The next batch

Here is the next batch of wigs.  Want one or two?  Send an email to knitwigs@yahoo.com.  If I send you a wig, you are responsible to have fun with it and to send me photos to post on this page.  Remember - only G-rated photos for all audiences, please!

Another shout out


So I'm friends on Facebook with a few of the gals who have wigs.  I sent out another plea.  Please send me photos or return your wig.

Maybe some people just don't get it.  Maybe some people threw out their wigs that I spent time crafting - picking the right color combinations from my odds and ends, trying to create something of beauty from something that was sitting at the bottom of the yarn stash basket, something . . .

And then, I received this set of photos:













I think the one with the waitress is my favorite.  That's so cool that she wanted to get in on the act.   (I hope they left her a nice tip.)

My faith in humanity and all things silly has been restored.  Life is good.

Taking a break

I happened across an unbelievable yarn find at a yard sale while in New York for Memorial Day Weekend.  I took a break from wigs and knitted 3 baby blankets for friends.

Now that is done, it's back to wigs.

Yes, I look at what others are making in the knitting group and dream of one day knitting something more than just wigs.  But, I still have a mass of old yarn to use up so I'm sticking to the goal of using up all the old yarn before buying new yarn for new projects.

Reaching out

I sent an email to everyone who was in possession of a wig and asked them to

1) please have their photo taken wearing the wig while doing an everyday activity and email it to me

OR

2) return the wig to me so that I can try an enlist others in the fun.

I received these two photos:

















This is what I'm looking for.  Action shots of people doing every day ordinary activities wearing a knitted wig.  And, people, remember it's a wig not a hat.

Not really what I was looking for . . .

And, in lieu of a real person wearing a wig, I was able to snap these very nice photos of a stuffed gator wearing a wig.  Not really what I wanted but a photo of a wig is a photo of a wig.  I'll accept it.
