Knitting needles as weapons!

My no. 2 knitting needles had been so used and whittled down, that they started to shred up my fingertips while I was knitting! This time I bought two pair, and my fingertip is finally healing! Ouch!

1. Rub them with very fine sand paper and then wax paper

Should help a bit.

2. I will try that next time.

I didn't mind springing for new ones, since they were less than $2 a set.
