Crocheters Thread

[BullChick]

I finished four granny squares today. The current one is going to grow until it’s about one ft.². I’m about 1/3 there.

I'm so happy to have found this thread! I've been crocheting for 3 years now and I absolutely love the calming effect it has on me! I'm still too scared to try to crochet wearables and have really only been crocheting toys

I can’t wait to see your progress!

My blanket is only 3 or so rows from completion. I’ll post pics when it’s all done

I guess I’ll make more scrubbies this weekend and work on my multi-color bag.

It didn’t need to be a square foot. Now I need to be sure it’s going to work as it was intended.

That is awesome

I brought yarn to make dish scrubbies and stuff to work on my bag but I forgot scissors

Nail clippers work.

Does anyone use a lighted crochet hook? I put one on my birthday list to hopefully help use the dark chenille yarn I got

My husband somehow heard about lighted crochet hooks and told me about them. So I searched reviews and found some people who really liked theirs and I bought a set. The set is fine, but the light up feature isn’t really worthwhile.

If I put it on the bright setting, I get light flashing in my eyes and that’s a problem. So I put it on medium setting and then it’s fine. But there’s no way that it helps me to see the work or the yarn better. It’s just a glowing crochet hook.

My take is, the light is pointless. The set is ok though. It has interchangeable heads, and it has some sizes that my trusty old aluminum set didn’t have, so I don’t feel that I wasted my money.

I will add that I still prefer my aluminum hooks. Ones with “ergonomic” handles are well and good if people’s hands require that kind of help. But I have found that when working with thick yarn, the handle part hits your work when trying to insert the hook. (I.e. the smooth metal shaft is not long enough.)
