Do you hate it when..........

[furball1234]

your yarn gathers hair and gets intertwined in your project. Especially when you want to make it nice for someone or you want to sell it.

It's amazing isn't it? I thought I'd be bald by now after counting all the hair that ended up in my crochet projects!

[eebrs]

I agree. I made a white blessing blanket for my sister-in-law's first baby. Of course my dark hair showed up really well against the white.

[crochetluvknot]

it seems to be a magnet for hair and fuzzies i am always finding and picking hair mine and the cats off the blankets and i keep them in a sealed tote when not working on them but still theres a pesky hair.

And here I thought I was the only one.

I guess I watch too much CSI but that happens to me all the time too, and I always think...hmmmm thats my DNA in there:lol ...

LOL, I've thought that a time or two, too!

i have pretty dark brown hair and I really hate it when I'm making something white!

[LeslieG]

I just tell everyone that all my afghans are "Cat Approved". Both my guys ( Boo and Fidget) express their opinions of my ghans by climbing into my lap when I'm crocheting. I wash every ghan I do and still find cat hair. Oh well, no complaints so far.

[Me&P]

Ha! Yeah, I hate that... But I hate it worse when I crochet in a hair that is still attached to my head... Maybe it's time for a trim!

[mikki]

I do that all of the time with my hair then i have to frog it to get it out . Everytime my hubby sees me frogging something he asks me if i'm shedding again .

[Misa]

Oh yes, hate it to pieces :grump I shed worse than a Persian cat in August!

Well, there is the story that you bind someone to you if you weave one of your hairs into the cloth. I think I'll stick with that every time there is a hair I just cannot extricate from my work...

[Ladycrochat]

YESSSSSSS! I HATE:irk that too! So now I usually wear a scarf ( I actually crocheted one to wear while crocheting! )or pull my hair back in a pony tail or a chignon(see photo!) .....still happens but not as often.

One of the reasons I put my hair up while crocheting - especially if it's for someone that I don't want stuck to me. :eeklol

Oh my, ME too! LOL

[KnicKnac]

I have actually gotten to the point of pulling my hair back when I crochet, it's just a habit, but I don't find NEAR the amount in my work as I did before I started doing that.

I do this when I am working on something for family. I usally work it into the beginning.

 

My mom who cross stitches does it too.

[furball1234]

Wow, I knew when I started this post it had to be common. I am going to pull my hair back, that's a wonderful Idea. Maybe I should lint roll my bedspread too since I am doing all my projects there for now.

[Selune]

Yeah, I get hair stuck in mine and have to frog it or carefully extract through numerous cuts and tugs. You just can't pull on it and it comes out. On the flip side, have you ever heard of those mourning objects (jewelry, pictures, etc) made of a deceased loved one's hair? I know, it sounds morbid, but used to be quite common.

[Trinket]

If it's not my own hair getting tangled up in my work, then it's some of my Sheltie's hair, or a couple of my Siamese cat's hairs getting stuck in it...

That's why I got a hairless cat!

[sonnets_and_stitches]

Especially in the 1600s-1800s, hair was a very common momento. (Ever hear of "The Rape of the Lock?") I just read Charlotte Bronte's novel "Villette" and a young bride braided a lock of her hair, her father's and her bridegroom's as an amulet against family discord.

 

My hair is long, dark, wavy, and everywhere. It's long ceased to bother me.

[miller3602]

:yes YES YES YES YES YES!!!!! I do hate it! My hair is dark, and shows up A LOT! :yes
