Snippy

I made these scissors for my hairstylist, Jeannie, who has made my hair multi-coloured since 1993:


The scissor's finger rings were crocheted around two plastic bone rings, and a heart-shaped safety nose acts as the joint. These yarn scissors don't actually move, but a Sharpie pen on yellow paper creates animated wonders!

Snip snip!

  2. Holly, I'm no genius, but the scissors lead to a presentable haircut, at least! ;)

    I love your berrysprite blog, which is a perfect combination of beautiful crochet and beautiful photography!

  4. Hi June, thanks for the encouragement! I'm a photo newbie as well as a crochet newbie, and it has been fun to combine the two interests :)

    I've been admiring your planetjune blog since the autumn, when I marveled over the texture of the perfect pumpkin you made!

  7. Thanks Christina! I used to wonder about the possible uses for those bone rings when I'd see them at the craft store.

    Your latest fuzzy kitties are super cute!
