Question:

I finished my first crochet project: a pursethe only problem is that its very stretchy ?

I cant put anything heavy in it beacuse it stretches all the way down to my legs lolWhat kind of yarn should I use? or what am I doing wrong?

Answer:

You can hard boiled eggs in any type of pot You should only use glass or plastic bowls for the dyeSome food colors may intereact w/ metal.
I have non- stick pots and use them to boil eggs, it don't matter have fun with your kids!
I think that is an old wives taleAll my Mom ever cooked in was Revere ware and that is aluminum pots with copper bottomsI have used stainless steel and non stick potsand its worked fineJust don't over cook the eggs or they will crackboil about 20 minutes and then bath in cold water to set themthen use vinegar and hot water (1/2 cup each) and add food coloringIf you don't want colored fingers for Easter Sunday you might have the kids wear latex gloves when dippingand use newspaper on the table so it doesn't get colored eitherHappy Easter!! :-)
No, you don't need to buy a new potI use my aluminum pots and have never had a problemPut your eggs in cold water and bring to a full boilIf you notice that any of your eggs crack add a little white vinegar and this will keep the egg from leaving the shellThen lower heat and let boil for 10-15 minutesDrain off water and rinse with cold water to stop cooking and helps keep yolk yellowPlace on paper towels or in colander to dry offYour ready to dye your eggs!
Generally, a purse will be made one of two ways: 1From untreated wool yarn, using a big hook and open stitch, and then felted to shrink it to size and make the construction dense and stable2From cotton or some other non-stretchy yarn, using a smaller hook and tight stitch to create a fabric that is dense and stableMarket bags are made to stretch, so they are made with a loose network of stitches that will stretch, even though they are often made with cotton yarnWhat you might be able to do to rescue your purse: Make a two-part liningCut non-woven iron-on interfacing to fit the purse in its non-stretched size and iron it onto the back (wrong side) of the crocheted fabric to stabilize itThen make a fabric lining to fit inside the purse to contain the objects you'll carry in the purse and to protect the interfacing from wear and tear.
