Now, here is what happens to the one who starts 3 crochet projects simultaneously! See how easy it is to get over excited by spring crafting and to become sadly hookless (I am almost sure there is no such word but it kind of goes well with the whole absurd situation, doesn't it?).
So, next time you plan to save money, remember this ugly picture and go for the quality! Note to self: Never, ever buy plastic hooks again! They are so NOT eco!
And speaking about crocheting, I am in the process of putting together a lovely how-to for all creative crocheters and adventurous ladies who are willing to try something new, so don't throw away your ragged pants and stay tuned this week for an upcycling project!
By the way, what kind of crochet hooks do you use and would you recommend them?
Poor hook, poor you. ;) Can't wait to see the newest project...
ReplyDeleteDue to the graphic nature of the incident, I took special precautions for this photo and arranged it so that one cannot see the extent of the injury. Didn't want to upset my readers that much, you know :)
ReplyDeleteAhh, I lost one of my only H hooks last week and almost cried! I found it though! I can't wait to see what the project is! I just found one of my fave pants has a rip in it so maybe I can still use them for it! I'm now a follower! :)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry that happened to you mid project.
ReplyDeleteJust say no to plastic!
oh my. that hook is one major fail. definitely no to plastic!
ReplyDeleteGoodness... how sad!
ReplyDeleteBummer! Hope you can replace it soon.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I usually buy metal ones if I need to - I've picked up tons of hooks and needles at yard sales and haven't had to buy too many.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the project you have in store, will stay tuned!
Well, we live and learn don't we! I look forward to seeing the project!
ReplyDeleteThis happened to me the other day with my favorite hook! It was this cheap, green plastic G hook that I got from a store that doesn't consistently have the same stock over time so I probably can't get another one. But it was the perfect shape! I loved it so much and just about cried when it snapped - and then I reminded myself that it was silly to cry over a broken hook, haha. Anyway, I feel your pain!
