Fabulous sizes, too... 10.0mm... 12.0mm... and 15.0mm...
Despite my rapidly growing hook collection, I didn't have a 12.0mm or a 15.0mm hook, so I picked up a couple... then a couple more... and a couple more after that!
They will make wonderful Christmas surprises for my crochet buddies. These sizes are wonderful for experimenting with all those alternative 'yarns' which I love so much, and they aren't always that easy to come by.
Wonderful timing, too... as today is our last crochet meet for the year.
Now that is a happy picture all of the crochet hooks wearing their holiday ribbons all nestled in the pitcher.
ReplyDeleteVery nice.
I have those exact hooks in 12mm and 15mm. I also picked them up for 50c at last years sales!! Nobody must be adventurous enough to get them (cept the bargain hunters)..
ReplyDeleteHope all the recipients love them!

Wow, what a deal!
ReplyDeleteI like how you have gathered them all together into a 'bouquet'! I like how you 'honour' the 'tools'.
ReplyDeleteI love a bargain. . . . great find.

What fun to find such a bargain! I swear this moment I will never pass up such a bargain again!
ReplyDeletekaren - the bows were cut from scrap fabric, of course!
ReplyDeletetea - isn't it crazy... I have hunted for large hooks at stores, and not been able to find them... and then I score these? perfect!
jolincountry - a bargain, indeed!
karen - they almost look like little candy canes
sicilian - and I was a good girl... I didn't take them all from the store... left some for other crocheters to buy
sherryknit - we had a fabulous day, and the hooks were very well received
islagringo - thanks... taking the photos is half the fun, I think
puglette - almost too good to be true
cat - I thought they'd be fabulous for rag work... thanks for the award, much appreciated, although I'm not usually very good at following through on these things
lisab - gotaa take those bargains when you see them... they don't last long
Fabulous bargain - well spotted, and lovely idea to share with your crochet cronies. :-)
ReplyDeleteHow much is postage for Serbia,may I order and pay one hook from You?
ReplyDeleteI have never and I mean never seen crochet hooks that big in the UK, Maybe they don't make them here?? Is it like knitting on bigger needles??
ReplyDeletesam - thanks
ReplyDeleteanonymous - sorry... all my hooks have a home now :(
libby - the big hooks are wonderful for working with rags... but sometimes they can be tricky to find.. mind you, you can always find these things online
