Crocheted Crochet Hook Case

Not my photo
I hate digging around trying to find the right crochet hook for my project, having to search in different areas for wherever I left them lying around because I have no home for them. So I decided that I must make something to remedy this. Also, I've been on a crochet kick lately and it was a good excuse.. After some browsing on Ravelry.com I came across this. Simple, cute, and functional. I added a bit to the pattern - making two of them to sew back-to-back, and leaving pockets open at the top to fit my super fat hooks.

I can usually fit multiple hooks in each slot, especially with my teeny tiny hooks.

Super fat hook now has a home!

Duct Tape Purses

While browsing the web for different ways to make a duct tape wallet I came across the instructables.com website. On there I found this awesome instructable for a duct tape purse. Also, it includes no sewing! All you need is your fabric and coordinating duct tape, scissors, and some staples. I also find that wiping the scissor blades with acetone periodically helps with the stickiness they gather from the tape.

Awesome adorable tote!

I've been using the tote to hold my crochet projects. I think I'll make a couple more, probably a bit bigger, for use this summer. But they are so super easy and I think it would be a great project to do with the kids or with friends.
