    Do you have any sweater kits left? I am a newbie and loving your videos! You are so good at tuning out Button-LOL. Thanks for your time on all the wonderful videos!

    This is one of my ALL-TIME FAVE videos! Not sure how many times I've replayed it, but every time Buttons comes racing around the corner of the bushes behind you, yapping all the way, 'n you just completely ignore him, CRACKS ME UP!!! And THEN, when the neighbor coincidentally starts his mower, LOL!!! It's totally a John Belushi flashback... Anyhoo, HUMUNGO INSPIRATION, as always! THANX, Deana!!! x

    Omg! Amazing upcycling project! That's a beautiful piece you made. I want to make a wool rug out of my stash of wool sweaters. Have only done latch hooking as a kid so I'll need to watch your beginner rug hooking to see how you are locking the strips into place. Thanks so much!

    @paulaneary7877 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Where do you get one of those cutters? OMG, I am dying again, that ashtray! My dad had an ashtray like that right next to his easy chair that he sat in after work and smoked and watched t.v. Yep, when people still smoked in the house! I am totally going to get one, I will probably see one someday, I am in thrift stores enough! Memory Lane for sure!

    • @RibbonCandyHooking
      @RibbonCandyHooking  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I always recommend getting them second hane because they're over $400 new - a company called Bliss sells them - they're beautiful and last forever. If you want a used one send me a message at ribboncandyhooking@gmail.com because I always know who's got one to sell. The ashtray! Isn't it funny to see stuff like that from childhood!

    • @RibbonCandyHooking
      @RibbonCandyHooking  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I like 6 and 7 the most. I use 8 a lot, but 8 is just a little bit harder to pull through the monk's cloth. Anything under a 5 I try to avoid

  • @zainylainy1

      Try to search for Bliss or Fraser Wool cutters, they should come with replaceable cutting heads for different sized strips.

      I have it mostly out because I constantly go to it, so I have little felt balls I've used a cedar oil dropper on, dropping a little bit of oil on each ball. Room smells wonderful and I haven't seen a single moth since I started using cedar oil.

      @RibbonCandyHooking  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This one is a cutter from Fraser Rugs. These are $425 so it's good to find them used on Facebook. I always say using a rotary cutter and quilt ruler is GREAT too. The Fraser only cute a couple strips at a time so it's not like it's a lot faster for all that money.

      Sure, I use both the sissex cutter which comes from the old tattered flag rug hooking shop. I use trays number 8 and number 6 the most and I also use my Bliss cutter which is a little vintage strip slicer that are found on eBay in all the 2nd hand trading rug hooking groups on Facebook.

      Its a Bliss cutter sometimes called a Fraser. I usually use a faster cutter but with these you can resharpen the blades so I tend to use it with anything but traditional milled wool just in case what I'm cutting dulls the blades
