My new hook case

[danileo]

I finally finished my new hook case. I added an insert to hold those extra things!

Nice!

 

Veganfairylover, I eat soy ice cream, too. (The other kind does nasty things to me intestinal system if you know what I mean...) It's actually quite good! (My husband thinks it's disgusting, but I think since I drink soy milk all the time, it tastes good to me.)

You've beeeeeen busy!!! All these pics of things you have completed! whoa I better get off this computer and start stitching, just to catch up!

great case!

I like that I need to make me one. I currently have mine in a pencil box. It works ok . That would be good to to work different chrochet designs. PINKROSES

Wow, that beats the heck out of my old eyeglass case carried in a plastic shopping bag! What sort of stitch did you use for the outside? it has a nice subtle texture to it.

The stitch is called a cross-stitch - it is 2 double crochets, one crossed over the other.

Your case is very nice, looks professionally done.

That is really a very pretty hookcase! You did a wonderful job and it DOES look very professional....you should be very proud of it!

[Gardener]

That is a really nice case. The insert is such a good idea.

[laureni526]

Great job. It's so nice to see room for the little extras we all need.

That's really nice

[caitlinsmom]

Very nice. You did a great job on it!!

[angelfire]

much better than mine

[danileo]

Thanks all, for the kind words--this pattern had been eluding me, and not until I examined it line by line, and found the errors, was I able to make it correctly. Priscilla Hewett is a good designer, and I did try to contact her about the errors and how I had written in the corrections, but she doesn't seem to be around any more.....

So, your kind words a muchly appreciated.

[MrsD]

Wow! I definitely need one of those!

I just joined the 'ville last month and found this post while poking around a bit. Your case looks great. I have a hook case similar to yours with the pockets. I found that the yarn was just to bulky for the small thread hooks and that they got lost in the pockets. So I gave that one to DH. Therefore I made mine out of size 10 thread and made up my own pocket sizes and widths for ruler, sissors, needles, and hooks. I used plastic canvas to make it stiff and washable (idea from Annie of Annies Attic). It is about the size of checkbook cover, so I guess this pattern could be adapted for that too. I took pictures and updated this post with them (clickable images). Thanks for sharing yours, as this was the only post that I have seen so far that has the book holder instead of a roll.

The inside: and another shot of it:The back (so I could tell the difference): And the entire outside:

Sorry, it is a little dirty as I haven't washed it in the ? yrs since I made it. I do not have a zipper or velcro or a loop to go over a button. I leave it like a checkbook cover.

Did you install a zipper on this? I love the look of the case itself, but wonder how well it works in practical application if it doesn't close. I'd like to make one myself, but I don't do zippers at all. I'd have to take it to my drycleaner to have a zipper installed!....LOL!

Great work!

[lpgeorge123]

The insert is so cool. I just threw the extra stuff inside my case and hope it doesn't fall out, haha. I'm impressed with yours.

[Monique39]

I like this !
