As someone with a slight “touch thing” from Asperger’s, I’m more likely to work with nice, smooth glass beads or gems or metals, because I just don’t like how rough other things are tactually, plus, don’t like the less-than-quality sense I get from plastic beads (just a personal thing, no offense intended to those who do like working in the plastic mediums). I’m guessing that, although starting with thin wire, I’ll probably gravitate toward threads. I don’t like the sharpness of most beading needles—any suggestions for a suitable needle that would avoid that issue? Also, does anyone travel with their beading stuff? I’m a good one for hating my hands not being busy, so crafting goes almost anywhere I go! Any suggestions for a suitable bag, bin or other traveling receptacle? (For my yarn crafting, I often bring my going project in a 2-gallon Zip-loc bag inside whatever knapsack or tote I’m bringing other necessary stuff in (e.g., my notebook, tea thermal bottle, cane, cough drops  and  recorder for choir rehearsals). Any general suggestions for traveling with said beading paraphernalia? Although taking the cautious approach and being a bit analytical about whether to bead—I am just bursting with enthusiasm and its ensuing research—great to have some more experienced people, so I don’t have to re-invent the wheel! I’ll keep you all posted on progress.
