New knitting needles.

I have been tinkering a bit, making some home made knitting needles.  Not exactly high tech, it's two chopsticks, with a little work on the tip, sanding, painting, if needed (to get some of the gouges corrected), and a finial.  Well, I was looking in some of my beads the other day, and found these chicken beads.  And some egg beads.

So, after a bit of help from Husband, (I wasn't exactly sure how to drill a hole in the bottom of the bead so it would be even), I came up with some Chicken Knittin' needles.  There are also 2 egg beads, that I am thinking I might dye brown.  Then again, I might not.

But, it does answer that great philosophical question.  In this case, the chicken came before the egg!

 

(And are you amazed? Yes, Virginia, I was able to load a picture!  Will miracles never cease?)

What fun needles! Those will be conversation starters when you use them in public, i'm sure.
