Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

) and the wood holds the stitches on while allowing them to slide a little. Make sure your wooden needles are polished occasionally (mineral oil or baby oil occasionally rubbed on cleaned needles works great) and they'll feel wonderful in your hands.
! Once the needles are sanded nicely, glue a button (or bead or make a cap with oven bake clay or use an acorn cap or whatever you'd like) to the non-sharp end -- this will keep the stitches from sliding off. Once the glue is dry, oil your needles -- making sure to rub the oil in completely as you don't want oil on your yarn. And you're all set. My kids loved making these last year!
