my crochet tools

hooks

recently, i stumbled across the tulip etimo crochet hook set on pinterest. i absolutely ADORED it, as the colors are soo cute and its such a nice set ! then i purchased my own set after many hours of deliberation, and i can safely say they are totally worth it.

costing a little less than $100, the set includes 10 crochet hooks, 2 darning needles, a pair of VERY well-crafted sewing scissors, and an adorable pink case. the hooks come in varying shades of pink on the handle, with the hooks themselves being a nice silver color. other than appearances, the hooks are very very nice to work with ! they truly do glide through yarn, and they have somehow made me crochet faster ??? not exactly sure, but they have been such a pleasure to work with. although they have a hefty price tag, i personally think this set is very worth it (for me, at least).

stitch markers

my favorite stitch markers i have are these plastic ones with hearts on the end! theyre very cute and they make me very happy. i also have regular plastic ones, and plastic ones from daiso that are little circles and dont really click closed (theyre... not my fave)

in general, i prefer plastic ones because the metal ones seem to always split my yarn, which gets pretty annoying. my metal markers are also WAY too thin for some of the yarn i use, so sometimes they just... fall out... maybe i just have faulty metal stitch markers

measuring tape

i just have a $5 measuring tape from lowe's... nothing special LOL ! i want to decorate it, because its kind of an ugly red, but idk. but yeah i just have a random measuring tape. im not a very Specialized crocheter lol !
