And of course I have help: And more magnets, tee hee..... Technorati Tags: Handspun lace shawl pattern link , Knitted slippers , glass magnets

Magnet whimsey, good Christmas gifts

Getting a little magnet whimsey into my life. So thanks to Not Martha I found a magnet making tutorial. Now my friends and family have magnets!! Extremely easy, a little messy , very fun!! I found my glass marbles at Michaels, then found nicer larger ones at the Dollar Tree Store in a variety of shapes. Cheapest glue and magnets I found at Walmart . A bit of a mess For my girlfriend that is a pug freek (dog) When redecorating be careful its easy to get toile mania! And of course we all love to knit. It is easy to use photos also, printed on card paper works best for me. Great family gifts. And they are kinda  addictive, the more you make, the more ideas you get. And if you are too busy to make these, many, many people on Etsy make them for a reasonable price, and no fuss or muss. Have fun! Technorati Tags: Glass magnets , Good Christmas gifts

1. That I will actually plan to knit a toilet paper holder. But this sushi one is great. 2. That I will knit a toilet paper holder, no wait, a holder for the whole 6 pack of TP. Ok so I think this could have possibilities. 3. Ditto with knitting the whole family house shoes, this would be with acrylic yarn, probably in a lime green or orange color. But these are cute . 4.  That I will go blind and not be able to knit, no wait I bet I could still knit, well this woman does. 5. I would lose use of my hands, but we all know that little girl that draws with her toes. Is there anybody out there that knits with toes? Oh yeah, just found it on where else You Tube. 6. That I would get the urge to knit a life size Unicorn, or maybe I wouldn't be able to figure out how to knit a life size Unicorn. 7. I would die and someone would not "appreciate" all of the fibery goodness that is in my house. 8. That I could finally manage to figure out how to drive and knit respon
