Crochet Night, No Notes

Start with the yarn, not the kit

The yarn decides whether a project looks homemade in the good way or the sad way. This set is 12 skeins of 100% cotton, 50 g each, in lavender, pink, butter yellow, mint, sage, sky blue and periwinkle. Cotton holds stitch definition, so granny squares actually look like granny squares.

The kit is still worth it if you are new. The blush hanging organizer bag holds the hooks, markers and a starter stash, and it hangs on a hook or the back of a chair so it is never at the bottom of a basket.

The hooks you will not hide

This hook set has pearl-white heads from 4 mm to 10 mm and one swirled pastel jelly handle that clicks onto each one, all in a clear pink case. It looks expensive and the soft handle is easier on your hands than a skinny metal hook.

Where the yarn lives

The yarn bowl is deep green ceramic with a raised diamond pattern, 6 inches across and 4 inches tall. The ball sits inside and the strand feeds out through the slot, so it stops rolling under the couch and the dog stops stealing it.

The tote is blush pink corduroy, about 11 by 9 inches, with yarn holes, inside pockets and a matching hook roll tied with a ribbon. It is the one that goes to the waiting room, the car line and your friend's house.

What is real and what is styling

The five finds are the crochet kit, the hook set, the cotton yarn, the yarn bowl and the corduroy tote. The bench, lamp, granny-square blanket, quilt, mug, ivy, rug, wire basket, kitchen, dog and tumbler in these photos are styling extras.
