Two days ago I bought a high-end needle from the city for $ 11.28 after taxes. When I was in the store it was hard for me to see exactly what was in the bags, but I knew I was not seeing a large number of knitting needles and at least I was sure it was mine. I bought bags, took them home, opened Christmas carols, opened the owl, and spent a wonderful night working out my collection of sweaters.
I went over the contents of the first two bags, not asking for anything. This search includes a 3.75 mm straight pair, a 7 mm straight pair, a 10 mm straight pair, a set of four 7 mm DPNs, a 30 mm 7 mm ball, protective rubber needles and a 2.5 gauge He brought me 2 hooks. mm and 9 mm. I also found a set of three ribbon needles of different sizes. Maybe I had at least one needle of this size, but I did not mind having others on hand when it broke / disappeared, so I put it in a plastic needle box in my work basket. At this point I decided to buy bags. Purchasing all of these items costs more than $ 11.28 in total.
I remember taking the rest of the needles and placing the donation bag in the dressing room in the neighborhood. A project fell on them. Maybe I can replace these pairs with groups of the same size as the Pinata.
I found my collection with crystal stitching on the ceiling and adjusted the size of the dress ... I started laughing. Overall, looking at all my straight knitting needles, I realized how many fell in a way I had never understood before. I had a lot of needles that lacked the latest keys, and there were others the size of the old button. I had a 5 mm pair that did not fit on two buttons of different styles. Some needles are slightly bent. And I did not realize that I was too busy making dots.
To see what I could improve, I started comparing what I had in my current collection with a needle bag and started putting it next to each other to replace the new tools I had added to my collection or eight pairs. I replaced all the needles with missing buttons or outdated numbers and unrelated pairs. I replaced a pair of plastic metal needles of the same size. I also changed some nice signs, but different from the other Eros knitting needles to a more convenient set (most stripes are classic gray metal or plastic - the last buttons are marked in millimeter sizes). Most folded needles were replaced during the process.
When I finished, I was particularly pleased with the purchase. I bought these bags with the idea of adding new dimensions to the needle set and I do not think it was worth upgrading the existing needles, but it was a great option. . My Directory collection fits very well.
After listing and reviewing everything, I updated my sweater needle catalog to reflect my new purchase. Yes, I have an Excel spreadsheet that I use to track the type of knitting needle and I have a catalog of a second sewing thread counting catalog. I know that sounds like a lot, but if I have the right number of rows, DPN or circles for the project, it's better to be able to see it at a glance than to have to go through all my pins for them understand it.
I also thought about my needle collection in general. What do I need most for her? As you can see in the screenshot in my catalog, I lost a few needles to make a whole set, especially in small quantities. I will increase the number of those missing over time, or if I choose a model that needs a needleless needle right away. I have some high quality aluminum DPNs that I want to replace, but will definitely wait until I get a lot of new ones. I currently store my DPNs with an eraser and it is very boring to see them with a needle gauge, so I want to make a separate portfolio for my DPNs. Get the size you want.
While updating the catalog of sweater needles, I added the crochet section. I mention a few and I do not have a large hook, but now that I have only six, eight different sizes on my hands, I thought it would be important to keep what I have for reference in the future.
I definitely do not need to update my newsletters. Last December, due to the epidemic, I could only spend Christmas. I saw the price ... Well, what I did was the perfect hurricane offer. I broke my budget by buying a set of ChiaoGoos. Nine months later, it still looked very good to be true, and I must have been very lucky to have had such a wonderful tool and used it more than I expected.
This is my old circle collection, so find out why I was so excited to find the ChiaoGoo collection. The various circuits were very good, but I found that the convertible circuit kit 5 years ago was a dense kit store and was confusing. I had to remind myself that it was better than nothing because it was not so much. The kit was partially incomplete and partly broken. They were released in the middle of the turn and my 50 points or more slipped off the rope. I gritted my teeth and got tired, five minutes later the same thing happened. Just thinking about it raises my blood pressure.
I waited because the two old circular needles were not from the Chiago collection and went to the store on the other side, but did not expose another poor sweater in front of that satanic torture tool that is a circular needle. Prepared sweater needle. Denise’s collection went in the trash and before I put it in my bag, I saw a harmless blue vinyl sleeve, so I muttered a few words in Latin so that it would suddenly not appear anywhere in my house, with Ouija boards or with cursed burning. dolls in those old villages.
I remember some stories I knew about people who thought they needed a shiny new tool for every move. My father was
an award-winning carpenter with many carpenter friends, and he told me the story of a friend who had a large lumber shop with tens of thousands of dollars in his house. Woodworking tools and equipment, all in a clean environment አይደለም Not at all like a carpenter. This lawyer has never used woodworking tools, knows how to use them and has made no effort to learn them. They were there to show off his wonderful carpentry workshop to anyone visiting the house. The irony was, of course, that when he wanted to look like a carpenter with tools, he looked like an instrument.
Or my friend, who started playing tennis in the late '90s, bought two new, high-quality tennis stands for $ 50 and $ 60 each and then played ball in a game you could not play online (no mundem). he told me he wanted to.
And there is another story told by my retired aunt, my mother and daughter, who came to the store to get a sewing machine for a girl who was doing a fashion design course. They bought a low-end car and returned a few weeks later. The daughter did not use it but was sure she would use a better machine and her mother bought her a very expensive machine with many features. A few weeks later they brought a second sewing machine, invented it and the girl did not use a refurbished sewing machine.
Excessive prices and the purchase of new equipment offline is a sign of the devil, and experts and professionals are generally satisfied with the tools they need, often updating what they have more than the cost of purchasing a specialist. Tools you rarely use. No matter how bright and new the device is, or how much fun it is to buy, it will not be worth it and will replace it with taste, skill, experience or dedication and true dedication. As for the needles, after all it is the right size for your sewing, the right type for every project you are working on and not the quality and / or overall condition. Just as the straight point was a great way to enhance my collection, and as much as I like the Chiaogo collection, the improved stitching set does not make or function better than the previous ones. They are nicer, lighter, prettier and more comfortable to use, and give me some other measurement options. I want to replace my cheap colored aluminum DPNs with a better quality kit that I know will eventually break or fold, but now I can work with them as much as possible with the best DPNs in the market.
Like that carpenter's lawyer, my dad's carpenter is not seen. She has a variety of tools, many of which are visible and decades old, and the impurity and chaos of the workshop is a long-term threat to her and my mother's marriage. But when damaged equipment is needed and rebuilt from time to time, they usually have everything they need to get the job done and the woodwork surpasses the beauty, the wonder and the real success. New tools can be very expensive.
The tools are good, but the right thing to do - what you have learned, what you can achieve - is ultimately very important.
