It takes a little extra time but it makes it much easier to see the stitch with those pesky lashes out of the way!</li> </ol> Hope that helps! Bonnie, I find that a few things help:

  1. light the work really well
  2. work into the back loops only (they are easier to spot!)
  3. I have a little trick – I don’t know if I can describe it, but I’ll try: I use the forefinger of my non-crocheting hand to stroke the lashes from the back loop backwards and then down behind the work. It takes a little extra time but it makes it much easier to see the stitch with those pesky lashes out of the way!

Hope that helps!

Every time I try, I just can't find my stitches! (I edged a pair of socks in a soft eyelash...very cute...but what a pain!) Any tips for working with the fuzzy yarns in such a small space?

I've been trying to find a way to make a Pygmy Puff (from Harry Potter), and this looks like the perfect pattern! I have so much furry yarn it is insane, so this will be the perfect way to get rid of it!. Does this work with boa yarn too? These look so cute!

Every time I use it I get very frustrated and end up putting the project aside. Would like any tips on how to stop this. I was wondering how you keep the fur yarn from getting all tangled.
