Just wanted to let everyone know that the "ball of yarn" earrings I wrote
about last week have been a real hit, so I've made a bunch more "balls of
yarn" for earrings, or whatever people want:

Those are great. Have you thought about getting some bamboo skewers
or toothpicks and cutting them down and shoving 2 through 1 earring
ball before they are dried to make the holes, pull out, cure the clay,
then put glue on the skewers and slip them back in to 1 earring as
wooden knitting needles? You'd cross them through the middle of the
"yarn ball" like you see the pewter ball of yarn pendant with needles
poked through it.
Colored toothpicks might be really cute, and with both ends pointed 1
pick might make both needles seeing how small those earrings are next
to that penny.
If they hang funny on an ear, they could always be made a little
larger and worn as a pendant or a lapel pin, like the sock knitters
sometimes make a lapel sock or machine knitters make a tiny sweater
pin to wear to ID themselves to others at meetings.

I have sold quite a few lapel pins of that design (but made with real yarn).
Never thought of earrings, but...thanks for the ideas! <brain churning on

These would also make great stitch markers. I make earrings (for
pierced ears) with lever backs. When I need to mark someplace I now
use my earrings.
