I have a set (here’s where I wrote about them) and just love them,

Organizing Crochet Hooks

Noreen Crone-Findlay — Thu, 15 May 2008 05:27:25 +0000

On one on my email lists, people have been chatting about how they sort, store and organize their crochet hooks.

Here are a few pics of how I store mine, as well as a nifty new gadget that I really like for carting my hooks around with projects:

For quite a few years now, I have been using this plastic pencil box to carry crochet hooks and needlework tools in my purse. It’s not lovely, but it’s efficient!

Recently, my best friend gave me a set of dpn tubes for my sock knitting, and they are great.

The folks (nancys knit knacks) who make the dpn tubes also make another kind of dpn tube that is great for carrying crochet hooks:

It’s one of those incredibly simple ideas that make you go, oh yes! Clever, very clever!

At home, my hooks mostly live in clusters in various cups:

I found this painted wooden goblet at the second hand store and fell in love with it. It’s perfect for the hooks that I carve:

My steel hooks live in a small vintage pewter cup:

Crochet hooks are so beautiful they deserve to be on display!

Neato- great gadget

My best friend just gave me the neatest little gadget.

‘DP Wip Tubes’.

‘whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?’

They’re a simple and oh so clever gadget for adding happiness to sock knitter’s lives.

They are interlocking notched tubes that you slip over your dp needles. They keep your sock from accidentally womitting it’s stitches. Bliss.

Here’s a link for them: Here it is:

I am delighted with mine, as I take my sock knitting with me wherever I go. Someone is very clever!

Thumgbs and dp’s up on this one!
