Thread Picot Tutorial

I've had a few people ask me about making a tutorial on picots. I finally, had time to make one.

First, you need to ch3 or whatever number your pattern says is needed for the picot.

Photobucket
In the ch3, there is a left side and a right side of each chain. Slip your hook thru the left side ONLY loop.

Photobucket
After slipping thru the left side loop, wrap the thread around the hook once, pinch the picot and pull down using your thumb and forefinger, while pulling the loop thru. (Sometimes this is a bugger to do, but pulling down makes the picot puffy)

Photobucket
Voila! Your finished ch3 picot.

what? so I collect yarn


I have realized I have a small problem. Hubby and I were talking when he mentions I have my "yarn stuff" all over the house and I couldn't contain it if I wanted to. To which I reply, its not that much and yes I could get it all organized if I wanted to. But, its nice having a project +supplies in the living room, and another in the bedroom, and yet another, just in case project, and one in my car, for when I'm out and about visiting and what not.
So, that inspired me to just see if I could somewhat organize my small little hoard of thread/yarn. Not to daunting of a task, right? After empting my "thread chest" and closet in the bedroom, and the yarn trunk in the laundry room....and after emptying the 2 chests in the living room and the wip bags and boxes. I realized. I do have a problem.
But, you know when we find a good deal we must purchase and store. I have been grounded yet again from purchasing and storing LOL. I have to get some of this stuff worked up. I didnt realize just how much stash I really had. I'll leave you with pics of sorting, storing, and all those pattern books I didnt realize I had. Moral: have better hiding places.
