Handy Hooks
My sewing studio is filled with all types of hooks. Hooks for embroidery hoops, hooks for spare scissors and who can discount nails that can work as a place to hook extra cutting mats. Today I am featuring my crochet hooks. At a time when my friend Lorraine realized her days of sewing was coming to a fast end, she gave me all of her sewing thread. My oh my, what a generous gift. I doubt that thread purchasing will be in my future any time soon. At that time it became handy to have multiple bobbins threaded. A bobbin dropped will roll and roll and roll . . . right to the floor drain. There is a definite reason my kids know I don’t throw out very many items that I have come by from friends and family. Many of these crochet hooks were from Carrie and Kevin’s grandmother, Esther Schafer. Not only do they make the perfect partnering of spool and bobbin, they evoke a lot of fond memories.
