I was recently inspired by all the miniature knitting on "Knit one, Purr... too's" Blog:

http://lluest.blogspot.com/2007/01/lets-knit-shall-we.html

I tried it out for myself with 1mm needles and embroidery thread. I created this cute little pattern called, "Diamond in a Square" and it can be found in Rachel's Knitting Room. There are a lot of our members trying to challenge themselves with this adorable type of knitting now! It's really kinda fun! So go on and give it a whirl...use anything you have on hand...pins, needles, toothpicks...whatever does the trick!
