One Pound Wonder Ta-dah!

Hello hello hello... Thank you for all your sweet get well wishes, I am so much better now and in future will try not to wallow in too much misery on my blog! 

So back to today's one pound wonder Ta-dah, I've been waiting patiently to show you my £1.00 find and what I did with it. A few month's ago I found a super stash of old vintage knitting needles, patterns and hooks of another sort {hint hint} in a local charity shop. I often ask for knitting needles and crochet hooks in Charity shops because more often than not, they are kept in their back store rooms because of health and safety! Anyway, my heart started beating rather quickly when out of the corner of my eye I spotted something pink, something crocheted as I dug away in the box given to me and here is what I found...

A rather dusty old pink crochet roll with these beauties inside it...

All for the princely sum of £1.00 ! I was pretty chuffed as my crochet needles are always getting lost and then found and I find myself buying more of the sizes I already have etc. Does this happen to you or am I just careless? So, with this lovely stash of hooks I felt motivated to be more careful with my hooks and create a new "home" for them. I don't like being decadent with material possessions and want to not take for granted that I have money to buy new crochet hooks when I misplace one. so this little case was created for just that.

Ta dah, here is my new one pound wonder crocheted case for all my lovely hook sizes.

I really enjoyed doing this very basic and comfy crochet again and thanks to the clever person who made the previous pink case I was inspired to make my own this Autumn. I made the fabric lining with some left over fabric I made a skirt with this summer and the brown floral fabric is from an old charity shop pillow case I had chopped up for various projects.

Hopefully, I can be more responsible with my hooks now and keep them all neatly tucked away in their new case xox It would please me to know that someday these could be recycled back into the world for someone else to get pleasure from using them. 


I was wondering if anyone would like a few of my excess/doubled up crochet hooks?

There are a few of varying quality and sizes (4.5mm, 5.0, 7.0, 8.0 etc) and I would very much like to give these to someone who might use them. If you'd like them please say so in a comment and if there are more than 1 of you, I'll do a draw out of a hat if that's OK?

Thanks for letting me share my one pound wonder with you today, snuggle up if you are in the North and stretch out if you are in the South. 

See you soon xox
