I agree, wood is much safer. Mine is brass and I am concerned about accidentally having the needle hit it.

Those lobster forks look a little too pointy for me. I would also be afraid that my kitties would get stuck with them. I us a double pointed bamboo knitting needle.

IMO, I'd stick with a tool that has one small point. Skewers are good. I have the little wooden stick that comes in a bag of loose polyfill.

Great idea!

I like Clovers blue handled stiletto because it has a rounded point and is a little shorter. It works well with my small hands.

Buy some lobsters or crab instead! I use a porcupine quill, when I can find it. Better than anything else!

I use my "Purple Thang" or my seam ripper. :)

Me, too. :)

I think they would be too sharp for me. I tend to not look at things real carefully when I'm grabbing them in a hurry. I use an embossing tool that other people would use when making cards (which I don't do). DH & Ds got it for me years ago when they thought I needed a different hobby. You see how that turned out

I use 'orange sticks' from beauty shop supplies. Works great.
