Introduction
Hey everyone, it's Melanie from Hook to the Left, and today I want to share with you a haul of crochet items that I recently purchased from Amazon. I received some gift certificates and decided to splurge on crochet supplies. In this article, I'll be going through everything I bought and giving you a sneak peek of what you can expect to see on my channel in the future. So, without further ado, let's jump right in!
Pom-pom Makers
One of the first items I purchased were pom-pom makers. Pom-poms are a fun and versatile accessory that can be used in various crochet projects. I got the Clover pom-pom makers, which come in a pack with different sizes. Included are the most common sizes for making pom-poms, ranging from small to large. Additionally, I also bought a super duper giant pom-pom maker, which allows you to create oversized pom-poms. Though I may not use it as often, it offers the opportunity to make unique pom-pom creations like yarn topiaries and other decorative items.
Interchangeable Light Up Crochet Hook
Next up, I got an exciting addition to my crochet hook collection: an interchangeable light-up crochet hook. This hook features an ergonomic handle and comes with various hook sizes. The best part is that it lights up, making it easier to crochet in low-light conditions. I already own some light-up hooks, but this one caught my attention due to its compact design. I can simply plug it into my computer and start crocheting. I'm eager to test it out and compare it to my current light-up hooks.
All Me Hooks
Adding to my collection of hooks, I also purchased some unique OMMI hooks. These hooks come in a pink and green box and feature a comfortable grip for ease of use. I picked up a 5.5mm hook and an 8mm hook. The colors and design of these hooks caught my eye, and I'm excited to see how they perform in my crochet projects. I'll definitely be sharing my thoughts and experiences with these hooks in a future review.
Yarn Holder
To keep my yarn from rolling all over the place, I invested in a yarn holder that works specifically for yarn cakes. The concept is similar to a yarn bowl, but instead of the center-pull yarn, it accommodates cakes where you pull from the outside. This handy tool keeps your yarn secure and prevents it from tangling or rolling away. I find it particularly useful for projects where a center pull isn't necessary. I'm looking forward to trying it out with my favorite cake yarns and see how it enhances my crochet experience.
Crochet Books
No haul is complete without adding some crochet books to my collection. I love discovering new patterns and techniques, so I treated myself to a few crochet books that caught my attention. One of them is "Granny Squares," which is filled with a variety of projects made using granny squares. This book provides endless possibilities for creating blankets, accessories, and even garments with this classic crochet motif.
For the upcoming Halloween season, I purchased a spooky-themed crochet project book called "Spectacular." It's packed with Halloween-inspired patterns and designs. Although I'll be saving this book for next October, I couldn't resist replacing the one that got damaged.
Lastly, I picked up a book called "Modern Guide to Textured Crochet," which focuses on different stitch combinations to create unique and visually appealing textures in your crochet projects. This book serves as a valuable resource for those who want to take their crochet skills to the next level. I'm excited to explore the various stitch patterns and experiment with different textures in my future projects.
Conclusion
In conclusion, my Amazon crochet haul was a success. I added several useful tools and resources to my collection, including pom-pom makers, an interchangeable light-up crochet hook, OMMI hooks, a yarn holder, and some crochet books. I can't wait to dive into these new supplies and share my experiences and reviews with you. Stay tuned for future videos on my channel where I'll be showcasing these items in action and providing more in-depth insights. Happy crocheting!
