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!

Well…

the guy who broke his wife’s favorite

vintage crochet hook 

 had better have big brown eyes and

be incredibly cute…

because,

judging by the feedback that I have been hearing…

His chances of finding a Bucilla #3 hook

are VERY slim.

I’ve gone through all of my steel hooks

and there are a bunch of Boye, Susan Bates, tons of Milwards, Roma, Flora, Morral’s, JMRA’S, some with names worn off, and some that look to be cheap and cheerful new no-names.No Bucilla……

now I am intrigued…

I will be looking for Bucilla hooks from now on!

Would I let go of it if I found one?

To be perfectly honest….

probably not…….

Now, how big is that dog house he’s living in?

And

is his wife going to crochet him a blankie for it? 

Woof?
