To all TOTC hook owners

[Sharon]

Ok, so I don't own a TOTC hook, I have a question for those of you who do. How do you remember which hook is which size? They are not marked with a letter, are they?

Nope, they're not labeled. I can kind of tell which is which by the grain on mine when comparing two next to each other, but they come in these tubes that i keep them in, and I've labeled the tubes with those cute scrapbook letters so I can grab the one I want quickly.

I was thinking the same thing. I have only one so far but was thinking that if I acquired more I'd want a nice hard case to store them in. Then I'd be able to label the slots in the case and make myself be very consistent about putting them away hen finished with them.

I've labeled the tubes mine come in too. He also sells a hook sizing gauge (pictured at the bottom right of this page (http://www.turn-of-the-century.com/hooks.htm)). I keep meaning to get one but get so caught up in the beautiful hooks I forget anything else!! :heart

[Sharon]

Anyone have a picture of the tube they come in?:time

[ZingyZoid]

Sorry... Mine was immediately confiscated by my four year old and turned into a magic wand. It has been smushed and smashed and beaten on everything in the house.
