@ElmiraOregon That's wonderful! I'm grateful that this sparked some ideas for you. God bless and thanks for watching.

do you have a separate crochet channel as well? i really like your videos and find them with very helpful tips and instructions. if you don't have a crochet channel, i really hope you start one :)

[CraftDknits]

@tooplus2rsevn Sadly, I don't have a crochet channel. I don't know how to crochet either, but I have some great suggestions for you on channels that I occasionally watch crochet tutorials. These ladies are inspiring to pick up a crochet hook and learn.

That's awesome!! Where did you get it and how much does it cost? Thanks!

@SoGoGal I finally go the details from my mom regarding the SteamBuddy. She picked it up from Bed, Bath, & Beyond and it retails for $20.

@CraftDknits Thank yo so much! I have never knitted anything yet that needs to be blocked but if I ever need to block something I know what to use! Thanks again! :)

@outsidethebox3 The yarn I used for this tutorial is Wool-Ease yarn by Lion Brand. The content is 70% acrylic, 20% wool, and 10% polyamide.

what is the fiber content of this swatch? I've read that acrylics won't block flat. So when watching this piece It made me wonder what the swatch was made of.

@CraftDknits Ok thanks!

[CraftDknits]

@SoGoGal Thanks so much. I will ask my mom for the cost and where she purchased it and get back to you.
