The Shtick I Do

I went on a Facebook and Pinterest search this morning and guess what? I could NOT find what I was looking for! Not surprising considering all the information that streams through those two social media sites but still . . . it's a bit irritating. Does anyone remember the Sears Catalog? Okay, if you do, you know what I mean when I say "it was like trying to find something a second time in the Sears Catalog" . Those of you that don't have a clue? Well, it's okay, we still love you.

The size of the hook inside the pen is 3/2.10MM. I like this size for making ornaments and crosses and such for Christmas. If I had been thinking (lol, that's funny) I would made this back in November when I was making them! I can see more of these in my future, once the ink runs out of a few more pens that are ergonomically hand-friendly. Or if I find one that doesn't write well. ^_^ By the way, feel free to follow me on Pinterest (Karen Vaughn - my pic is a crochet S'more ), I'm also on Instagram (crochet2002) and Twitter (@crochet2002).
