I enjoyed reading about the idea of making bobbins with dowels and pony beads. When we moved from Holland to the U.S. in 1984 I could not get bobbins quickly and was unfamiliar with the sources, so my DH made some for me out of pony beads and dowels!! Of course I eventually found more of the type I used in Holland. Many years later I got them out to make wire lace. We made them shorter and put an eye screw in the end of the dowel on top and drilled a tiny hole in the side to anchor the wire. They are perfect!
