Yep since I started dipping my toes (just the pinky one for now ;op Haha) into crocheting I figured I needed a few new tools for my new trade
Always wanted the Happy H.ooker book and since I started and finished my first crochet project (will do the proper F.O. post soon) I thought it justified me scooping it up last month.
Also, with the long carefree hours I was clocking in on my crochet project I noticed my hand was getting tired with the bazillion repetitive DCs why not invest in an Ergonomic interchangeable set??
Got it at a great deal with a 50% off coupon for only $11 at the end of the day. You can get them at A.C. M.oore or W.al-Mart and if for some reason you don't see the set there you can buy here for the same great deal.
I was surprised at the light and very plastic handles since I was expecting more "rubber". If I had paid more than I did for the set I would have been not happy with the quality! Haha! Haven't broken them in yet to test out how I like working with them but will keep you posted.
Finished up my shawl and as soon as I can get it blocked with some pics I will plaster some knitting content up here...finally! LOL
Until next blog time...Be Blessed!!
p.s. 100 days down :o)
Congrats
And there are some great projects in that book. Debbie Stoller knows her stuff.
I use regular old crochet hooks. I never saw those. Interesting! I hope they work out for you.
Those hooks look erally nice. i have been crocheting like crazy to figure out a pattern for my swap and my hand gets ache-y if it get tight. Story of my crafty life-sam thing happens with knitting lol. anyway was gonna say i wonder if our Walmart has them. Hope they help you out :)
I've got two forest canopies going now. I started another one when I didn't have the time to memorize the border pattern for the end of the first one and had to have sixtytwelvebillion stitches frogged and tinked.
Remember, hold it like a grown up would hold a pencil or fork. Not the way a toddler would.
