I have been searching for some new crochet hooks for a little while now and I thought I settled on a set on Etsy. They are gorgeous, cute, and fun! I asked my husband to buy these for me for my birthday. I was totally ready to plunk down the money to purchase those hooks and crochet to my happy hands content :) Then I realized it was a ton of money for those hooks! Plus, I am a SAHM and not really contributing to the family's income; at least not enough to warrant a large purchase on crochet hooks.
Now, for my birthday I did get some nice gift card and my sweet, sweet husband ordered the new iPad 2 for the family as all our birthday presents for this year. As stoked as I am to get it, mid April, I still don't have any new crochet hooks. So, I took one of my gift cards and purchased a new set of crochet hooks. I am super psyched to get them in, but they are back ordered until mid April. Mid April is going to be super awesome for new things!
Since I ordered new hooks my old case isn't going to work anymore. My new hooks are the kind with a bamboo handle to make it easier on my hands when I work. But they aren't going to fit into my little case. Then I remembered I saw the cutest little case on a blog I follow. They did a tutorial on how to sew a crochet hook case. Super awesome and super cute! I went to Jo Ann Fabrics and purchased my fabric. I am so excited to start working on the new case! Here is the fabric I chose...
I precut my pieces and all I have to do now is wait for my hooks to get here so I can measure out how big my spaces need to be for the hook pocket. I will post on this again once I have the organizer/case completed :)
Until next time...
This is exactly what I need, the Glad bag I had been using shredded just the other day and all my crochet hooks fell to the bottom of my bag. I am interested in ordering one! Yay!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely get with you once this one is done. I just received notification my hooks were already shipped so hopefully early next week I will be able to post a start to finish photo collection. We can talk about making one for you too :)
