Very cute...I am new here and have not made any scrunchies yet. But I will give this one a try...Also, I like the looks of your crochet hook. Have never seen one like that...What are they called and where do you purchase them? I am still just using aluminum or silver hooks. :-) Thanks. Loretta
ReplyDeleteThat is a Clover Soft Touch hook. JoAnn and Michaels here both carry them. Good thing to use your coupons on. I think the regular price is $6.99.
