Hairpin Crochet

It's amazing how much you can get onto a hairpin prong. This is the entire length of the hairpin 'Skinny Scarf' I designed for BellaOnline Crochet. There was no need to worry about taking some loops off - I could have carried on further!

I wrote a 'how to' piece for Bella which can be found here.

Oh - and where do you get hairpins from? Well, Ian kindly bent me one out of a coat hanger - it is really easy to do and a great way to practice the technique before er, forking out on a fork. We've got instructions for making a Hairpin Fork at 10,000 Great Ideas.
