Entry: knitters Broach Monday, January 30, 2006



Tee hee. . .

I think these are just WAY TOO CUTE.  But I can be a bit of a sap.  I've seen them around a few places, and then Isabelle made a half dozen or so different coloured ones and I was coveting them.  So I finally sat down and tried.

HAHAHAHAH, I actually made miniature knitting needles out of toothpicks and beads. and then knit with the toothpicks using sock yarn.  I cant get over how cute then are. I sewed a little pin to the back so you can pin it on your lapel or your knitting bag, or whatever.  

Heres another pic to show you how small it is, I am holding it.

Wow, so cute.  I think I need to make a dozen or so of these and mail them out to my favorite knitters!!  This first one is going to a very special knitter.  Ruth Anne is my best friends mom and she knitted me the best scarf EVER.  Is just simple pink garter stitch with lovely fringe.  But it has the best knitter vibes ever, and it makes me feel happy when I wear it.  So I'm going to drop this first pin in the mailbox for her tomorrow.  More to come.....
