need input on new needles please!
I drove myself crazy trying to find my lovely 10-1/2 wooden DPNs for
several days to do some I-cords. I finally got the bright(??) idea of
cutting my own out of the right-sized dowel (1/4-inch), which I did. I
presume it's pine. Anyway, I got 4 quite decent DPNs from the dowel
with nice points.
I am looking for suggestions for finishing them---not sure whether to
use polyurethane, tung oil (and if so, how dilute and with what),
butcher's wax, whatever. Input, please? Thanks guys!
Oh-- One more thing--how would you suggest I mark the size on them?
(or on ANY of my wooden ones, for that matter).
