If you have any wooden dowels laying around, you could make your own. Just cut them to length (if they the one yard length) sharpen an end with a pencil sharpener and sand. Pencils or pens would probably not be a good idea as you would get lead or ink on your work.

I thought about those (skewers) too. Those should really work, they are already sharpened but they probaby will need to be sanded a little so that they won't snag, also the sharpened edge may need to be dulled down. I remember those things are really sharp. You don't want to shish kabob your fingers. And so that your work won't slide off the other end, just add a rubber band or better yet glue on a bead, then you would have stylish needles. Happy
