    I plan on making more small knitting needles out of wooden dowels & Wood Beads for the end of each one, Crochet a small loop out of each color and hang them on the Christmas Tree as decorations with the Knitting Needles sticking out of them. I also have used these as wrapped gift decorations to my crafty friends, instead of a bow. I would love to try the small coin purse using the Crocodile Stitch. I love them just the way they are the most – the color groups are just gorgeous!!!
