The bird on the embroidery scissors is a stork. Traditionally, midwives and other birthing assistants would have knitting or embroidery with them to keep their hands busy while a mother was laboring. Their sewing kit was usually thrown in with their birthing kit, which included stork-shaped clamps. Best I can tell, stork scissors were kitschy merchandise geared toward midwives and they eventually became mainstream

[@JustBeCrafty]

That's so interesting Linda! Thank you so much for taking the time to share!

[@jahbern]

That’s a great explanation! Midwives delivered all four of my babies (which is unusual in the US), but none of them knitted or crocheted or did needlework. What a lovely gift that would make for a midwife ❤️

[@philomenameyer3812]

I was going to tell her the same. 😂😊

[@bellacucina3209]

I've noticed also that embroidery scissors are now simply called scissors. I love the antique style.

[@ingesexton811]

I would be so mad if I looked over at my midwife and she was just knitting away 😂😂😂

[@aandjdusik]

Clover amore is my favorite as well. The necks are so smooth. Yarn glides over it so nicely. My go to hooks always!

[@dianapulido1807]

I use the small hooks to weave in ends sometimes usually when I forget my needles or if it is just a short piece of yarn.

[@JustBeCrafty]

That's a great idea!

[@tdewtx]

I got a set of stork scissors in a knit crate pack. I gave them to my granddaughter to put in the little crochet kit I made her. She was thrilled.

[@jofagan4375]

As a new crocheter I bought the Amazon set and I really like them. So many hooks and so little time! 🧶

[@chrisgreek4285]

I have been knitting for over forty years, and crocheting for about ten and I have NEVER seen the reusable produce bags nor the laundry bags used for WIPs or designating yarn for a project. That is PURE GENIUS! I have always saved the zip up plastic bags that bed linens come in, but after so many years and so many projects, they are tatty beyond belief. Thank you for this economical and brilliant idea!

[@katierajkowski7714]

Very helpful video. I bought a kit like the last one & totally love it too. The laundry bag WIP storage is genius! I would like to see a beginners tutorial on steaming & blocking if you can. Mahalo for the videos!

[@ticketNo713]

I'm just rediscovering your channel and I am already obsessed. I love your honest reviews of these products.

[@moniqueriverin8796]

Just what I needed! I ordered the Clover Amour set. I need quality and plan to crochet a lot this winter !

[@idareandevers9211]

Good morning I'm glad I ran upon you this morning because you had the stitch marker & in need of counter. Thanks

[@Jar0Jess]

Those are totally my favorite stitch markers too!! The open ones

[@kristinrice547]

Ok but your yarn organization is goals

[@carolscrazycrochetmore5093]

Thanks for taking the time to make this great video!! Wonderful information!! 💚😊💚😊

[@JustBeCrafty]

Thank you! I’m glad you found it helpful!

[@susieinthecountry4434]

I like those storage project bags because you can see what your WIP is. Will give them a try. Thanks for sharing.

[@JustBeCrafty]

Yes! Its been a game changer for sure!

[@angelsallaroundu]

Hi all. I am trying to give a dollar store hack to the craft community. When you need hard plastic rings for a deco item, look for the compressed slinkie in the party favor section at the dollar store. Open them up gently and use scissors to cut a ring off but make it to resemble a key chain ring so there is no gap. There should be several in the package so for a dollar you can have alot. Have fun

[@briyanna128]

TYSM!!! This helped a lot bc im getting into crocheting again love ur channel ❤❤

[@KeyserTheRedBeard]

awesome content Just Be Crafty. I smashed the thumbs up on your video. Keep up the brilliant work.

[@Casinogirl56]

I have that last set, am actually doing slippers with the K as we speak. I'm really pleased with it. Great for the beginner who doesn't want to invest a lot of money, or someone like me who mostly works with thread and doesn't use a big hook very often.

[@JustBeCrafty]

That’s great! It’s an awesome set!

[@gailstellar9628]

Great ideas. Thanks for sharing this.

[@JoshBombFiberArts]

Funny that you're mentioning not really having a need for the smaller hooks and needles. I wish more knitting sets came with smallers sizes! The Knitters Pride Karbonz Starter set is a great example. Comes with sizes US2.5-US6! That's my sweet spot for knitting. I wish there was a nickel plated set with these sizes too, but there isn't :(

[@krazymammaw3040]

I love those I use them more often than others

[@leatricewallace6223]

History lesson, the bird scissors are made that way because midwives used to use these to embroider or knit to cut their thread or yarn while waiting for the baby, then I think they used them to cut the cord…can’t remember, google it, anyway, it’s supposed to look like a stork.🙂

[@JustBeCrafty]

So interesting, thank you for sharing! ❤️

[@beckyau03]

that last listing I think I have, it came with 14 hooks for me and I love them, I use them every day

[@viviunia]

This is super helpful! 🙏🏻 thank you✨

[@JustBeCrafty]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sandygrogg1203]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video.. I actually had some of the things you showed us…

[@JustBeCrafty]

Yay! So glad! ❤️

The southern comfort food plate photo after you said "fixings" took me out!! You're speaking a texan's language haha

[@Whirledpeas00Knits]

Great video idea💗💗💗

[@sandygrogg1203]

Forgot to mention that I bought my clovers one or maybe two at a time, and I use my coupons. I bought the black and gold tulips up from Amazon when it was on sale and got it for about 42 bucks. Then I bought a few of the pink tulips, including a small set of four that came in an adorable little pink pouch. They just happen to be all of the sizes that I use the most.

