Essential Crochet Supply Kit, Part 1 of 7
I recently went through my entire crafting stash in an effort to become more organized. This arduous cleaning experience got me thinking about the most essential tools for the crocheter.
The most obvious is, of course, the crochet hook. The other critical tools are scissors, a measurement device, yarn or tapestry needles, stitch markers, pen/pencil, and some manicure tools. If you plan to crochet outside of the home, you’ll need a carrying case/organizer of some kind too. (I personally do the majority of my crocheting on the subway, so the case is almost as important as the hooks for me!)
But which hook, yarn marker, etc. should you pick? Each day this week, I’ll go through one of these essential tools in more detail, walking though which supplies are “must haves” for the beginner and what can wait until you are more advanced.
You may be wondering, “What about the yarn?” Well, that’s a whole ‘nother story – subject for many future posts, I’m sure.
