LEFT HOLDING THOSE HOOKS

by

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??
