Hi all,
I've been googling extensively without success for a crochet hook holder -
not cloth, because my crochet hooks are very loose in it, but one perhaps
made of plastic into which I can snap my hooks securely, from small to
large. I used to own one like this many years ago, but all I've been able to
find so far are the cloth holders.
Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks!
David

David, I found an empty Boye crochet hook case at Joann.com. It is the kind
that has elastic to hold the hooks and zips closed. The link is:

I also found patterns for crochet hook cases that are crocheted:

Hope this helps,

Hi Marilyn,
Thanks very much for your research and reply! I had such a crochet hook
holder two years ago but threw it out - I had extensive troubles trying to
fit my hooks into the elastic/bungie "slots".
Perhaps I'm fussy - I want something rigid like the plastic holder I had a
couple and more decades ago when I could still see - the hooks snapped into
specific "slots" and did not move at all.
Unfortunately the case went the same place as my eyesight - how the heck do
I know where?? *chuckle*
Thanks again
David

David,
I would recommend this one that Marilyn has posted. It is a nice case as it
is vinyl on the outside and has elastic loops of different sizes on the
inside. It can hold from at least a size 10 steel crochet hook up to at
least a size N crochet hook.
If you like, I could send you the one that i have and get myself another
one. They are not that expensive at the local Wal-Mart here.

YOU HAVE A WAL_MART THAT STILL SELLS NEEDLEWORK SUPPLIES? (sorry for the
shout...)
It's just that here the Wal-Mart people have turned to giant supercenters,
and though we have two of 'em (and I'm about mid-way between them) they have
BOTH rid themselves of anything but half a shelf full of very cheap yarn and
obviously cheap crochet and knitting supplies. No fabric. No patterns.
Nuthin.
...and Jo-Ann's moved twenty miles south. Our Hancock Fabrics (that had a
pretty good selection of yarn) closed.
Michaels has some, but...whoa, what prices!!!...and they don't have lace
weight needles. I did notice the other day that they had a crochet hook
holder, though; the zippered pouch thing with the elastic holders.
I'm depressing myself.
On the other hand, some brave soul actually opened a YARN STORE on our down
town main street. It's small, of course. Brand new, and the owners have made
a couple of...unfortunate...buying decisions. On the other hand, they sell
ADDI TURBOS!!!
...and they have also made some great buying decisions. Well, not so much
for me, since I'm too broke to take advantage of them. Still....
Their teacher has been around for decades, literally; she was the first one
to try to teach me to knit, many and many years ago. She gave up, because
according to her, I twisted the knitting and did it all wrong. I STILL do it
'all wrong." I'm a 'combination' knitter.
I like it.
She doesn't.
This may be a problem. ;-)
ANYway, hi. I'm new.
Diana
