Thanks for the links. I may have to try and make some circs soon.

I’ve made my own straight needles (http://toysaregoodfood.com/content/archives/000096.html) and some fun polymer clay ends (http://toysaregoodfood.com/content/archives/000100.html). Hmmm.. perhaps these will be my holiday gifts for my knitgrrls.

Here’s a tutorial I did awhile ago, although mine were larger than my pencil sharpener, so power tools were employed.
