Yarn Stash

Hello all I have been busy with my crocheting for Christmas but that is another blog.
Today I was sorting out my yarn looking for colour which was not in the stash I have 6 storage containers full of yarn.

these are some of the full balls.

And here just some of the balls that could not fit on the couch.

I have been told by my partner that I was not allowed to buy any more yarn.

 These two tubs are full of my scrap yarn. I have another tube beside my bed it is full of yarn I am useing to make my granny square blanket.

This is the tube that stays beside my bed I try to do a square a night.

 

Crochet Hook Holding

The other day on the train going to the city I was crocheting like I always do and this lady came up to me and told me I am crocheting all wrong. It was not how I crochet but the way i hold my hook I was told I should hold in the pencil hold.

I know there is no right or wrong way to hold my hook but I hold in the knife hold.

But it got me think why I hold the hook the way I do after few days thinking I worked out why I can not do the pencil hold I am left handed. so I can't hold the hook that way in my right hand. I can use the pencil hold in my left hand but crocheting with my left hand feels really strange.

How do you hold your crochet hook.

Another Yarn Question

I asked yesterday about red heart yarn and thank you for all you feed back but I forgot to ask if you all what yarn would you use over red heart yarn.

Yarn Question

Hello all I just have a quick question I want to try red heart yarn but before I order some from the states I want to know what it is like to work with any sugestions on what I should get. I to use for amigurumi so please I would love here what you all think.

Job Hunting

I have not been crocheting much lately I have been really busy with looking for a new job since I was let go from my last job few mouths ago. I did not think it be this hard last 5 or 6 jobs came really easy. Fingers crossed job will come soon I really need the money for yarn and everything else. Also since the weather warmed up I have been spending a lot of time fixing up the garden. But I have been doing a granny square every few nights when the house work has been done and tea has been cooked.

Quick Update

Hi all been a while I have been really busy just quick update my goddaughter mother has had her baby ( It's a boy)  so been helping around there house cleaning, washing and best of all babysitting and my cat is fine she passed it fine but she did not just eat one but three. More post to come.

Stitch Markers And Cats Don't Mix.

Today while crocheting on the couch my silly cat Flame thought it would be a great idea to eat a couple of my stitch markers.

My cat will eat about everything that is not nailed down. But this time my partner and I were worried just because she ate a stitch marker that is open.

So it was a trip to the vets there is not much they can do for next few days. I just have to keep an eye her and cheek her poo gross not looking forward to that part but if it dose not pass the vets will have to operation to remove it.
I just hope see pass it  because not look forward to paying a huge vet bill.
