I hadn't even thought you could make dpns on your own! Makes a lot of sense,
and would ease a lot of "issues" surrounding lost needles!

Those light-up knitting needles would be OK, but they only come in the
bigger sizes right now.
I personally like my own glow in the dark needles, which I've got all
the way down to size US 0.

I already crochet in the dark - how about a crochet hook with a built-in mp3
player or AM/FM tuner?? A talking GPS read-out so I can navigate strange
cities? An altimeter? A biorhythm or horoscope diviner? How about one which
correctly identifies the what kind of yarn I'm using - alpaca, merino,
acrylic, and what color it is?

It's a cute idea, but in reading the fine print, which says: batteries last
48 hrs, each pair of needles requires SIX batteries. A pack of 3 batteries
cost $2.49 US, so $5.00 a pair. That's approx $6.00 Canadian. No thanks.
Too expensive for me, not to mention the initial purchase price. I really
hope there's an on/off switch on those needles. ;)

Dang! I could so use those--except that I never knit with SPNs.

I use kids for all that stuff. They have sharp eyes and boundless energy -
just a matter training them.

If you do not have a full set of your own, you can always rent!! Mostly we
just get real nieces and nephews. But, my wife is "Antie" to a lot of kids
of friends. Get to be friends with the right families, and there will be
"nieces and nephews" prepositioned almost anywhere you want to travel. What
is the cost? A little individual attention.

*grin* Have you trained yours to be up and working at 5:00a.m.? The urge to
crochet hits at different unpredictable times. My mother used to tease us
kids about getting a new mother at the mother shop - there should be a
sister business the Niece & Nephew Store. (And no my brother & sister don't
have kids, nor do I.)

Do not tell them there is *work* to be done. Tell them there are games to
be played, breakfast to be eaten (let them cook), and fun to be had.


Blood does not matter. Technically, I have only 3 nieces and nephews. But,
there are over 3 dozen kids that call me "Uncle." Mostly they are actually
descended from brothers of my DW's grandfather. What matters is that there
kids out there that would like someone to talk to at 5 am.

I want needles that tell me what the gauge is with the yarn I'm using.
