maybe something to do with knitting or crocheting when making different stitches. Sure will be waiting for an answer to this one.

I woulda thought it was a tie holder. The ties slip between the white thingies.
|
Have no clue, but like some of the answers.
|
i think yonnika is correct..look at the slide that may move towards the 2 lil balls to hold a scarf..perfect!
|
Does each one come off the ring? I'm thinking some type of row markers for knitting or something like that.
|
Uh...no idea..but can't wait to find out!!
|
Looks kinda kinky to me.
|
Eeewww, I don't think I'd like Manhattan very much.

Nope got me stumped!!!
|
I have got such a kick out of everyone's guesses on this. You ladies are a hoot! Thanks for the good laugh to start my day.
I have no idea what this is or what it is for, but I love the "wind chime" for your sewing machine. Regardless of what it truly is, that's what I'd use it for! |

I think it's used in making bobbin lace. Not sure how, but saw a demo recently and they used all sorts of items that looks like this.
|
Don't have a clue. Going to watch this one.
|
I have no clue here, but I have to admit this is one great thread to read early in the morning, certainly does give you alot of laughs!!

I agree.
|
sorry I clicked twice.
|
I do not know what it is, but have a suggestion for how to use it if you can get the hanging things off: ruler hanger for a quilter!

I got the answer.......it's a dingleebobber.... :P
In truth???? it's a hangamajigger..... :thumbup: What a hoot.....but have no clue :roll: |
Are the white dangly things tight together? if so, I would use it to hang my rulers with. Slide the hole to hang the ruler up with between the two white balls on one hanger. If it holds fast enough I would keep going. I got a large ring with a hanger on it to hold mine but it is a pain.
|
I googled images of every thing that was suggested and the picture you have doesn't come up. It appears it isn't a dental tool, lace maker, crochet counter, scarf holder, tie holder, etc., so it must be a "thingamajig" like was suggested. If you ever find out what it is please let us know. (It would be funny if it turns out to be a decoration from something crazy like a car visor!)

I sent the picture to Nancys Notions . If she gets back to me I will post...
|
Maybe it was a dental color matcher thingee that was repurposed by an quilter for use as a bobbin holder? You know how us quilters love to repurpose stuff. LOL, just kidding. I'm leaning toward it being a scarf holder. If not that, it's just gotta be a thing-a-ma-jig.
|
stumped but would like to know
|
it looks to me like stitch holders for knitting. each one can come off and you put it in bewteen your stitches on the needles. I have never seen any like this before though.

I have no clue, other than what a Dentist uses to match color of teeth.
