Knitting needles are NOT just for knitting!
This one works exceptionally well as a replacement antenna on Amy's boombox
that I've been using on the deck this past week!

hey, if it works!
Isn't necessity the mother of all invention?

But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.

I got tired of the aluminum falling off, and not really working well anyway, so one day I was out there with my knitting and decided to stick a needle in - VOILA!

Your jam box isn't going to get hit by lightening is it?

I'll have to check and see if I have a blue needle that I don't need to use currently that fits the hole - I do like to be color-coordinated too, Wrennie!
I don't think it will be hit by lightening, Sheri, as I don't plan to be outside when lightening is about!!!
