looky what I got....

[Ladykats]

This morning I got this package in the mail, and it was a signature Jimbo package. I wasn't expecting the beauty of what was inside and I just had to share. I have been running all over the shop showing everyone the craftsmanship of Jimbo's art. But I know in my heart of hearts that Ya'll will appreciate this more than anyone else. Right now, I am so in love with this hook I can't wait to get home to find yarn to make something with it. Shoot I may leave work early to buy some if I get the chance.

 

 

A couple of older Jimbo hooks with the latest one

That is awesome... I am still dreaming of some day being a Jimbo hook owner... I am watching his page diligently!!

 

GRATz on the new hook that is fabulous!!

Jimbo truely makes the best wooden hooks there are. They fit in your hands like they were made just for you. They glide through your yarn and make crocheting a true pleasure.

[Ladykats]

He truly does make the best hook out there, doesn't he.

[grannyannie]

Congrats! It's a beauty!!!! Love Jimbo's hooks!

[grandmalolly]

It's just gorgeous, Tracey! I looked long and hard at that hook..

 

Maybe next time!

[melkrose]

Wow! Its a beautiful hook.

[Ladykats]

Yes I am so excited, she is an ebony wood hook and I can't wait to use it. Boy, I wish I had yarn here to crochet with. Well I do but I would have to frog afterwards and I wouldn't want to do that.

[mama_crochet]

Wow.. very pretty! He sure makes beautiful hooks!

[badrhinogillett]

I drooled over that one for a long time - congratulations, it's a beauty!

[dobermama]

Congratulations! That is one beautiful hook.

one of the things that makes his hooks so wonderful is what kind of person he is...

when wiz3283 had her jimbo hook chewed up by a friends pet he sent her another..

Oh my, it's grand, Tracey! What a beautiful addition to your Jimbo Hooks collection! Thank you for sharing your joy!

[lhasaapsolady]

Lucky gal, how beautiful.

[Elle]

OHHHHHHHH, how BEAUTIFUL that ebony hook is!!

 

I have two Jimbo hooks and I just adore both of them. One of mine is bird's eye maple and the other one I'm not certain what it is, it's a light colored wood, but both of them are just a pleasure to crochet with! That ebony one is something else, though! Enjoy it!

[Ladykats]

Oh Elle, I plan on it. I have several of Jimbo's hooks. I love the stories about where he got the wood for this hook. I have tried not to duplicate the hook sizes, although I know I have on a couple... Like I do have two G's, and two 7's. Anyway, here is a picture of my Jimbo collection minus two. I have my Egg hook #7 in one of my WIP bags and another F blood wood hook that is broken I know I am shameless

I love Jimbo's hooks. I have a few of them myself and have a hard time putting them down.

My puppy ate one of my hooks a few weeks ago. He's lucky it wasn't one of my Jimbo hooks or he wouldn't still be living in my house.

[Ladykats]

you know Tracyleigh, we are getting a puppy in September, I have got to get in the habit of putting my yarn crafts away. My hooks are very special so I don't leave them laying around. I have a nice box to store them in, therefore only the ones that I am working with are out.... okay so I have four projects in tote bags I am working on right now. Hmmm, me thinks I had better get organized before we get her.

[rashidah]

you did very good.

[bethintx1]

Ooh! Good for you! I have never tried one of his hooks. Are they comfortable for both styles of crocheters? Meaning, I hold my hook like a spoon. My friend holds hers like a pencil.

[Ladykats]

I crochet like you would hold a knife or spoon, and my cousin crochets like you hold a pencil, either way Jimbo's Hook fit into your hand like he used it as a guide for the sculpture of the wood. Everyone that has picked up one of my hooks couldn't believe just how great they fit into there hands. I run into crocheter all the time in the hospitals or doctors offices, so many people have tried my hooks. It is getting to the point that I need to make business cards with Jimbo's web address on it to hand out with the touch of one of his hooks

Congratulations! It is a beautiful hook. I have watched his site for awhile now. The man has a talent.
