You could probably sell a tutorial on how to use them. I knitted an angler fish hat with an LED in the angler's dangle, but the RadioShack battery pack was heavy for a hat. This dead fish hat pattern is addictive due to the wide variations in possible fishes. I'm trying to figure how to knit a hammerhead shark.roxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14916948065233137971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397483.post-27945560685150495302012-06-19T07:26:01.044-05:002012-06-19T07:26:01.044-05:00I'm trying to spin some lace for the TdF as we...I'm trying to spin some lace for the TdF as well. I've managed to get some thing singles but I need them to be thinner to be a 2 ply lace.<br /><br />I'm not sure you'd regret a trilobite tattoo. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't. (but I kind of promised my husband I wouldn't get any more tats)<br /><br />LEDs that you can sew into clothing? I want some.Donna Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877384848664758611noreply@blogger.com
