clever crafty people are clever and crafty

We have a temporary wall left over in our house from the time we were undergoing renovations. For reasons of SUCKITUDE on the contractor's part, we didn't renew their contract, but they didn't come back to take down the wall.

Now every time I pass by that area, I am stuck by this urge to side-kick the wall (not to be fancy or anything, just less likely to hurt my toes). It would make a satisfying sound, I just know it.



Anyway, to distract me from things I shouldn't be doing, let me post a couple of links to things I would like to check out, but know that realistically I don't have the time for:

• Making and decorating your own DPNs
  
  In particular I think it would be cool to be able to label them as #1, #2, etc, based on the stripe pattern


• Making your own circular needles
  
  I love my Addis, but I am tempted to make a pair of wooden ones with a really dull end for airplane use. If they were confiscated, would that be less painful because it wouldn't have cost much, or would it be more painful because I'd need to make another set from scratch?


• Circular needle holder
  
  Besides the advantage of having the needles cataloged this way, I wonder if this would help relax the cables of some of my circs! I'm currently storing them curled up in their original packaging which means the circulars never have a chance to relax from their original curve...



• Knitting Aid
  
  Uhhh okay random product and not something oriented towards making on your own but it falls under clever and crafty I think!
