Three new hooks

[BrianC]

Hi,

 

I just finished three new hooks. They are all made of spalted maple burl. Each one is about 5 1/2 inches in overall length with the hook extending about 1 inch from the handle. From top to bottom they are a #8, #10, #12 all Boye steel hooks.

 

Katchkan gets first choice in these but what she does not take I will offer to the group members on a first come first serve basis at $19 plus postage.

Hi Brian - and welcome! I sent you a pm requesting the #8 if Kathy passes it up and I've been lucky enough to be first in line (keeping my fingers crossed!). I'm hoping this insomnia will have been good for something.

 

You do some beautiful work with gorgeous wood - I saw the items you made for Kathy and was deeply impressed by your handiwork.

 

To all, I must say that Crochetville is developing into a crocheter's dream of a resource on so many levels! We are attracting some truly gifted people to join us here, a real win-win situation as far as I'm concerned - and I'm thrilled with these developments!

 

Again, welcome Brian! I look forward to seeing more of your handiwork. The hook you posted as your intro was certainly very intriguing looking and a pretty good way to start things off!

I agree with Elizabeth. Maybe we can see # 7 in the future? At least a couple?

Well folks the number 8 hook found a home with me. Sorry Goldie but It just fit my hand so nice. Brian promised me, he could make you another one though. I am lucky since I get to play guinea pig and try all these out. I did send him home though with lots of hooks and ideas.

Katchkan did indeed send me home with ideas. Now I have more ideas than time. I also got a shipment of palm nuts of different varieties and will be making a case for hooks using some interesting materials.

Yes, I pouted for a moment (just a brief moment! ). However:

And it's funny, I just now got back around to this thread (after being forced offline for a whole day by computer woes, now fixed). I had responded to Brian's pm back to me about Kathy stealing that number 8 (just kidding, Kathy!) and asked him if there was a possibility of getting this in a 6 or 7 since those are the sizes I see called for the most in my pattern collections, and he said yes! So we should be seeing these larger sizes soon - I can't wait!

I agree! I would love to see a 6 or 7!
