Handworks Crochet and then Some!

First up,,,, new cut!!!! And I love it! After awhile of dealing with hair that won't curl, won't go up, looks stringy down, hangs in my face, won't "poof" like I like in the back... I decided it was more than time for a change..... 5 inches of less hair bringing me down.... I feel fabulous again! The Bald Man was scared... to say the least. He actually freaked alittle when I showed him how short I wanted it... which was about 2 inches shorter than I got. My wonderful hair stylist, Todd, recommended this length... since I still need it long enough to go into a pony tail... for all my fake hair I love to wear! lol! Bald Man Loves the hair sooo much though... and doesn't understand why I waited to get it cut?? hmmmm.... Weird Obsession Continues.... This is soooo cute! From 1963! The Kenner Knit o matic!! It came in box, complete with ALL its original accesories.. including the yarn! Gotta love ebay! Right!!!! Look how cute.... it works and everything!! New New L...

I got really side tracked from my jeans Friday. This cute knitting machine I won from ebay came in the mail. Its much like the Barbie Knit Magic knitting machine from Mattel made in 1974. This is like the knock-off version I think. It quickly knits little tubes... to make Barbie clothes. How cute is that! I don't want to make Barbie clothes... but I have found a number of projects using this for 'grown folk'! I was on ebay looking at knitting machines when I found it. You see, I love yarn!!! I love knit and crochet items!! But I don't like to knit or crochet. I have learned the basics and can knit and crochet some ... but it takes FOREVER!!! Its not a process I enjoy. I know, I know... many knitters think knitting machines are cheating... but I don't care! I want soft yarn clothing items made by me that don't take SO long! See how the little tube comes out... I can't get over how nice and tight the stitches are! Not one skipped stitch! In less than an hour ...
