I carved this crochet hook (one of our ‘Gulliver Crochet Hooks’) specially as a thank you to my blog readers.
He’s an 8 mm (size ‘L’) hook, and is approx. 5 1/2 inches tall, not including his hat. His hat works as a hanger, so he doubles as an ornament too. Right now, he’s hanging beside my computer, grinning at me.
when you click on www.hankeringforyarn.com
and scroll down, you can see the process that I went through to carve the Snowman crochet hook and spool knit his hat and scarf.
Here are the rules:
1] The winner will pay the postage to ship the Snowman hook. It’ll be $6.50.
2] Who can enter: Anyone, including my friends, relations, people I work with, readers,~anybody~. My son in law figured out a neat way of printing out people’s names so that will make it fair at the draw.
3] When does the contest begin? One minute after midnight on Dec 1, 2007.
4] When does the contest end? Christmas night after we finish dinner.
5] How do you enter? Leave a comment on THIS entry. That way, you’ll be sure that your name makes it into the basket.
6] How many times can you enter? As often as you wish. More comments left on this entry (scroll down to the bottom of the entry), equals more chances to win.
7] I am going to be hanging this little darling on our Christmas tree, so he’s going to be a cherished little ornament from now until Christmas. And, after that, he can come and live in your house…..
Good luck!
and happy holidays!
hugs all round, Noreen
By the way: People have been writing to me, asking me if I make other crochet hooks. Yes indeed.
They also ask if I sell them. yup.

This little snowman could be a snowgirl, maybe. It’s hard for non-snowpeople to tell, except up close – like I hope to be with this one!
increasing my chances for this cutie. /;)

Hi Noreen,

Let it be me is our cry in the sky, hoping upon hope that it will be I
Whoever is chosen will be as happy as can be to welcome this little fellow home with glee.
Wishing you a glorious season,
with love all around.
Oh Mr.Snowman I hope you have a great time hanging on the tree before you are adopted by another crocheter.
I see you’ve had lots of comments — sure hope he comes to my house to live.
He’s adorable! And just the size I need.

Good day Noreen,
Well the time is getting short
and I am feeling so bored
I need work to do in the coming year
to keep me cheery as before
I hope I can use the little snowman hook
to create some fine and fancy work
but if not then he will bring some joy to another fan.
Have a great day all.
Very cute.
Everyday I look at this snowman crochet hook and “see” it coming to my house to live! I sure hope you pick ME ME ME!!!!
How I wish I had your talent and patience. Your hooks are beautiful!
Happy day Noreen
Well, the time is growing shorter and I am in to wait,
This little snowman fellow must be looking really great,
He must be shining greatly
upon the Christmas tree
and looking forward to the dinner that will decide his fate.
His journey he will enjoy after all the festivities are over
and will settle in wherever home will be.
Hi Noreen,
I do not know what it is, but I do not seem to be able to sit down and think of this hook without going into rhyming mode, which I really have never done before, not like this anyway.
there seems to be something that spurs me on and I believe it is your own artistry, I feel it as I browse your site.
Have a wonderful day!
Mister snowmwn it is almost time for your new home. Great carving job.
Dear Noreen,
You must be very busy finishing up your work, and getting ready for the family time and Christmas joy that we all share.
Blessings to all who would like to have this wee hook, may you always enjoy him and always remember the love he holds inside him . Good Luck all.
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.
Thanks for making sharing your talent and unique creations. /;)
Dear Noreen,
Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
May all the blessings of this great world surround you with love, hope, peace and comfort to bring you joy.
Thank you for the privilige to participate in the sharing of your artwork, it has been great.
hugs,
Enjoy your day tomorrow with your family and maybe carve one for yourself in the New Year
Happy Holidays to all, this was fun, a unique idea. /;)
I’m sure Little Snowman will be happy and appreciated where-ever he goes.

Hi Noreen–love your trees & Tottie’s. Our son’s been in the hosp since last Wed so our holiday is a bit strange, but we’re celebrating with him in groups–tonight 7 relatives & their SOs did stocking presents at the hospital.
Pls enter me for the snowman hook–it would lift my spirits. Leslie
Happy Holidays,noreen!
Sending warm holidays wishes to you and your family! Would love to be the one who wins your snowman hook–to have a bit of your on my tree each year!
Hope Mr. Snowman has had a grandtime overlooking all the excitment that has been going on at his house. Maybe now he’d like to see other homes and see how they celebrate. Thanks for the lovely job and contest.
Finally the sun came out but not warm enough to melt snowman. Love your hook. Thanks for doing this for all the crocheters.
Was wondering whom won the lovely hook you carved. Hope the winner enjoyed receiving it and may you make many more. Thanks for doing this for us.
