Do you have any tips on not getting the stitches so tight? I am trying to keep them a little looser, but my hands are killing me from pushing and pulling so much with the hook.
Since your holding the rigid twine it will be a bit tougher. Try a bigger hook or just hold the yarn/twine looser and make bigger loops.
These are just too cute. I love the size, but you can easily go up or down if needed. Baskets can be used for quick gifts by adding a few small items.
I love your new YouTube intro. Your kids just get cuter and cuter.
Thanks!
