Just a lil frustrating

[Amibel]

You know what is almost as frustrating as working with black?

 

Using the Bates bamboo handled H hook, which is a bright blue with a hint of turquoise, while making something in Red Heart Soft's Turquoise It matches very closely so I sometimes have to look twice at what I'm doing.

The next time you work with a dark yarn (black, navy, dark green, or dark brown) try laying a white towel across your lap. The white background will help you to see your stitches.

Thanks for that hint Kathy!

 

We really need a place to collect these little tidbits of crochet lore that make life easier! I was thinking of a "sticky" (a thread that is at the beginning of each folder that never gets bumped to oblivion but always stays on top) for Craft Show crochet suggestions, pricing, what sells and what doesn't, etc.... This would make another nice sticky -- Crochet Helpful Hints. Either one of them could be added on to as we think of additions, but the thread would always remain at the top of the appropriate folder!
