Hobby Lobby Finds
I’ve heard so much buzz lately about Hobby Lobby, I decided to locate one and go for a visit. My daughter and I drove out last week and it was worth the trip. I was very surprised by how big the store was, and with all the different items they carried. I found some iron on transfers, which I haven’t seen in years, and they had such a big selection. I used to love to embroider when I was growing up. I still have my old hoop, and one more pillowcase to finish to make a set that I started many years ago. The design is peach roses in various sizes with a scalloped edge that I had planned on putting a crochet border on. Maybe someday I’ll get around to it, now that I’m inspired by these.
We came across some beautiful crochet hooks made of wood. I wanted to get one, they were so pretty. I use the pencil hold when I crochet and I need that flat area for my thumb. I thought the straight hooks would be better for the knife hold. So I put that one back, and got a new “G” hook instead. I found some white Sinfonia cotton yarn for a summer hat I’m making too.
Have you ever seen such giant crochet hooks? These are interesting.
We found out that they carry nylon thread, I was so excited. My daughter was telling me to calm down in the aisle. It was nice to see so many colors in person as I usually order it online. The clerk kept coming by and asking if we needed help, as I was taking photos of hooks, yarn & transfers and going crazy over the thread section! I was doing just fine and loving it there.
For our first visit, we only saw half the store and only bought a couple things. I’ve been thinking of some colors of nylon that I didn’t buy but wish I had. I might have to get over there again soon for a nylon thread run, and to see the rest of the store too.
Thanks for reading!
Have a great day!
