Snowflakes and Thread Crochet
I really enjoy crocheting with thread, the smaller the better. Last year I bought the two smallest hooks I could find (.5mm and .4mm, respectively) from Lacis.com. The .5mm hook with #50 cotton sewing thread has become my favorite combination; anything bigger feels so bulky and unwieldy. I would really like to experiment with the smaller hook, but I would have to special order any cotton thread smaller than #50. Lacis has down to size #185! Hopefully someday soon I'll get a chance to order some thread from them. I'm thinking that #120 will probably be about right for my hook.
Snowflake Christmas ornaments are fun to crochet. I have a few that I made for sale in my shop at Etsy.com. My shop is called "Delicate Designs" and I plan to add other thread crochet items soon. Possibilities include tiny snowflake earrings and doilies and lace for scrapbooking.

Your snowflake ornies are really pretty. I've tried to crochet with thread and felt like a clumsy giant. Sport weight yarn is about the thinnest I've ever used. Happy crocheting! :)
Thanks for stopping by! I took a look at your blog and found it very interesting. I have the exact opposite problem as you: yarn is so thick that I can't figure out how to hold it properly.
Your snowflakes are beautiful! Your in-laws would love to have some for Christmas. (HINT, HINT!)
