Show & Tell: A holder of hooks

Hello Lovely People,

Show & Tell Thursday's


How're you going at this busy time of year?  Winning? I hope!

A number of months ago a friend asked me to teach her to crochet... She's come leaps and bounds and is right into it : )

Then her birthday rolled along and I was at a loss as to what to give her...  then... Lightbulb!  I drew up some plans, raided my stash and set about making this crochet hook holder.

Lovely natural linen, pretty pixie fairies, flowery blue ribbon, lots of slots for the hooks in varying widths, a larger pocket for some scissors and a wee patch for pins and needles.  Fold it down, roll it up, tie and off you go!

Have you made practical items for carrying or storing your tools?  Do you use it all the time?  Would love to see/hear!

Have a happy Thursday buddies!
Always nice to have you play along and see what wonderful things you link up!
L xx

    What a great gift! Awesome to be able to keep all the tools together! Puts my see-through pencil case to shame :-)
