ADDI EXPRESS KINGSIZE and my Dragon Scale Scarf

WOW! **Yawn and stretch**

I sincerely am sorry for taking so long to give you another post, it feels like I have been "Sleeping on the Job" and am waking from that slumber...

I got around to making a video demonstrating my new technique "Active  Crochet Cast Off"
and got a question on my YouTube Tutorial (opens in a new window).

This question was great, and what I forgot to mention, is that with a crochet cast off, you are not limited to a one stitch decrease. I have another pattern using my technique which involves active reshaping (a reversible flat scarf). 

On a personal note, I have been under the weather's spell... Now the sunshine is here it helps the day go by that much nicer... I have been trialing new medicine, and its good, but it seems I need bigger doses and they are just right in between to keep me coherent and active, its pretty great :) and maybe back to school for me...

ADDI EXPRESS & KINGSIZE Crochet Cast off Tool

I made this and it has been somewhat helpful, I held the post back because its "not 100%", in saying that... I love interaction  with other crafters and creative minds... So here is what I have so far... My thoughts are for a better "needle end" and a reminder not to roll up the tool when I'm done... Those kinks are hideously annoying lol

Here we go... 

Tunisian cabled needle, wool needle, heat shrink, scissors

Trim the tail of cable

Cut wool needle and wedge into end of cable

Slide a snug fitting piece of heat shrink over needle and cable

Use a hair dryer on high setting to set heat shrink

The finished cast off tool :)

Enjoy!

Post your pics of your tool to my Facebook page http://facebook.com/CrezzyCrochet 

I look forward to seeing yours!
