Bead Crochet... Hook
In an attempt to quench my desire for better looking crochet hooks, I decorated the ones I had with color wood beads...

The next step will be buying a breathtakingly beautiful and smoothGraydog hook amourously made out of precious woods...
I might present myself with one for my upcoming birthday...

I'm a dual-lete!
I'm both competing in the crochet olympics and the knitting ones... I do feel a little out of my mind, like Vera, for even thinking of it.

Tricotin : French knitting loom
I made myself a knitting loom, to knit without needles... I used the upper part of a plastic honey pot.
