LATE Sunday AM, etc, and a *wanted* "ad"....
Hi
Sounds like you had a good day yesterday even through the ozone levels were very high. I just dropped in for a few minutes this morning to say Hi to everyone before heading out to the airport and off the Calgary again. This is going to be a crazy week as my schedule is 12 hours a day in the office. Hopefully each evening I will get a bit of crocheting done. Sorry can't help you with the needles but hopefully someone else will.

I don't think you'll find needles that small in anything except steel. Better start whittling! +++++++++++++ Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET.

On Sun, 11 Jun 2006 14:56:36 GMT, Wooly spun a fine yarn
I don't think you'll find needles that small in anything except steel. Better start whittling! Y'know, if DH or I had a MINI lathe, I or he WOULD make my 000's, and THEN, I'd prolly make 'em out of ASH or some other strong, strong wood..... Anybody got one and willing?????

Last winter, I made a bunch of little wooden cable stitch holders last
winter that were about 000 or and maybe 3" long. They all ended up breaking or just not being stiff enough to really work well. Woods tried included ash (I wanted the cable needle to "snag" and not fall out!) bamboo, birch, black walnut, olive, and dogwood. Did you really give stainless steel a honest try? It has a lower thermal conductivity than steel or aluminum so it feels much warmer, and it is nonmagnetic. At that small diameter, stainless steel really does not feel that heavy. If weight *is* still an issue, we could go to stainless steel tubing and really get the weight down. (I.e., 0.5 inch long solid tips with 5" of tubing between them could be very light weight. EG Another way of dealing with the weight of steel needles is a *knitting sheath*. Knitting sheaths can be set up to even take very short, curved DPN for knitting miniatures. They can be adjusted to support the work at a comfortable level. And nothing knits faster than steel needles with a knitting sheath! Knitting sheaths even allow you to knit socks on long DPN without it feeling like you have a handful of wild spiders or mating porcupines on your lap. The steel needles have a spring to them that does half the work. you start the stitch and the spring of the needle finishes the stitch. It is like "pushbutton" knitting. Maybe what you need is steel needles and a wooden knitting sheath? (On the other hand long DPN are very dangerous!) Wood is much stronger than steel on a weight for weight basis. However, steel is much stronger on a volume for volume basis. At 000, you are getting down to the point where you need the strength per volume of steel or stainless steel.

Why? Angle of the tip? Tip too sharp? Too slippery? Do you have other
needles of the same size that you do like? Maybe you just do not like knitting tiny, tiny stitches : ) If the tip is too slippery ( and many commercial are) texture them with some 1000 grit emery paper. That often helps. Your fingers will not feel a difference, but the yarn will. Aaron "Katherine" wrote in message ... You know, I am prettyu sure that my tiny, tiny needles are stainless steel. I really don't like working with them, and only use them when I absolutely must.
