Here they are. My babies made it to 3 years old.
Overall, they are quite long. Some have gotten thin spots, so I knotted a few
of them to see if that would help bulk them up over time. Then a few weeks ago, I notice one very
short dread near the front. I couldn't remember it being so much
shorter than the rest so I thought maybe it broke. As far as I know, I
haven't had any break, but I thought maybe it was one
that I knotted and possibly got caught on something and
ripped. Surely I would have noticed that, but I guess it could have
happened in my sleep? Well, I pretty much convinced myself it must have broke. So a few days ago, when a dread on the other side was
getting super thin where I had knotted it, I decided (with a little
push) to just rip it the rest of the way off. I gave it a little tug and
it surprisingly didn't break. It was still quite strong, but at that
point I had committed to ripping it off. I really had to yanked on it to
rip it off. 
And
yes, I do sort of regret doing it now. But oh well. I wont be doing
that again. Next time, I think I might try sewing in some extra
thickness. Oh, and I looked back at some of my older pics...and I'm
pretty sure, that first short dread didn't break off.
My next goal is to try and make them softer.
