    I definitely feel like the yarn bag would work totally fine with a bigger ball of yarn if you used the center pull instead of the outside pull, even without the yarn winder

    ok so I went through cosmetician school from autumn 1994 to summer 1995 as a teenager. My first week of school I was so excited, I ran out to the supply store to pick up the implements I needed & saw the perfect little pair of precision hair cutting scissors! I have child-sized hands so they appeared to be made for me. I thought the price said $8.00 sale so I grabbed them. At the counter when my basket was rung up, I CHOKED. Embarrassed & not wanting to look a fool, I somberly paid & left. Those scissors were almost $100 on a huge -80% off sale!!! Thought I was going to die. However... they are German made steel and I now realize they're top of the line. I have never had to have them sharpened & am careful not to drop them! (I'm not working in the field anymore) but I definitely got what I paid for with them & I do still cut my hair & my family's hair with them. Lesson learned about being a careful shopper as an adult though 😂

    Ooh, I have one of those necklace cutters! Granted, I don't think mine was actually advertised as being for a necklace. I attached it to a key ring and hooked it to my project bag, so I never have to worry about whether I remembered to put my scissors back in the bag when I take it somewhere.

    • @CrocreatebySarah

    I have the necklace cutter. The blade inside is replaceable, and while I don't wear mine as a necklace, it can easily be attached to a bag with a keychain or cord. I will advise (I'm US based, so ymmv) to my knowledge, that style of cutter is NOT TSA approved, because it is a rotary cutter blade inside, and that style of blade is prohibited from being in a carry on. UK/EU might have different rules. Definitely check before you fly.

    • @CrocreatebySarah
      @CrocreatebySarah  Рік тому +3

      I didn't know you could replace the blade! That's amazing and love that it's something you can reuse again and again and replace the blades. 😊

    I have rainbow scissors from Temu but they made a mistake and sent me a pair with rounded ends instead of pointy. They refunded me the cost and told me to keep the scissors which was nice. The rounded ends are a bit odd but they cut yarn (and dog's hair) just fine and also have the benefit that they don't have pointy ends to stick through things - I guess maybe you only need pointy ends if you embroider ?? I'd also suggest trying to go for a centre pull with your nifty little yarn bag - though have to admit I totally fail at ever finding the centre to get it to pull out that way. Think there must be a knack that I don't have. Congratulations upon your wedding and am so curious about how your hair will look. Best wishes and thanks for an interesting video.

    They work better if you pull from the center of a skein or cakes. The circle cutter is great , I've used them for decades. A long necklace or if your lucky and can find one with a large top hole a keychain.

    I have bigger bag from Temu like yours. I think it’s great if your wool pulls from middle. It’s very easy to wind wool having middle pull without winder. All you need is toilet roll holder or other cardboard cylinder like paper towel etc. I found that hack on u tube the bag ups bought is bigger. Ut will take wool and project. Must be lucky in aus

    The bag is super cute!!! I use a cake winder & I do have a larger project bag similar to this & it works great. The one I bought is the Knit Picks Yarn Ball Winder ($33 USD) but I've had NO issues with it. I keep it in the box when not in use. It easily winds yarn into cakes while I watch videos like this. The box is maybe around an 8 inch /20-21 cm cube so it doesn't take up much room. There are only 3 parts to put together to use it. I'd love a wooden one with replaceable parts one day but they are ungodly pricey... maybe it'll come as a special holiday gift one day 😇

    Omg the stork scissors. I too had always wanted some of those, and like you, thought they were a bit pricey. Found a set at Aldi a couple of years ago. (Came with matching thimble in a box for Mother's day) for around $4 AU. Still using & loving them to this day.

    I've only used a blade cutter like that for thread. It has some braided leather attached to it so you can pick it up easily but I'd never wear it around my neck.
    The most expensive scissor I bought were cheap sheers that cost around $30USD, lose estimate that'd be around $25 GBP? I want a decent pair of sheers some day and those cost aroun $75 USD.

    • @CrocreatebySarah

    those hooks remind me of my yarniss hooks that i got on amazon:) the grip looks somewhat similar but the yarniss ones are metal hooks and they come with a zipper pouch! the grip also somewhat reminds me of boye ergonomic hooks which are also rubber grip metal hook.

      I have to admit the grips on them are amazing. I've had to have steroid injections in my wrist before and have been playing around with grips to see if there's any that truly alleviate the pain. These do the trick I couldn't believe it I didn't expect much from them but they are cracking 😊

    I got that same exact set of hooks for the same reasons. I really wanted to like them and I truly tried. Everything about them is great except one wee little teenie-tiny problem. Incidentally, it's the same problem I experienced with other hooks that had rubber on the end. The shaft is too short. That must not be a common issue because i am finding it rather difficult to locate hooks with a longer shaft. Sadly, that's why I am still using basic metal hooks.

    • @CrocreatebySarah
      @CrocreatebySarah  Рік тому +1

      I completely understand that because I crochet with literally the end of the hook very close to the point so I prefer a shorter shaft. Have you tried a Tunisian hook as a substitute? They are naturally longer and hold the stitches along the hook so the hook itself is the same mm as the shaft. Might be worth a try 🙂
