Today’s project: crochet hook rolls for Mum and her friend Irene. These ones are slightly different to the one I made myself. Instead of just having the top of the roll turn over to hold the hooks in, I made a separate flap to keep them in place. Also, Mum didn’t want hers tied with a ribbon, so I’ve done a strap that wraps twice then closes with velcro. Hopefully it will be secure enough! Here’s photos of them both open and rolled.
They were going to be identical until I realised it was possible that both Mum and Irene could be crocheting in the same place at the same time – and we don’t want confusion! Hence one is bound in pink and the other in green.
I rather enjoy remembering the original item made of each of the fabrics that I utilise later for craft. For example, in these hook rolls the black floral print is a pleated skirt (mine), the white floral linen a long-sleeved, loose shirt (originally mine, then it became Mum’s), and the pink and white print is a top and shorts (belonging to Miss Clare).
And obviously, still no baby! Four days over now . . .
