Brenda's Laying Tools

Brenda wrote a little bit about the two types of laying tools she uses, which I thought folks would find interesting.  I use a trolley needle myself, except I wear it on my left thumb.  But I prefer shorter laying tools than the BLT.  A tekobari is more my style.  To each his/her own!  Actually, I think various types of laying tools work better or worse on certain types of threads and also in certain weathers.  What do you think?  Do you have favorites you always use?

Stitchable Pendants

Alex Paras Needlearts has something I've not seen before--stitchable pendants in acrylic or bamboo!  There's not much stitching room but I bet you could do some nice geometric shapes or an initial.
