I have always wondered about some of the hairdressers I see in salons whose hair looks horrible and the people that actually trust them to cut their hair. the slipper looked great.

By my twisted figuring, it means that s/he does a better job on everyone, but can't cut his/her own, so someone else has to do it, and it's never as good. (That's my theory and I'm sticking to it. Given that my idea of a good cut is one that allows me to leave the house with dripping hair and never end up looking like Tom Petty, maybe people shouldn't take my stylistic advice.) I like Bates needles too. I like the colors. I wish I could use them more. I always like going to the stylist with the crappy hair.

The slipper(s) look great. I like the Bates needles too–although the color is rubbing off the ones I’m using now. The slipper(s) look great.

I didn't even know they MADE $550 scissors. And here I was bitching about the expense of fabric shears. The slipper looks comfy. Cashmere, yum.

I'll go with you and help remind the snarkier side to take pictures. I'm good about that, just ask Jen. I was just thinking about the ASK meeting for this month. Most of my February is clear except for the 11th and the 17th and the morning of the 24th. I'll probably have a carload full as I'll volunteer to bring up Michelle and Nancy, both local to me. Looking forward to seeing the girls again! Next time you gotta go to one of those gawd-awful things, give me a call. I’ll go with you and help remind the snarkier side to take pictures.

My first pair was Susan Bates - light blue, size 8. I don't have them anymore because I really don't use straights, but they were definitely my favorites. For sock needles, if I need to use DPNs, I guarantee they'll be Susan Bates. I just have one pair that was a little grindy-feeling, but others are perfect.
