[Nfb-krafters-korner] For the new year:Friday's question

[Joy Relton]

Row, a craft room! I'm jealous, I think. I'm afraid that would mean that I
would have to have some sort of skill in lots of things, be organized or
something. (grin)

I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PICK UP STITCHES WHICH WERE DROPPED IN THE PAST BUT NOT
OFTEN. I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE LIFE LINE AND THINK THAT A DISCUSSION OF
TECHNIQUES TO USE IN PICKING UP DROPPED STITCHED OR CORRECTING ERRORS MIGHT
BE INTERESTING IN THE FUTURE.

Well, you got me thinking, so I had to go down to my craftroom and hunt for 
mine because I didn't remember them as you described.  Much to my surprise I

found them.  What I have are called cro hooks.  They are 14 inches long with

the same size hook on both ends.  They come in a set of two, each hook is a 
different size.  I have two sets, I and N and J and K.  There is print info 
with them.  I will either look cro hooking up online or try to read the 
instructions with my phone.

I also found a bonus while hunting in my craftroom.  I knew I had two of 
those gauges to find out the size of a knitting needle, but I couldn't find 
either one.  Now I found one.
