hahahahahahahahaha weird question but PLEASE ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

My daughter's are always getting splinters in their feet or hands. I soak a needle in alcohol or run it thru a candle or lighter flame then wipe with a cottonball soaked in alcohol.

I have about 150+ sewing needles, 50+ knitting needles and another 40-50+ crochet hooks. I keep them all clean so whatever I'm working with doesn't get soiled.

Answer 2

my mother sews all the time and when hers get dirty she soaks them in bleach and cleans them so dont worry your not the only one. =)

Answer 3

I don't sorry hehe

Answer 4

Mine is strictly a working collection.  I have a half-dozen needles I use for hand-sewing.  When they get dirty, and they occasionally do when I've been sewing through something sticky like self-stick Velcro, I clean them.  I generally use a piece of cotton ball dipped in rubbing alcohol.  It takes goo and stick 'em off metal surfaces with no work at all.

Answer 5

I have lots of beading needles. It's like a sewing needle, just much thinner (I lose them all the time - It's not too fun finding them either, if you know what I mean).

I use them to sew with beads (like, Seed Beads) and I think it's a calling :) (I've Beaded flowers!!!!) (seriously)

Ohh, I knit too! Lots of those needles - but, strangely I never have the right size :)

Answer 6

maybe a junkie?

Answer 7

I have a collection of Knitting needles and I clean those. It is a great idea to keep your needles clean no matter what kind they are way better than constantly buying new ones, use them to their fullest , if they still work.

Answer 8

ewww, yeah i clean my needles and hooks.
