New Stuff
Yesterday afternoon, I got this urge to crochet. Unfortunately, when I went to get my yarn and hooks, I remembered that a couple of months back I couldn't find my crochet hook case and my hooks. However, while searching, I did find the little tub I keep them in, but - sadly - it only contained a CD (very strange, I know!).

As a way to deal with my cravings, I went over to Wal*Mart and replaced all my hooks. When I got home, I got it into my head to make my own case. I've wanted to for some time, but figured since I already had one . . . *shrug*

Well, last night, when my husband and I were watching Music & Lyrics (really cute movie, btw), I dug in my yarn stash, found the perfect yarn, and then found a lovely pattern in the internet.

Sorry for the poor picture quality!!!

I admit, the picture didn't come out as wonderful as I hoped. Luckily, I was able to do some doctoring in Photoshop. The colours are a beautiful mango, a pinky-read, and a rich green.

Honestly, I wasn't paying too much attention when I did some stitching inside, so the pocket doesn't look as wonderful as the rest. Oh well! It's for my use, and it doesn't bother me. It still functions! ^_~

BTW, it is based off this pattern. It's fairly easy. However, I did add the pinky-red border; the pattern didn't call for it.



Thanks for looking!

Can't see the pics yet, as I'm on a text browser, but I was convinced that you were going to write, "So my husband and I did blah blah blah, and I dug through my yarn stash and ... found my old hooks." :-)

Looking forward to seeing the pic when I get home!

It would have been nice to finally find all of my hooks, so I didn't have to spend $$$ at Wal*Mart, but there's something nice about buying new hooks ^_~

HeeHee, the pictures aren't the best, but thanks!

I made this pattern too, and I thought it was ingenious. The boarder is a nice addition. Mine needs some extra length, actually, because I'm storing longer hooks in them. I should add a boarder to mine.

Honestly, when I finished I really did wonder whether it would need more length. If I ever make another one, I probably will add the extra.

Thanks for the comment!

Looks great and more importantly, it looks like it will work great. I love the flower on the front too. Very nice.

(i've made myself a solemn promise that when i am done with my current project i will take the time to make something for myself, possibly a hook holder, the trouble is that i have over 60 hooks! how did that happen??)

60 hooks?! Oh, my!

Yeah, it's been awhile since I made something for myself. Either I'm too busy making baby blankets, stuff to sell at craft faires, etc. It was nice to finally spend some time pampering myself with crochet-goodness ^_~

Thanks for the comment!

What a very cute ideal! I have quite a few hooks also that I have started to keep them in a smallish tackle box. It really keeps them all together nicely. However, this would be good for my WIP hooks that I leave out of the box.

PS, now that you replace all your hooks you're sure to find all your old ones. lol

I made this same case a while ago (one of my first projects!) and yours looks so much better - I'm tempted to try a new one now! The colors are perfect :)
