Next up is the Crochet Starlight Christmas Afghan for Jenna. Yet another project that I should really make again. I know I keep saying that. To be honest, going through all my past projects has really been fun. Without a doubt I would recommend everyone taking a trip down memory lane every now and then. You never know what projects you’ll come across that you’ll want to stitch again. Then again, you may come across a few you are happy you only stitched once!

Yarn used for the Crochet Starlight Christmas Afghan
Oh I am getting so frustrated with myself. I did not write down or notate anywhere the yarn that I used for so many of these projects I made. The pattern lists the yarn red heart super saver as the one to use, but I’m pretty sure I would have used Vanna’s Choice or Red Heart Soft. Without a doubt you should be safe using just about any worsted weight yarn for this project.
A few good substitutes would be: Lion Brand , Red Heart Soft, Bernat Softee Baby and Caron Simply Soft, to name a few.
Great yarn websites to check out would be: LoveCrafts, Lion Brand, Knitpicks/We Crochet , and Mary Maxim.
Crochet Hooks and tools
For this project I used U.S. Size H (5.0 mm) hook.
Furthermore, something else that comes in handy if you decide you’d like to stitch these sets up for yourself is a good set of crochet hooks. Undoubtedly my favorite brand to use are the Knit Picks brand.
I also have a cute little set from Amazon that I love too. You can buy this one fairly inexpensively and it comes with some tools and notions that will be helpful too. Several buying options to choose from and I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them. 🙂 Additionally I have the light up set pictured below. I love that it’s rechargeable!
Additional Tools for when your wrists and/or hands ache
If you are like me and you knit and crochet a lot, something that I have found is useful at times is a pair of stress relief gloves. I own a few different kinds, but I do think any of them is better than not using anything at all if your hands and wrists are bothering you. In fact I’ll include a few links for you to check out.
