I home today with a new plumber. This one comes very highly recommended by a man that my husband has worked with for a dozen years. He just showed up a few minutes ago and I like him already.
So the plumber is down in the crawl space dinkering around with the hot water heater. I make myself comfortable on the couch and cozy up with my traveling scarf. As I start to knit, my needles keep snagging on the yarn...what the hell? I can't knit. The damn yarn keeps sticking--yes, sticking--to the bamboo needles. Upon closer inspection, it appears that someone--I assume it was a 6-and-three-quarters-year-old girl, but I'm just guessing--tried to "sharpen" my bamboo knitting needles with the pencil sharpener.
I'm not real sure how I feel about that yet. I must admit that I am ever so slightly amused. (Think eensy weensy teeny tiny amusement.)
Anyone else had their needles sharpened for them?

Oh. my.
You can probably fix them by sanding them to your preferred point then rubbing with some candle wax to smooth out.
Yiiiiiikes......
Hmmm.
I can see the temptation, but no, The boy has steered clear of my needles, other than to use the long straights as 'under the couch clearers".
5 is right. Give them a sanding and then rub them. Even with your fingers should do the trick (natural oils and all that).
