I treated myself to an early Christmas present! - new crochet hooks :-)
These lovely hooks came all the way from China (via ebay!) and have the most lovely bamboo handles.
I have had a little play with one of them and it is lovely to work with.
I'm looking forward to many hours of happy crochet with these :-)
I also managed to sneak into the picture the beginnings of a little dolly blanket, worked in granny squares using 2 colours of stylecraft. I do love making granny squares!
And a sweet little dolly dress too! A friend asked if I could make her daughter some dolly clothes as a Christmas present. Such fun knitting such teeny tiny things! I have another little outfit on my needles at the moment. Will post pictures soon.
Hope you have all had a lovely weekend!

Those hooks are divine! <3 They look so awesome. How do they crochet? Do you like them?
ReplyDeletexo,

They crochet very nicely! They feel very smooth but are wide enough to save a bit of the finger-ache I get from 'normal' thin hooks! I'm never sure if a different hook will change my tension so finisheing off projects with the hooks I started with. But after that it will be bamboo hooks all the way! I already made a few little snowflakes with them :) One of the smaller hooks has fallen out of the handle but I reckon a bit of superglue will fix that :)
