does this work on the acrylic hooks too? those dang things dont slide very good

[tjw1963]

@txsunshinecowgirl I would think it would work. I only have the large acrylic hooks so I have not tried it yet.

I might just start vacationing for the sole reason of gathering soap, shampoos and conditioner for the homeless shelter downtown. I actually never thought of doing that before.

@SniffyTugBoat You would be surprised at how quickly they add up during a 7 day vacation.

I'm not sure if anyone else does this, or if they sell something for this purpose, but when i take a break from a project for awhile, i take my hook out and put a clip on the loop where the hook goes, I use those little Carabiner type clips jus cuz i happen to have a package of them, but ive used keychain clips, even hair clips work, Especially when your traveling or something so you dont have to worry about your work getting pulled out :)

I use those tiny hair claw-type clips, too. They work extremely well. I was so surprised to see that someone else uses them too.  I also use stitch markers made colored paper clips; I found the directions online. They work well also.

Theyre just those soft pencil grippers. I get mines @ walmart in the stationary section. They also say to hit the hardware section for some clear plastic tubing but I use tape or a rubberband then the pencil gripper. Just Google it. @Meshia2185

I do not think I have ever had that problem but that's a great tip for if I ever rub into that problem visiting family :)
