Sometimes the hardest part of sewing for me is getting the needle threaded. This time I did without any help. Thanks goes to Diana for some inspiration. Taken with a Canon 60mm USm Macro lens. Type L for a better view.

They're getting smaller (oldest is on left through newest on right)! They're all made on the same 2.5mm hook from size 10 thread held double. I don't know if my gauge is changing from the way I'm working them or if there is that much difference between different brands of thread.
(I am making a bunch because I also make them for the co-hosts.)
Do y'all still worry about nuclear annihilation? I remember watching Threads when I were but a young balloon and having terrible trouble sleeping for many nights after - though that was 1984 and the USSR was still with us with all its associated Cold War madness. But it was never really being obliterated that was the concern: it was more having to survive afterwards, what with the bleak desolation, irradiated food, mutant rabbits, and the inevitability of the Zombocalypse following the Nuclear one. Been a while since I worried about all that. Except for the rabbits and the zombies, of course.
Oh, the flowers look like missiles launching or exploding, y'see. Hence the stream of consciousness.

The Thread through the Needle reads “If you get lost just stop and ask for directions”
thread spools, knitting spools, tins of pins, little sewing dolls, vintage box fasteners.
The actual name for these colourful spool knitters? .....we have discovered that they are made in Germany where they are called Strickliesel (singular) or Stricklieseln (plural).
Here's a collection of gorgeous photographs of pastel colored threads. It is amazing to me how artful these photographers have made something so seemingly simple and common. They amaze me. These photographs are the property of the photographers linked to below. Enjoy!

It wasn't until I had converted this shot to mono that I noticed that the "threads" stood out as much as they do.

This was one I didn’t use for MM. It took me longer to use the tool and get it thru the eye of the needle than it did to actually take the shot!! Port old eyes
