My wonderful husband surprised me this Christmas by making me a set of knitting needles. He bought the dowels, sized them, sharpened the tips, fine sanded them, and finished with a varnish. He then glassed the ends at his surfboard shop in various swirled colors. I love them. I think it was the most thoughtful gift I have ever received. He also made me a mini set of needles to use for a Christmas tree ornament. I can't wait to knit with my new needles! I bet we could sell some on Etsy too.
