craft, crochet, sewing

Still rolling along

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 . . .
