| smilesun (OP) User ID: 41757371 Italy06/15/2013 03:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hi, Smilesun! That's the best bit of yarn bombing I've seen so far. Usually, it's kind of tacky looking. Quoting: Texan Buckeye 5 *'s, just because I crochet and appreciate the work that went into it. AND...it actually looks good!! Thanks for appreciating this  VIRTUALBLOGNEWS [link to virtualblognews.altervista.org] |

My crochet magazines have been full of pictures in the States for several years.  I KNOW!!!!! It's kind of crazy! Did you look at the link I posted above with all the pics? I just can't bring myself to use up my left-over yarn on a tree! I'm make a rug or something instead. |

| Texan Buckeye User ID: 1533753 United States06/15/2013 04:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Rev., it's not hard to learn the basics. There a lot of really good tutorials on the web. There's even a crocheting for dummies book. It just gets harder when you start learning to do fine work. The smaller the fiber, the more difficult it is. Anything with worsted weight yarn is easy to learn. |

I'm jealous! All we have are the big box stores. At least Hobby Lobby's brand yarns are made in Turkey. They make some of the best, I think. I have to order specialty yarns and I don't like doing it. I like to feel it before I buy it. That sounds weird, but if it's stiff and scratchy, it most likely won't make up well. Have fun and don't get discouraged. It's a peaceful, portable hobby! |
