Crocheting with Thread

It's actually not bad.  I enjoy it.  My gauge changes wildly however, so if I were to ever do something large out of crochet with thread, I'd have to make sure to have a warm-up project so I could check my gauge before starting on the main one.  I've recently made not only the snowflakes, but a few bookmarks as gifts.  I made one out of the incorrect sized thread before getting correctly sized thread and making a lot more.

They're all stiffened with sugar as per this site's recommendations.  None of them are sticky, and I left the dangly bits dangling.  I did make two more with the correct thread, but sent them off to recipients before realizing I hadn't photographed the rest.  Whoops!  They're all pretty much the same though, not missing much here.
