Knitting needles as hairsticks???

[Patrycja]

Thanks Delila for posting your technique. I'm definitely going to try this.

You're welcome!

It works as well to bend it around a shower curtain rod, or the rod in the closet, depending on the space you want to have between the tines.

A washcloth and a bandanna work equally well, IMO, depending on what's available.

I use the spare needle often.. not to hold the hair, but as an extra stick next to whatever is in, or against it, just as a way to get ti out of the way while my knitting is set down for a few.. otherwise, I use short metal DPN's as sticks in my cloth slides, and I sometimes bend them as mentioned here.. but mostly my hair toys are seperate from my knitting tools.

I actually thought when I read the title, that you meant using the wooden knitting needles as hairsticks (they work well too, when shortened)

I am putting up my hand as another reccomendation fot the bent-in-half dpn's, they are nearly all I use now

I found some nice rosewood knitting needles. I'll try to find a link. I always check out yarn shops.
I also have some lantern moon ebony and maple ones.
I'll look for the rosewood ones name.

What a fabulous idea! I have some of these small double-pointed needles that I purchased one day when I thought I would get enthusiastic about knitting (I gave up about half-way through a sock), and now I know what to do with them.

You ladies are just so clever!

I have rosewood, bamboo and ebony double-pointed knitting needles. They tend to fall out of my slippery, fine 1a hair, but they are very kind, and I do recommend them. I broke an ebony, though.

Seriously, the inventiveness of the ladies on this site never ceases to amaze me. I get the feeling that a lot of you walk around all day thinking "Hmm, I wonder what else I can stick in my hair?"

All right, I guess I'm off to Wal-Mart. Darn you!

my rosewood's are brittany's (brand).. I have had them a long time.. non DPN's are TOO long for me in most cases, and so are many of my DPN's for longterm use at least right now.

I do this! They work and look nice and simple.
