LEFT HOLDING THOSE HOOKS

My friend Ronnie has crocheted several hook holders. So has DJ. So has, I think, everyone else in the St. Louis Crochet Club. I keep my hooks in a variety of holders – the one I carry around is a zipped leather purse, just the right size to hold a bunch of ‘regulation’ size hooks, scissors, markers, a ruler, etc. The overflow, if one can call my mess of hooks that, are contained in a variety of flower pots, Crystal Lite cylinders, and ceramic mugs missing their handles. In other words, not very well contained at all.

So, I decided I’d find me a pattern to crochet the definitive hook holder. I can create my own pattern, but might be easier to use that of someone else – someone who has already made the mistakes and correct them. LOL. Here’s what I found online – mostly free.

Now, I think even I can make this one without a pattern. The project looks straightforward enough. BTW, the blog this came from is pretty interesting. Go there and browse around, especially if you enjoy other crafts too. Note: this site loads slowly on my DSL.

This one is cute:

This next one is really pretty. It won’t hold ALL my hooks, but I might make it anyway. Scroll down just past half way for the picture and pattern. Lots of other eyecandy on this blog too.

Isn’t this one a beauty? Don’t know if I have spare wall area for it. My craft room is jammed FULL of ’stuff’. This one is for steel hooks. There’s a similar pattern for aluminum hooks too.

NOTE – not a free pattern.

Felted! I love felted crochet fabric. It’s so lovely and has a nice ‘hand’. Maybe I’ll make one like this. No need for a pattern. In fact, one of the fun things about felting is never knowing exactly what size the finished project will be!

Maybe there are just too many choices. Anyone else have a link to a great hook holder pattern, free or otherwise??

Yes, we know — it might seem odd to say “we’re not commenting” while… saying something at all. But here’s the thing: when a name so closely tied to the crochet world makes headlines for something this serious, not acknowledging it could feel like we’re sweeping it under the rug. And that’s not who we are. We have numerous posts and patterns that link to Jonah’s hands; these were all published PRIOR to any allegations. At this stage, we have not decided whether to remove the content.

We’re not here to speculate, fuel drama, or chase clicks on someone else’s pain. We’re here to clarify where we stand about Jonah’s Hands.
– This is a police matter.
– Jonah Larson is still a minor.
– We will not comment on the case.

We’ve always believed that crafting is a safe, supportive space. That doesn’t mean ignoring real-world events — but it does mean handling them with care and responsibility.

Let’s continue to support one another and keep this space kind, creative, and community-focused.
