crochet hook holder

[melectric]

I really should be working on my mother-in-law's blanket but I found myself getting a little burnt out. So I thought I would try out this crochet hook holder pattern (http://www.sarahanns.com/crochetworks/case.html) I have had for awhile. I have a tendency to misplace hooks, buy new ones and find them the next day. That is why you might notice the fact that I have 3 G hooks. :lol I am hoping that this will inspire me to be a little more organized. The only gripe I have about the pattern is that my clover hooks don't fit in the loops, but I can just put them in the pocket.

Great job!

:cheer What a great idea!

I always lose my hooks, too.

[Yarnmistress]

That is really nice. I need to make myself one.

It looks great. I made a purple one a few months ago, and it is a wonderful thing. I am too cheap to buy one. It sure beats the little cigar box I was carrying them around in. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine!

That turned out nice! I have a hook holder but it's this unwieldy plastic thing that they rattle around in - one like yours would be better for going anywhere.

Great hook holder you made, the flower is such a pretty addition too.

I love it :manyheart Thanks for posting the pattern link...Yours turned out fantastic!! :hook

[crochetlady]

wow! love the colours you have used and the flower is a really cute addition! You know what I have 4 hook pouches (2 of which belong to my kids - they didn't want to borrow from me ) and I still have the problem of the missing hook and to add to my woes sometimes my whole case goes off on a trip of its own to wherever!!!

Goodluck with your hooks.

Thanks, I need it.:lol I just realized that the rest of my clover hooks are missing. I am sure they are around here somewhere. My cats love to play with them.

Pretty & practical,Marilyn!

How would/could you modify it to fit TOTC hooks and clover hooks? Or would TOTC hooks fit already?

[melectric]

Hmm, I don't know what TOTC hooks are. The biggest hook I have in there is a K and it fits fine, so maybe they would fit. I really like the one debsydoo just posted and I think I will have to try it.

I love it! I've been meaning to make myself one of these. After the holidays... Patty

So pretty! I'm going to try it later - tfs!

That came out so nice and the beautiful rich color sets off the flower wonderfully.

I love that pattern and have one done in yellow WW, but am working on another in a dark lavendar. The button loop is very good on yours -- on mine, I simply stitched onto the back a long chain and then wrap and tie it closed. It is great for all the usual hooks -- up to the K size. Like you, my larger hooks fit nicely in the pocket. My largest, a Q, fits into the loop on the pocket. And it is so quick and easy to carry along with, whenever I leave the house. :-)
