Have You Tried Using a Lucet Yet?

At the 2014 Knit and Crochet Show there was a class on using the Lucet – a tool that predates crochet, used to make cord that’s perfect for embellishments. If you’d like to try a new way to use yarn, the Lucet is a fun way to do it – and great for drawstrings for your crochet items! Click on the affiliate links below to check out the Lucets available in your area, and then check out this tutorial from Stitch Diva Studios to see how it’s done!

Clover Lock Ring Markers – My Personal Favorites!

I used to be one of those people who never used stitch markers. I lived dangerously. And then one day the sun came out, I realized how incredibly helpful they are, how much frustration they would save me from… and I was converted!

Over the past few years I’ve tried several brands and styles, but at the end of the day, the Clover Lock Ring Markers are my favorites. I highly recommend them to any crocheter – or knitter for that matter – I even love the little pouch they come in! Click the affiliate links below to check them out for yourself!
