I thought I owned a Yarn Shop!
Last night, I was settling down for an evening of television and so I picked up the neglected bag of yarn and flowers for the rug I want to make.
I rifled through the bag, and there was no crochet hook in it. I dumped the bag out - made a huge mess, but still couldn't find the hook I was sure I had put in there. I looked in every drawer, knitting bag, shelf, the car, the truck...I even pulled out all the cushions on the couch. Now, our house isn't big - it's a one bedroom log cabin and I could not find a hook anywhere! The underpants gnomes must have come back!
There used to be at time when I had a case filled with all my hooks, and another with all my knitting needles. One has to be organized living out in the middle of nowhere. Now that I have such easy access to all this stuff at work, I haven't a clue where all my old stuff has been put. I do have an antique vase on the coffee table with a good selection of bamboo straight needles that I use in a pinch, but no similar display of crochet hooks.
I continued on with the search for a while, then gave up. I put back everything I had taken out, did a bit of cleaning, organizing and throwing out and quite a bit of griping. After all this searching, I was exhausted, so I plopped down on the couch, and had a Bailey's. It was the only thing to do!
The company that makes the Addi Turbo needles, has recently released a crochet hook set that uses the Click cords, and end stoppers making it a great set for anyone who crochets, tunisian or double end crochets.
The set retails for $59, and you can bet a few of them will be winging their way to Northbrook Monday morning. I vow I will never be without a crochet hook again!
