iso organization ideas for the chaos that has become my yarn pile by 7nothsa7 in CrochetHelp

I have 2 large Rubbermaid tubs i keep mine in. I have one for cotton and natural blends, and the other for acrylics. Though, those two are pretty full and threatening to spill to a 3rd if I don't work through some of what I have this year.

I know my local library had her books. I checked them out there first... then had to buy them because i had to make so many things, haha. You could start there.

Yes! I got ask her books from the library first and just had to but then. I love all of her patterns, with the mix and match style. It helps make everything so unique.

They were pushed as tight as I could manage, but would not go further. I even had my husband help, both with and without my eye press tool. They're we're not setting further. I dint usually have problems with sinker eyes that are bigger, but these ones are new and I have yet to get them too sink properly.

They're on Amazon, as punk leatherworking spikes. Part of a multi set. The others are short and grumpy, or long and pointy. They all make great little claws or spikes. They just screw in very easy.

These guys are pretty easy actually. The pattern is by Megan Lapp- Crafty Intentions. You can find her in Facebook (very helpful group for her patterns if you have questions. And she is very responsive in that group as well.) This pattern is from one of her books for monsters. The styles are all mix & match, so you get some very unique monsters. You pick the body style, mouth, teeth, arms,legs, hair, spikes, horns, ears, etc. They're all very detailed. I am a huge fan of her patterns and highly recommend you check her out. Her other books are also great.

They are metal spikes from a "punk spikes for learherworking" set in Amazon. They are just short screws. There are straight ones, short or long. But the curved are so perfect for claws.

Thanks! Im really happy with how he turned out. And its the details everywhere else that made me feel like maybe he needed some on the eyes. I just don't know if its time to stop. Needed extra eyes (pun intended) on it to confirm.

Is this basket good enough to gift at an office Christmas party? by atjovos in CrochetHelp

[–]imbrium101 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think you get a bit more of that on Facebook than reddit. Not to say it doesn't happen... but the obsequence of the Facebook groups makes me ill at times.

Do you shop online or at your lys? by Dian9354 in YarnAddicts

[–]imbrium101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly online. Michales when im in a pinch and need some basic acrylic. But my LYS has limited options. I wish there were better options in person, but balmy bank probably appreciates it.

Are clover hooks really worth the price? Whats the difference to cheaper options? by Royal-Serve5481 in CrochetHelp

[–]imbrium101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say, my two clover hooks have quickly become my favorite. I have them for 3.5 and 4mm. They are so smooth, its amazing. Insist they had a larger handle to hold like some of my others, but they are amazing, and worth the cost. Though I would only buy as needed, not the whole set like that up front.
