Crochet Hooks, Yarn Winders, Yarn, and Tapestry Needles
Challenge:
Make a lens about a power Tool in honor of Bonnie's Husband's Birthday.
Okay, so technically it's not a powertool as most people see power tools but it is a tool and the power behind the tool is the users energy.
Crochet is more than just crochet hooks though, you'll need yarn, scissors, tape measure or ruler and of course patterns either self made or purchased. If you want to expand your craft into spinning your own yarn you'lll need a spinning wheel, a yarn ball winder, or even a drop spindle.

- As always, you have some great resources and advice for us 'crochet' crafters! Great video about "weaving in loose ends" -- took me a long time to learn to do that well -- my very early projects often had the 'ends' popping out! Am lensrolling to my How-to crochet a baby octopus lens.
