The needle got sticky and would get stuck while I tried to sew it on. Later, I think I read on the package that it wasn't supposed to be used to sew on!<BR/><BR/>Sew Piper Sew!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-112160252924952787.post-62544915650281336972009-03-21T08:55:00.000-04:002009-03-21T08:55:00.000-04:00I am not a DPN fan.

However, there is a technique called the magic loop method that has me happily doing all my otherwise DPN tasks without the tears, heartache, and dropped needles. I highly recommend giving that a shot. There are tons of videos on YouTube that clearly show you how to do it. <BR/><BR/>And major congrats on the knitted scarf - it's so beautiful!<BR/><BR/>And doubleplusgood on the sewing!! You're doing an amazing job!

My daughter's Girl Scouts troop earned their fabric arts badge recently, and one of the projects they did was sewing fleece chemo caps for a local children's hospital. Something like that might be easy and fun for Pi. <BR/><BR/>I love the bibs - very cute! And I'm amazed and how you've just jumped right into knitting and sewing, and are doing so well already. I'd love to learn how to do both, but honestly, both scare me, ha, ha! I can't even figure out how to cast on in knitting, and I can't even cut a straight line on a piece of paper, so I can't imagine being able to cut out pieces for a pattern without mangling them!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615627617811272007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-112160252924952787.post-66240511051509624202009-03-18T11:28:00.000-04:002009-03-18T11:28:00.000-04:00I love that Pi is so into sewing too!

I can totally see my kids being interested in sewing, but I just don't trust a 3 and 5 yr old and pointy needles... maybe in a year or so!Andrea Moberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13557654254960169721noreply@blogger.com
