Wire, it’s not just for bras any more

Ok…I still have no progress on the tank. The funk however, does seem to be abating. I got a serious wild hair on Friday and became totally obsessed with wire knitting. I needed to try it and needed to try it RIGHT THEN! Off to Michael’s and Hobby Lobby I went. Would you believe neither of them carries a decent flexible jewelry wire? No matter. I decided to just get what they had and try it anyway.
Let me just say…this wire, definitely not for knitting. After just a couple of minutes my hands were already sore and needles bent. Not only that, but it looked like crap too. Maybe it was just the small needles? Or my impatience? No way to tell except to try again. Different needles, different approach, same result. I even “blocked” the wire a bit and it looked a little better but it still had more kinks than a British pop invasion.

Ever since then, I’ve been scouring suppliers to see where I can get some decent wire to knit with and sell in my store. I have a few prospects, but haven’t made any decisions yet.

Until I can solve the perfect knit wire mystery, I will be knitting my first Noni Bag! These patterns have been so popular that I really need to make one myself so I can be more knowledgeable about the product.  Besides that, all of them are so stinkin’ cute that I don’t think I can go another day without one.  Progress report likely VERY soon
