Sharp knife or pencil sharpener. Briwax, beeswax or whatever hard
furniture polish you have handy.

Hi Shirley. Wood needles are easy to make. You can buy dowel at the
hardware store, cut to whatever length you like, sharpen and sand with
progressively finer paper. Wax and knit.

New to knitting.... is there a need to put a "stopper" on the end? If
so, what do you use? How do you sharpen them? My DGSs school is
having a craft fair in early December and they teaching knitting,
crochet, and cross stitch as part of the curriculum. They only use
natural fibers and wood or bamboo hooks and needles. Sounds like an
inexpensive way to supplement the school's income and encourage the
knitting.

What do you use to wax them?

Thanks so much for the neat idea....
