# 80..my first attempt!

[heart]

Yay!! Because of the lovely Lavelle26, my secret pal, I have a sweet little stash of thread, and some of it was size 80!!! and 2 hooks, the tiniest I've seen, I know from her blog she special ordered these. Size 15 and size 16. For the dark pink verigated heart I used the # 15 hook and size # 80 thread. I did the same pattern in pink size # 10 thread with a size 8 hook, and you can see the difference. I was so happy, I just had to post a photo. These are a gift for someone... The bookmark pattern is a Cylinda Mathews pattern at www.crochetmemories.com in her bookmark menu, it is available for purchase. I bought this one a while ago. She is just the sweetest! Ok, here's the photo...clickable

 

 

 

Wow, next to the size 80, the # 10 looks like a monster! lol

They are both beautiful! I'm hoping to use smaller thread once I get my list of stash-busting projects completed!

[heart]

Thank you! I wouldn't have had any this size, but my sweet SP sent it to me.

Wow....they are both so gorgeous. I have some size 70 thread here that I have been waiting to use.....now you have inspired me!! Don't know that it will turn out as nice yours though!

[heart]

Threadies are amazing. I can't do #10 thread let alone #80. Love them both.

Whoa!! That is awesome Sarah!!!!

Heart, I am so glad I clicked on your picture to see the amazing detail in these bookmarks. I'm going to admit here that I've played with #30 thread some but have trouble seeing what is going on sometimes. #70? Wow. And they're beautiful, too! Lovely work!

[karin4christ]

Just beautiful!!

Oh wow, a size 80. I am not sure I could SEE the stitches on that size thread! Your bookmarks are very pretty!

[Wanda T]

Beautiful! I've just begun using some thread and experimenting making bookmarks. Don't know that my eyes are good enough to try using something that small though! LOL

[heart]

Thank you all very much. I did a pattern that I am used to making, so I kinda remember where the stitches go...so I guess I cheated a little.. But it was a neat experience. Thanks for all your compliments, and thanks to Anna, having this size and the hooks, I just couldn't resist trying to do this.

 

:D I did feel my eyes going cross a few times

[Lavelle26]

That turned out so gorgeous. You did a fabulous job. I just knew you would. Are you addicted yet???

[Katchkan]

Isnt the feel of piece done in that size thread wonderful. I love the smaller threads. You did a great job for your first time with that size

[jap]

Wow! they are very pretty!

[heart]

Thank you everyone!

 

Kathy, Yes I love the feel of the finished piece. It is so delicate, I can't describe it! I may have to pick up the Susan Bates size 13/14 I saw at Hobby Lobby yesterday though, these tiny hooks Anna gave me are special, and I don't want to loose them. I've already lost 2 #7 hooks this week...and I never loose a hook.

 

Anna, Thank you, Yes, I am now hooked! I went to another thrift store this morning and found about 5 balls of thread, all in unique colors, size 10, 20 and 30, a few of them are almost all gone, but they are neat. One looks like lemonade.
