Well you just sit yourself down my lad, and get on with it...

Cheers....Cher

Gosh, it doesn't bear thinking about does it? Especially with children who can buy sandwiches now at our UK schools.

Cheers...Cher

Oooooo don't Katherine, it's making my tummy feel funny just thinking of these kind of dangers.

Cheers...Cher

Ooh they are nice, thank you:)

I would, too, if I had time!

Kather> Well I've never grown up, so still like making them...hugz...Cher > >

Just be careful.

Man you both must have excellent eyesight to work with something so tiny. I had a friend in Florida who could paint entire scenes (waterfalls, meadows with flowers etc) on a person's fingernails. I would need a magnifying glass and nerves of steel to even think about trying any of these things.

Gemini

That is one thing that I don't ever remember learning to do, Cher. I'm glad to see that you included a URL for the instructions in another of your responses. Thank you! :o)

Oooh, really? I've never found a toothpick in a cabbage roll. But then I've never had them in a restaurant... just the homemade ones when my sister feels generous and makes some to bring to us, or the frozen ones from M&M Meatshops. ;o)

I *have* had sandwiches though (usually the large ones that are cut into four small pieces and stood up on their end that will fall apart easier) with toothpicks holding them together.

Gemini

I think toothpicks are about US 0000 size, roughly the same as old UK size 18 (about 1.22mm). They used to sell even smaller sizes, down to UK 27. After much practice, I can use 0000s, but I'm not read for the tinier ones!

Actually, Gem, knitting on tiny tiny needles is not THAT difficult. Not my first choice, but better than the huge, broomstick ones!

Kather> Man you both must have excellent eyesight to work with something so

I always hold my cabbage rolls together with toothpicks.

Katherine

our weaving and spinning exhibitions make up tiny bags of handspun yarn two sticks and instructions for the children to buy, they sit making them whilst the parents have a coffee or do more browsing..

Cher

I'll make you one that hangs, with beads etc ending with a tassel, I do them so that they have a loop at the top for hanging, then a line of beads, usually glass ones to catch the light, coloured glass that is, then I put in the first Godseye, another row of beads, another G/E and then another row of beads and end up with a tassel, sometimes I have three G/E's in a string, they aren't too long, and I glue on beads onto the ends of the cocktail sticks so that the sharp bits are hidden.
