Sewing Circle

Does anyone know what size the crouchet needle needs to be, if I want to make that bookmark?

I would say quite small, and would recommend a thin thread too, because no one wants a thick bookmark.

I got a 2mm with some wool...the women at the store said something about the thickness of the wool, which I missed, but I decided to practice the technique first on the wool and then try something thinner.

Yes, the crochet needle should fit the wool. If your needle is too big for the wool, your work will have holes in the stitches (the wool doesn't cover the whole stitch). If the needle is too small, the hook is too small and you only pull part of the thread through, so it creates a mess.

You can play with it, of course, it's not that one milimeter will be a disaster, but if it's too extreme, then it won't give nice results.

Aaaargh! I've tried...and will try again some more tomorrow... I have to work on holding the needle and not making the stitches to tight.

For now though...bed. :)
