My pretties

Prior to hooking I papercrafted and had loads of tools and toys. With crochet you don't need a lot, just hooks, snips, tape measure and yarn. I've just found these hooks- Susan Bates, only available in America but I love them. I have numerous other hooks, far too many realistically as you only need one of each size but unfortunately I've loved then all along the way. I started with bamboo and then found prym but have since found these Susan Bates ones. The ones I buy have been adapted with polymer clay to thicken up the handle. I keep them together in my eldest daughter's discarded pencil case
