Happy Monday Needleworkers and contest joiners! Last week has been such a trying moment. I got stressed out, I got worried, I panicked. But I am now back in the game, I got my grip back. I'm fine now. I think.
Last week, we had our Guess the WIP Challenge. And now, since I was stressed out for the whole week, let me show you a video of the reveal. I decided to share the process to you.
And the WIP is for a Crochet earrings! Tadaaaaaaa!!!
This was just a small project but it became a bit challenging because of the choice of yarn and hooks I made. I used the IMIA type hook (but not really IMIA, it's a different brand) for this project. As I mentioned before, I now have 4 sets of crochet hooks. 1 bamboo hooks, 1 metal hook, and 2 with plastic handles for easier grip. I also have an IMIA 7. I used the one coming from the plastic handle set.
If you are after the tight finish of the stitches, I would recommend you go ahead and use a hook size smaller than the hook requirement of your yarn. I'll discuss how to determine that in my next vids and posts.
With the 8 ply yarns, it became a little bit more challenging because strands of the yarn kept slipping away from the hook. I managed to pull it off though. Woot! Woot!
I made a boo boo when I made the WIP announcement. There was a mystery item that I chose not to show. Because once I show the earring hooks, you all will know what the WIP is, right? But I should have stated that there was a mystery item in this project. I know you all would have guessed differently if that clue was stated in the post.
So, to make up for that boo boo, I decided to make each of you a winner! Yay! I feel this is also a way of thanking you for always checking out my Guess the WIP post. :)
I'll go ahead and transfer 1HP on each of you who joined. You all make this contest even more fun every week. Thank you very much!
Watch out for more of the next Guess The WIP challenge! :)
