Wig




Finished wig







The knotting hook

I was making the wig while watching Wimbledon on TV. I noticed that this knotting hook had stuck to my left index finger. Although I did my best I couldn't remove it because this tool is like a small version of a fish hook. So I went to the A&E...doctor yanked it out with the anaesthesia at the bottom of the finger! Ouch!!!