[@carolynyoung6704]

I really loved watching you this was my first but not the last

[@JustBeCrafty]

Yay! Welcome!❤️

[@nene00760075]

I don't know if anyone has said it here, but a Walmart, you can get a set of Boye ergonomic hooks in a pink bag (all the handles are pink too). The sizes range from E-3.50mm to a K-6.50mm. The only issue I have is that Boye has changed their standard sizes (at least on these ergonomic hooks) and sizes I and J are smaller than most. Most I size hooks are 5.50mm and J size hooks are 6mm, these hooks are I-5.25mm and J-5.75mm. Other than that it's a great kit, with a place for yarn needles, a slot for scissors, and a pouch for other accessories( or in my case, extra hooks to cover the odd sized ones). This kit costs only $20, so is a great beginner set that won't break the bank. You can buy accessories like stitch markers and yarn needles separately, or buy a Boye I Taught Myself Crochet for $10 and has those and a starter set of hooks and a beginners guide.

[@JustBeCrafty]

Thank you for sharing!

[@nene00760075]

I own those hooks and I'll say they are very nice, and the ridge in the seam that she was talking about isn't present (I've bought several sets for myself and some friends and never had one with it). I prefer Clover Amours if I can get them, the hybrid hook head is easier for me to use, but the Boye pink ergonomic set is a really good deal and and good quality for the money. Especially, if you prefer tapered hooks (Boye hook head style).

[@terrishamblin7461]

My new favorite crochet hooks are Tulip brand. AMAZING hooks! Best I’ve ever had! I even like them better than Clover Amour.

[@JustBeCrafty]

Tulip are on my list to try!

[@beccogiallo]

What a coincidence, I have those reusable produce and just started using them.

[@angieelliott8741]

I had a yarn needle in my shoe the other day for like half the day....I thought my sock was turned...🤣

[@ericamartin74]

Great video! I have a set of locking stitch markers that looks very similar to the locking stitch markers you showed in this video. Love the idea of using drawstring bags for projects, might have to get these. I also love my ergonomic crochet hooks - got a set from Amazon that come from a company called Bee Craftee I think. Haven't tried knitting or Tunisian crochet yet, I think Tunisian crochet might be next on my list of "crafty" things to learn.

[@colleenpacocha8810]

Love the produce bag/garment bag ideas!

[@JustBeCrafty]

Thank you! Yes - its super helpful!

[@theorane5234]

the flowery pouch thar you shown, I have bought maybe four or five of them over a two year period. To see if it was a mistake or a "bad batch", but all of them had the same issue. The rubber handle/grip, slides off. Like they'll start to come off ajd you have to push tjem back up but then it's not as comfortable. I think the max I was able to use one of the 5.5s was for one queen size blanket project before it was ready for the trash.

[@thursaziegler2351]

Enjoyed watching your video.😊

[@JustBeCrafty]

Yay! Thank you so much for watching!

[@melissarodriguez7166]

2:05 I bent one of my plastic tapestry needles to get that angle. It's so much EASIER!

[@JustBeCrafty]

Haha, love it!! It really is!

[@GentlethemJoey]

I like to crochet in my recliner and I am constantly dropping hooks and scissors and things down into the cracks of my chair, so I bought a pair or scissors with a little holder on a necklace on Amazon so I at least don’t have to worry about my scissors. The scissors are the most worrying thing to lose in the chair/floor because they are so sharp. 😂 But these are attached to me so I can’t lose them. Now I just need a necklace to hold my hook so I don’t set it in random places. 😂

[@JustBeCrafty]

I love it!!

[@jahbern]

That’s so funny. I lost my favorite pair of scissors down the middle of my recliner couch recently. And I couldn’t find them ANYwhere. I turned that ding dang couch all the way over - they are my FAVORITE scissors. Then they just turned up on the floor one day. Maybe the cat got ahold of them? I should make a necklace for them (they aren’t pointy). What a great idea!

[@HANDMADEDESIGNSHD]

Nice reviews and great ideas I love amazon for goodies even I purchased one hook set with pouch also I purchased other goodies like bag holders, kiss claps etc tfs

[@JustBeCrafty]

Nice! Enjoy your new goodies!

[@sewforlife586]

Heres some trivia for ya. Those little bird scissors is actually a stork, and they started out as a midwifes clamps for clamping off the umbilical cord after birth in the 1800s. The stork as we know has long been associated with babies since

[@sandygrogg1203]

Thanks for a nice review Volvos goodies. Have you tried a tulip hook? They are similar to the clovers in a really, really nice. My hands are small, so I use either my clovers or my tulips, and I like my Susan Bates up soft handle hooks Too.

[@spiritsjoy]

The clover amour set is so expensive now....... i bought the 10 set in 2018 for 28 dollars. They have become super popular. As a comparison, i bought the golden Addi crochet interchangeables at the same time and the price remains the same.

[@ourcreativebeehive]

Just a warning for anyone with Nickel Allegry like myself, make sure if you buy a full set not name brand is nickel free. I bought a set to learn with and they made my hands go numb.

[@JustBeCrafty]

Good to know, thanks for sharing! ❤️

In my teen years (45 yrs ago), it was called an afghan hook. Don’t know where “Tunisian” hook came from. It’s an afghan stitch, to use that long crochet hook. But thanks for all your info.

Thank you so much for sharing! Tunisian hook is just another name for the Afghan hook, but they are the same thing.❤️
