After quitting her day job in Los Angeles and moving to Martha’s Vineyard, a quiet island off the Massachusetts coast, Susan Gibbs aka MVKnits had a great idea. She started Martha’s Vineyard Fiber Farm and figured out how to make a living making yarn. Why not use the local food movement’s model of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) and apply it to a yarn harvest? Shareholders pay for a share in the yarn harvest as a way to support a local farm (or in this case, a local farm supported through the internet) and in return they get weekly updates, photos from the farm, an invitation to the shearing and ultimately a share of the yarn.

piercing ear without needle,sry for bad quality

the reason why i dont use sewing needles is cause sum times d needle is 2 small once u take it out it closes at once for (sum ppl)when they wanna put d earing

“and i pierced my ear 2 times actualli cuz it didnt record d 1st time! XD”

who will walk around wid a needle in their ear? XD dats alright but dangerous i perfer using d earing n shove it in if u dont have a piercin needle or if u dont wanna pay sh*t

PS : these work good on cartilage only if u wanna pierce d harder bone parts get a needle for piercing if your going to do this sterlize earing n wipe ur ear with alcohol (clean n unrusted earing must be used)

when it heals(completely) wear a ring wid a thicker line like da stud in my tragus *make sure its clean in alcohol and not rusted* ^^ it will stretch n ull be able to wear those in time it heals.(u kan do this right after you pierce but if your blood cloth heals very fast u might have problems finding the hole back,if your fast enough it might be fine)

AGAIN: This video is only for d ppl who keeps piercin their ear wid a sewing needle wen they kan just finish it in seconds

Here is an unusual 1901 Pre-Dog Victor A-821 Fortune Telling Record. This is a multi-Track disc with three recording tracks that go all the way through the record. The Title is “Fortune Telling Puzzle Record a song and two Fortunes, See if you can find them”. The Victrola Is Victor VV-VI Type F, Victors best selling Table Model Victrola from about 1913. I am using a Fibre or bamboo needle on this scarce litte 7″ Predog Victor. You did not project any where near the volume that you would get from a steel needle, but the Fibre needles were much more gentle on the record and the possibility of damage to the record is virtually eliminated.

I'm weaving a rug in one of my classes and i was wondering what kind of yarn was best for a rug.

Yams are not good to put on the rug!

i meant what are their definition. a proper one because i have being searching online but there is no good definition for either of them. i know that they are different yarns but i need a better definition for each.

I would call a store that sells yarn and knitting supplies. I am sure they could answer your question since they deal in it every day.

I am looking to buy some needles for denim sewing. The ones that I have found say that they are Flat sided Standard Fit 130/705H. Will they fit my 1927 machine? I have looked at the current needle and one side is straight, I am not sure if this means it is flat sided. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I plan to use the machine quite alot and need to know what to buy. Thanks.

Yup. It's what I use in mine. AKA Singer 2020 or 15×1 needle system. Size 10 for lightweight fabrics, like a light shirting, 12 for heavier shirtings and light skirt/pantsweight, 14 for pantsweight, 16 for heavy denims, coatings, etc.

Have you got a manual for it? If not, go here for a free downloadable: http://www.singerco.com/accessories/manuals.html
