Cute Little Shade Pull

This shade pull is very fast and easy and could easily be the base for a really cute lapel pin by adding a bow, and perhaps some ribbon roses. And then a pin to the back. Or if you use green thread and some red beads and a red bow, you could have a really festive Christmas wreath pin.

Random Quick Tip!

What Size Hook?
If you are the type to have many projects going at the same time and some of those projects require the same size hook, well what do you do to mark your spot and remember what hook size is needed? Well, Julie Morash gave me the idea of making a marker which would have the size hook on it and then you would stick it in your work. Well I went with this concept and came up with using a plastic tab from a loaf of bread and mark the size hook on it with a magic marker and put it at the last stitch. That way, when you go back to work on the project, you will know what size hook to use for it. Thanks Julie for the inspiration and the idea plant.
