I’m human. I have weaknesses. Books (I have thousands), jewelry (which I hardly ever wear), figurines (which I finally stopped buying), hooks (which I have sort of stopped buying), and small scissors (because they’re so cute). I hate shopping in general so I don’t fall for many gimmicks. I tend to overthink every purchase. But then I discovered Wish, and my weaknesses got triggered.
My son recently told me he purchased some shirts on the site Wish for a decent price and I was curious about it. I had seen a YouTuber that had a post about Wish, and I checked that out. Granted, many things on the site turn out to be junk and not worth even the small amount you might spend. But still… I dangerously went on the site to see for myself, and I couldn’t help myself. I bought something, something I didn’t need.
Weakness 1) Some of you may remember that I have a wee bit of a problem with crochet hooks. Not surprising, I’m sure. I absolutely and unequivocally don’t need more crochet hooks but… they had a set that I couldn’t resist.
Admittedly, I have plenty of tunisian crochet hooks but I don’t have any with the string. I don’t have any projects in mind at the moment but now I will be prepared for anything!
I can easily see why you bought them. They do look great. I saw Wish too and added the app on my phone and fell for the odd bit too. The teddy fleece cardigan I got is actually lovely and warm. Some of the stuff is real junk and you are tempted to buy just for the sake of it. So I uninstalled the app not to be tempted again. That was my “Wish” experience. π

That is such a good idea π I only do Tunesian Crochet on regular aluminum hooks – therefore only small pieces – because the long, stiff hook got so heavy π Yeah, Iβm a wuss with weak wrists π₯΄ I hope you like them, Yolanda π·π§Ά

I make a lot of small projects like dolls and cases with Tunisian, so the regular hooks are fine. But I do have a nice set of the longer ones. I really didnβt need these, and I havenβt even used them yet. Iβm terrible! π But Iβm still glad I have them. π
