Started making a blanket in October 24th 2023.

Just finished it.

Made using crochet with pre-looped yarn and it was my first time using that sort of yarn.

I think that *actual making* was probably 6 - 8 (?) hours, I had ten balls of yarn.

Enjoyed it a lot! Learned quite a bit about stitch directionality and also ways to deal with dropped and/ or extra loops.

It feels like Hank Green has inadvertantly pissed off all Knitters / Yarn Crafters everywhere and as much as I like him generally.. I wouldn't Bet against the Yarn Crafters for all the Money in the WORLD.. *

If you Weave, Spin or Felt (is Felt a Verb?) and are in the UK, this UK shop is having a closing down sale until May 16th 2025.

I haven't bought from them myself, but the savings look decent.

good luck - and be quick !

#knitters ! I need some #knitting needle shopping help.

Must meet all the following requirements:

- Available to buy in the UK
- 7 to 10 inches length [18 -26 (ish) cm ] No Longer
- Metal or plastic. Not Wood. Not Bamboo
- Not Circular. I don't want the ends attached
- 3mm or 2mm.
( Actually want to buy both a 3mm and a 2mm pair)

Do these exist?

Thanks in advance for any help

Started knitting and crocheting something with 2 mm needles and have decided that is the limit for my hands / fingers / eyes.

Anything lower is basically making lace / and or creating with wire and needle tools.

I have great admiration for those creating in more miniature than that - but it's not for me.

Nope.

Hello all -
#Crafter's ! #YarnWitch #CraftWitch #Sewing #Sewist #Fabric
- people

- Do / have you used a pair of electric cordless scissors ?
- Does using one help with hand fatigue * ?
- Is there a particular brand you'd recommend or warn to Never Buy ?

[* Please note I mostly want to cut fabrics like light cotton and medium lycra but might also want to cut light denim occasionally]

It's good to have hobbies.
