Crochet and Knitting Finds

This weekend I so scored on Crochet and Knitting supplies and Yarn.  For $30 I got the below:



















As any Crocheter or Knitter would know, you can't pass up FREE yarn, even if you have no idea what project you are going to use it for.  I'm laughing at the Pom-Pom yarn because I personally would never go out and buy it at a craft store, but hey, all I need to know are a few young girls that would love a nifty scarf, and there we go....problem solved.

Then there's the "I-Cord" maker.  This is a pretty cool machine.  I see many creative projects ahead with this neat little tool! 

The quilting squares are bonus too because of my ongoing bookcover making project. 

 

















KNITTING LOOMS!  I had been holding off getting these.  Glad I did.  I am truly more of a crocheter than a knitter.  I find Crocheting to be faster and more creative, but like the stretchability of a knit piece.  I had started an afghan of just knitted stitches using circular needles, but after 3 weeks, it's junk.  Basically, I started with a cast on of 32 and now I am down to 20.  The piece measures about 2 ft long.  Oh well.  I treat knitting more as a stress relief activity anyway.  I enjoy going through the motions but end up unraveling and repurposing the yarn.

These looms, however, are my new answer to completing a finished KNIT piece.  I am so excited.  I love this process so much better!!!

And FINALLY, you can never underestimate the value of BOOKS filled with patterns.  These books help with the inspiration and motivation process. 

I know, call me a crochet and knitting geek, but this is what makes me happy.

These were great finds, and I can't wait to make and create!
