I am primarily a knitter, but also do some sewing, crocheting etc....
Now knitters don't need scissors as often as sewers. But come on now. I have bought many, many scissors, but when I need a pair there are none.
Is there a scissor black hole in my house?
I'm off on a scissor hunt, and ways to prevent this from happening again. I have seen scissor fobs but never was interested in them. Should I be now?
How do you keep track of your scissors???? Please help me....
I found some scissor tails here or here.
But they look like they might get in the way...
Do I need a scissor keeper? http://lynetteandersondesigns.typepad.com/lynette_anderson_designs/2008/09/here-kitty.html
Or a scissor leash? http://www.brodys8004balloons.com/product_p/36410a.htm
How do you track your scissors? And/or keep them where you need them.
May your needles fly as fast as Dragonflies...
Hmm, for me, I always put the scissors back into my pen mug, along with my bunch of crochet hooks. That way, it'll always be there when I need it.
ReplyDeleteI do the same with my hooks too. No matter what the WIP is, I almost never keep the hook with the project. I always put them back into the mug, taking it out only when I want to continue the WIP. I'd go crazy if I ever lose any. lol!
I have the exact same problem with my scissors every time I turn around they are gone. I don't know if I have scissor gnomes or what & its only me and the bf here & he swears he isn't hiding them. I should have about 3 pairs in each room of this place by now lol.
ReplyDeleteI have solved the problem by having at least 2-3 pair of scissors in each room. I kid you not. Kitchen only has one pair, tho. Living room: 3; each bathroom has 1 pair -- you get the idea.
ReplyDeleteNo idea, we are constantly losing scissors. Although every now and then the scissor gremlins return them all at once and we suddenly have an over-abundance of them
ReplyDeleteI took about a yard of 1/4" ribbon and made a necklace--just one big loop that goes through the thumb-hole of my snips and then I can wear it around my neck. Between uses I hang it on a hook over my sewing desk (next to my wall-mounted spool holder and threaded-needle pincushion).
ReplyDeleteI never lose them. :)
Well, first of all, I have scissors in almost every room of my house, except the bedroom. I even keep a pair in my knitting bag. I think it is essential that you have at least 10, then you are bound to find at least 1 when you need it. =)
