Well as I start rooting this one's hair I broke my last needle =( ( Carter really depleted my supplies what a stinker he was) and I didn't realize I was out ...grrrr....so here I sit ...twiddling my thumbs. I even broke out the old forked needles to give it a try (yep thats how desperate I was) but sadly they went back in the box....someday...but not today. LOL

Been thinking on this one (I know scary lol)....maybe the mohair is the cause? I think I tried this mohair before and had problems, I had to just frustratingly muster through YUCK Makes you hate rooting when the hairs don't catch right. But I Loved the color....another lessoned learned. I had left over hair and hated wasting it but I guess from now on I get what works all the time =)

WHOO HOOO....I'm rooting again!

oh you never really NEED a crisis for that just a friday night and a ice cold glass...course I will hold off the rooting until afterwards.....don't want the wolfman expereience LOL
Okay....I'm over the moon here and just had to share. You know the problems I've been having with needles and wanting to rooting Justin? Well I broke out the dreaded forked German needles and WOOOOO HOOOOO I think I got it down!!! WHEEEEEE! Boy thoough it takes forever to fill up a spot but the out come is awesome! I never thought I'd figure them out!
Thanks Sage ...I don't think I quite mastered them yet but I'm working on it ;) it's more tham I ever accomplished with them before so a definate start!
Did someone say "party"? Bet you'll want to celebrate when Justin has all his hair.

Okay ladies and gentleman =) need some opinions I've been rooting my heart out and wanted to see what you think, I couldn't get the swirl with the german forked yet but I plan on working on that a bit more when I get my one barb needles in. It seems I just keep filling in balds spots on this one.....the bottomless pit so to speak LOL I'm still working on it though so he's not finished.
Thanks. I guess it depends on what shes wearing I intended for her to me a boy but I changed my mind as she progressed. Who knows I might just change my mind yet again LOL
