Clover Jumbo Wonder Clips

Earlier this week I was finishing up a crochet pattern that required the sides to be seamed up – and it was important to hold them in place while I worked. Clover Jumbo Wonder Clips to the rescue! I love these for any sort of seaming – they hold the fabric firmly without pulling or snagging, and the built in measurements made them great for sewing projects too!

Dritz Crafters Gloves

Dritz Crafters Gloves are great for crocheters! They are thin enough to not accidentally catch with the hook, and they help relieve the hand pain associated with epic hook sessions. They are great for arthritis, hand pain, and swelling. Sold in pairs, they are available in Small, Medium, and Large – and on Amazon! Click the affiliate link for your country below!

Stanwood Needlecraft Yarn Ball Winder, 4-Ounce

I have the larger, 10 oz Stanwood Needlecraft Yarn Ball Winder, but it’s definitely on the large size. Which I love! It’s dependable, tough, and works like a dream. But if you use smaller balls – more in the 4 oz range, which is where your standard yarn skein clocks in, then Stanwood has a smaller (and much more affordable!!) option for you.

Susan Bates Finishing Needles – Save Your Eyes and Fingers!

I am a big big fan of Susan Bates Finishing Needles. No more trying to squeeze the yarn through that little eye, pinching and splitting and even licking trying to get it in there – the finishing needles are the easiest things in the world to thread! And the double ended design makes weaving in even the shortest ends easy! And have I mentioned that they come in a whole range of sizes, so you can use the right one for the yarn you’re working with? They’re the best! Get your own at the affiliate links below!

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!

Ottlite Lamps for Better, Easier Crocheting!

How can a lamp help you crochet? Most lamps will help you see what you’re doing…. unless you’re working with dark colored yarns, or the lamp just isn’t powerful enough to see your stitches, or you need to combine colors…. This is where Ottlite really “shines”!

Powerful, focused, and with a light that shows yarn’s true colors, I depend on my Ottlite every day. It makes crocheting with black and dark blue yarns as easy as can be – and even lets me see the difference. They are offered in a variety of styles and models, from floor lamps to desk lamps to decorator lamps, many with handy add-ons like magnifying glasses and trays for notions! Check out their selection in your country at the affiliate links below!

Amazon UK – tons of options HERE, and this charging valet lamp looks fab!
