Ping - betsey hair brush
 

Did a lookup for hair brushes and found several kinds. If the little
one has thick hair like mine and it sounds like she does, I would
suggest a wooden handle half round boar bristle brush. The price
varies from around 10 to 25 dollars. They come in the 3 or 3 1/2
inch bristle. The flat or paddle brushes just don't get down far
enough in the hair to do a good job. The brush I am suggesting is the
kind I used all my life because they were the only ones that worked
AND did not break every other day.

Hope this helps.

And to keep this on subject.... I've stopped quilting for a while
because I am knitting a pair of scarlet red socks. My first pair of
socks were practice. One is white and one is gray, but they fit well
and keep my feet warm.

Ah! I remember that well - my first sock was grey!
However, it remained my one and only g. Though I went on to knit some
very complex 'stuff', I never tried another sock!
So, congratulations Kate.

You're wasting your time, Betsey. It never gets cold enough here for them
to need a scarf and unless you could knit one for each of them, it would
cause an awful jealous fight.

Well she's still a little one, in age that is. At 17 she needs a
sturdy brush to handle all the styling they go through at that age. I
hope she gets many years use out of it.

Oh and about knitting, I've been knitting for over 45 years and am a
beginner in knitting socks. I've wanted wool socks for many years now
and you just can't find them in this area. So what to do, what to
do. H-u-m-m-m-m Make a pair of course. My cousin who lives in Ohio
is an avid sock knitter. She walked me through it. Taught me the
Magic Loop method. One cable needle 40 inches in length and am doing
them in the round. No double pointed needles for me.

Lace knitting, interesting, H-u-m-m-m-m. I say that a lot. :)

Sad to say my French Braid quilt is just sitting at the sewing table
waiting to be completed. My feet kept getting cold so I had to stop
and fix that problem before I go back to quilting. Standing at my
machine quilting frame, my toes kept telling me they were cold.
Imagine this a little old red haired lady standing at a quilting
machine in scarlet red socks on Christmas morning. Santa ain't gonna
out do me.
