what is it?

[angelfire]

I made this for my granddaughter for her 1/2 birthday( because she was born in December we celebrate one in late July when there are no family birthdays). Can you tell what it is?

it has a strap and a zipper

 

open it up and

 

 

a hook case filled with purple hooks...still missing a purple c hook and the K hook is gray but I found a purple N hook...can you tell that purple is her favorite color?

How super cute is that? Great work. What pattern did you use?

[Daisy]

this is the pattern I used. It suggests a 16" zipper as an option for closing but I think an 18" would have been better. I decided to put the strap on using a x-stitch pattern so she can carry it with her when she brings her crochet...that made a zipper necessary...she is 10 and the first DGD I taught to crochet. Her youger sister is 4 and starting to learn left-handed from her mother.

That is one super nice case. I'm sure she will love it. She is one lucky girl for having such a great grandma!!

What a lovely idea. I can't think of any crocheter who wouldn't appreciate something like that. And with your granddaughter having learnt crocheting from you, I'm sure it's something she would really treasure.

Fantastic. I want to be your granddaughter too.

How cute. I like purple too. But , for a long while pink is of course my favorite color. PINKROSES

That is really neat...and I LOVE purple...maybe I should collect purple hooks. Great job on that.

How cute and what a nice Grandma you are. Can't imagine what you went thru to find all purple hooks..

[MrsD]

So thoughtful of you, not only to make the case, but to take the time to fill it with purple hooks! My aunt gave me my first set of hooks in a case when I was 12. It was one of the most appreciated gifts I ever received and I still use them now (more than 30 years later!), thinking of her every time I pull one out!

Nice projects,Bonnie!

[Ladycrochat]

Beautiful job Bonnie! What a fun Grandma you are- looking for all those hooks in PURPLE! And what a very discerning young lady your purple loving granddaughter is!

[Gran]

Someone is going to be very thrilled. That's great!

I second that emotion! That is adorable AND practical - and I love the color too.

[Appliejuice]
