Cute polymer hijab pins

I saw these on etsy yifatiii's Sweet Sewing Pin Toppers and thought they could make good hijab pins. However on discussion and thought, they are sewing pins which are generally weak and short. I thought they would be too difficult to make myself however after watching these videos I thought it would be worth having a go:





I'm not sure where I could get straight pins in NZ, maybe a bead store but there are also these:

Many Horses' Hijab Pins

Or I could cut the plate off these or use it as the base for things like muffins or buscuits:

Brooch Stick Pin

Noodling

If you did this wearing gloves and a longer noodles you could cast off, creating a pixel and use it as a cool garnish for your next diner party (preferably of knitters, they'll think its less weird).

Dem rib bones

There are lots of how to knit videos out there but all the other ones I tried confused me. After watching this one and cutting my number of stitches to rib from 20 to 6 I managed to get a ribbed piece. I'm going to try to make it into a T for my name so I'm looking for a video on adding stitches both at the start and end of my current stitches.
