted to have a go at the acorn needles.

I'm thinking of groovy things, like the acorns, to put on the end of some of my home-made knitting kneedles. Isn't it funny how Knitting Kneedles start with a K but sewing kneedles start with an N. The English language has a mind of it's own.

Yellow, you use the English language in your own unique way.

Yup, I spell on the edge! What can I say? I'm an artist.
