After a DAGS, SWMBO bought some needles from this place in Nova Scotia:

is happy with them.
She's also looking for alternate sources, perhaps someone who doesn't advertise on the web. Is there anyone here who does that kind of work or knows of someone who does? You can respond here or email.
AFARC, needles are tough, due to the exact sizing needed. I've done a couple more my SWMBO, but they were difficult to get to the exact size she wanted
I should have done my own research. I hadn't done it, but she had tried, and came up with very few - at least in Canada. But you're right, even a Youtube video on how to make them.
Last night I saw a package of bamboo skewers at Walmart. They were about 14" long and pointed. I guess you could put your own counter weight on the non-pointy end...
Package of 100: $1.00.
Complain about Chinese products all you want, but I figure they know how to make hand-held sticks.
Apparently the performers wear these In Sasha Baron's new Bruno movie, don't know. the blogger could be off base too. I will keep tabs on this now that you brought it up because it is interesting

Global Warming to Speed Up as Carbon Levels Show Sharp Rise By Geoffrey Lean The Independent UK
Sunday 15 January 2006
Global warming is set to accelerate alarmingly because of a sharp jump in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Preliminary figures, exclusively obtained by The Independent on Sunday, show that levels of the gas - the main cause of climate change - have risen abruptly in the past four years. Scientists fear that warming is entering a new phase, and may accelerate further.
But a summit of the most polluting countries, convened by the Bush administration, last week refused to set targets for reducing their carbon dioxide emissions. Set up in competition to the Kyoto Protocol, the summit, held in Sydney and attended by Australia, China, India, Japan and South Korea as well as the United States, instead pledged to develop cleaner technologies - which some experts believe will not arrive in time.
The climb in carbon dioxide content showed up in readings from the US government's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, taken at the summit of Mauna Loa, Hawaii. The measurements have been taken regularly since 1958 in the 11,400ft peak's pristine conditions, 2,000 miles from the nearest landmass and protected by unusual climatic conditions from the pollution of Hawaii, two miles below.
Through most of the past half-century, levels of the gas rose by an average of 1.3 parts per million a year; in the late 1990s, this figure rose to 1.6 ppm, and again to 2ppm in 2002 and 2003. But unpublished figures for the first 10 months of this year show a rise of 2.2ppm.
Scientists believe this may be the first evidence that climate change is starting to produce itself, as rising temperatures so alter natural systems that the Earth itself releases more gas, driving the thermometer ever higher.
What a bunch of hokum. The summit is above (and is a part of) an active volcano that is building a new island. It is producing massive amounts of CO2 and other complex chemical mixes. And the latest jump is the Big island is moving away from the the hot spot. Island making in the process. The next in a large series from before or the time of Midway.
