Every craft needs its own “sewing box” there are so many tiny things I use to crochet with: stitch markers, safety eyes, scissors, crochet hooks, darning needles, needle threaders, measuring tape, stitch gauges, etc. the tiny pieces for the hook holder are simply more of those tiny pieces. I have t8ny ziploc bags and sectioned organizers I put in a sewing box. All my stuff is in one place. Less loss. Lesson learned at almost 70 years of age.

Clover (brand) makes the yarn cutter. Legal for airplanes. I tend to keep it on a keychain or in my tin with hooks. The egg is a must-have for me - my smallest hook is 0.25mm and ridiculously hard to hold. Put the little rubber gaskets in with your stitch markers. ;) I weave as I stitch - typically only have to sew in the final tail or sewing tails for amigurumi (which is easy because I stab the critters). You finishing an icord with so much joy was the best ever. Wonder knitter is a nifty gadget and less intimidating for crocheters than trying to take up knitting. Thank you for noting stuff for folx with nerve damage. So many gizmos are rated without the less-abled in mind. If you have nerve damage or strength issues, carpel tunnel, etc, a lot of that stuff gets overlooked with all the sensational as-seen-on-tv type hacks. I'm sorry you have to deal with those nerve issues, and appreciative that you think of them in your ratings. This video made me like & subscribe. I hope you keep finding things that make you as joyous as the wonder knitter. 😊

That's called I-cord that the fun tool makes. I just made my niece a cord, of crochet cotton, to put a beautiful {IMO}glass ring onto as a necklace. That would have made it way faster and easier than knitting with thread 🧵 in essence. 😮😅 If ya use a DBL pointed needle & don't turn, just slide like 3 or 4 stitches to your working end of the needle... you get I-cord 😊.

Also a hack for threading your needles: if you have a stray piece of paper (I’ve used a post office receipt in a pinch), cut it to where it’s thin enough to fit into the eye of the needle and wrap it around your yarn. Always works because it keeps everything from fraying while you try to squeeze the yarn through. I think I saw that on Instagram or something and it changed my life lol

For a nice crochet cord you can try this: start with a slipknot, leaving a tail about 2 to three times as long as you want your cord to be. Chain 1. Now fold your end tail over your hook, going from front to back. This creates a second loop on your hook. Yarn over with your working end and pull through both loops. Continue like this to make your cord. Create a second loop with the tail end every time and "chain" through both loops.

A truth stranger than fiction: according to the TSA's published guidelines you can bring small scissors with you on a plane but not one of those thread/yarn cutters. ( See under "Sewing Needles" 🤷♀) I have one of the ergonomic hook holder handles obtained second hand so I never had the directions and some washers are missing. I found the washers can be stored inside the handle when it's not in use. I liked the feel of it when I tried using it, but I found that my 3.75 hook kept rotating inside the handle so that I had to repeat the yarn over motion for every stitch; not sure if that was from the wrong washer or just the hook is too small for compatibility. I hope you'll give us an update after using the bendy hooks for a while, do the hooks pull out of the handles over time?
