My favorite yarn I've ever used is the Hobby Lobby brand called "I Love This Yarn". I really love it, but it's a bit on the expensive side, I think. It's about $3.99/skein. I try to wait and...

No, Paintsville is about an hour and a half south of me in Eastern KY. IT's in Johnson County. My brother lives just beyond there in Floyd County.

I learned needle tatting from a book. It was fairly easy to learn. I don't think I could ever tat with a shuttle, but I did very well with the needle. It was great fun. :)

I'm in northeastern KY...Catlettsburg. :)

Hey...I'm in KY, too!! :)

I'm online most of the day. I may not always be right beside my computer, as I go in and out to get things done. But, I can check for messages. Are you on Facebook? I'm not exactly sure how a...

I love to make shawls or lapghans for other people. My husband was very ill and spent a lot of time in intensive care many years ago. I crocheted to get thru all those hours while I was in the...

I've not done the bullion stitch with yarn because I haven't come across a pattern requiring it. But many years ago, I did a set of complimenting varying sizes doilies that had the bullion stitch. ...

Hey y'all!! It's not night time, but I am just now reading this and decided to say 'hey'. I, too, suffer with insomnia, but didn't know we had a thread where we could just chit chat. Since I'm up...

I can't get to the redheart site. It tells me to try to reload the page, but still won't take me there. Do you know if the site is down for some reason?

I'm a "quote junkie" and I LOVE this quote. I'd never heard it before, but I assure you, I won't forget it. :)

Awhile back, I pinned something I saw about Red Heart Super Saver yarn. Unfortunately, I can't find the pin (I have way too many pins in crochet for my own good...LOL) I haven't tried it yet, so I...

I love crocheting afghans, but love it more in winter than in summer!! LOL I've done many different kinds and can't really pick which are my favorite kinds. I have a great number of booklets I've...

Thanks. I'll check it out. :)

Oh, I'm sure your winters are much worse up there. We didn't actually have winter here, this year. I never even had on a heavy coat. I'm hoping for a colder, snowier winter this year, but I doubt...

Where is your home country? I'm from KY in the states. I've always lived here and can't imagine living anywhere else. We have all 4 seasons and, well, it's just great!! My favorite time of year...

Oh I'd LOVE that!! I'm always TOO hot!! I've always said it can never be too cold or too snowy for me. :) LOL

I haven't bought any new hooks in a long time. I remember using Susan Bates hooks years ago, but thru several moves over the years, they were lost along the way. I've lived here for 18 years and...

I've never heard of needle tatting. Are there books out there?

The actual "hook" on my steel hooks, even though they're Boye, aren't all that great...or at least I don't think so. If I'm trying to do a pattern that calls for using two strands, it's very...

I know what you mean. When I switch to thread, usually in summer months due to the heat, it takes me a little while to get used to thread again. :)

No, I've never used any of the wooden hooks or square hooks. I hadn't even heard of square hooks. I'm new to the forum here. I've been crocheting since 1974. I am self taught and really LOVE to...

These hooks work very smoothly, as well. I think I forgot to mention that. I don't feel as if it's any work to pull the yarn. Now, when I use cotton yarn, it's a little harder on my hands and...

This is a link to the Clover site for the steel hooks for thread crochet. I have not used these, but am definitely gonna get one and see how it works up and how it feels.

Clover USA Soft Touch...

crjc....the name brand is The Crochet Lite hook. I got mine at Hobby Lobby. You can purchase online at amazon.com and also on the JoAnn website. This is the google search I did for the hook for...
