Double ended hooksNew! not seen before......
Knit story
I found a really cheap place to stock up on my acrylic wool in the UK.
A sewing machine fixing shop, opp Primark (make it easy)
We chatted about Stockholm, I guess he wondered why 10 balls all bright colour balls of acrylic.
Then I saw that he had a little collection on needles for a £1(the usual sort)
On asking if he had any crcohet hooks, as this trip to UK I forgotten to pack
my knit fix bag.
I had a 25! and a 8 variety, not. Mind you any hooks better than none.
He replied "no" to crochet hook request, I thought id look anyway, for my knitting needle collection I can always find more space , Just one more set.......
Shining from the bottom of the pot a gold doubled ended crochet hook!
Around a size 3 and 3.5.
I joked with him not knowing his stock, and he gave it to me, yes told me to pop it in my bag a kind knit gesture.
A hook for Free........now that's a story worth sharing.
A hook or a screw
A charity shop purchase and I think that it could have possibly been hand made.Extremely tarnished so it spent a night in the brown sauce
(English bad habit)

(The sauce acidic, I think that's the science part)
I'm a Marmite girl.

The screw looking part, I think the term is bevelled
(I may have heard Rich mention this term)
But any how, home made = made with love.
A rare one to my collection.
