A Deeper Look in the World of Crochet Hooks
Recently I hard the urge to get back crochet. When I started my fiber arts journey in 2013Â I started with crochet, however lately I have really enjoyed knitting. As I was planning out my next crochet project I began gathering what I would need. I grabbed my hook, the original Boye US 8 5.00mm that started it all.

 Let me take the time to do a quick PSA or Public Service Announcement…. Fellow Crafters can we please stop the yarn abuse! It is not ok to strangle the mess out of the poor yarn as you wind it. Yarn does not like being caked up and left for years. It puts a strain on the fibers, makes them weak and even damage them. I share this with you my fellow friends because during the week I bought a lovely skein of hand dyed, hard to find yarn online. The picture showed the yarn skeined up in all of its glory. When it got to me, it not…
