Since they were born so near Christmas, snugly blankets were requested and I set out to buy somewhat manly fleece, in which I decided a simple crochet edge would be appropriate.
The chaos started when I sat down to cut tiny little holes, by hand, in the edge of the fleece, in which to stab my hook through to begin this endeavor. Sadly, my cutting was much like a drunken sailor and, after a rousting bout of curse words, a declaration of, "There must be a better way!" was decided upon. My Google search commenced.
This item was perfect for what I needed. I had been trying unsuccessfully to poke holes in fleece to crochet a lace edge--impossible to get an even cut on my own. My freehand is far too free and artistic for the rigid constraints of fleece edging, obviously. I was thinking that a blade that was made for in a rotary cutter would be perfect and I was told by my more sew-savvy friends that such a thing existed, but what it was called...they had no clue.
Some very interesting google searches brought me here.
Now, I am aware as to how deeply sheltered I am, realizing far too late that this "wheel" invention has existed far longer than I could have imagined...
