How nice of him. My great , great, grandmother made one. I have it , but I don't use it. It is to special to use. It is the only thing I have of her.PINKROSES

That is sooooo awesome!. I would love for my husband to whittle ME a hook, but I'm afraid he would cut his finger off! Just out of curiosity...How do you know what size it will be? I don't know much about wooden hooks, as I have never used one. What am I missing? Details...Pleeez?

take and pic and post it when he gets done. would like to see it.

I've made a few that way and they are awesome, you'll find that it's the only hook you want to use

I'm not crafty enough to make my own but I bet you will love yours...what a great DH

I wish my hubby could whittle a hook for me. He's just not into that sort of thing. so, If I want a fancy hook, I'd have to buy one. Mine are the plain old regular every day hooks....but that's okay....they all do the same thing. However, you are very lucky to have a homemade...handmade hook. That is something very special, so take good care of it! You have got to be soooooo happy! and that is so wonderful!

I always wonder how people figure out the hook size from the home made hooks?

a wood hook would be nice but then if I get frustrated while working would snap it in half

[lunchbox]

I have been begging mine for one. He does like that sort of thing, he just doesn't have a lot of time.

 

I think there are little gadets to measure the width, like with knitting needles. No?

My hubby went by guesstimate for the first one...he took an N hook. He just has to sand it down for me...I hope he doesnt loose his steam on this cuz it looks GREAT!! I will post a pic if it is ever completed. It definitely WON"T snap, it's pretty thick. If it is ever done, I want to make none other than a seraphina with it!!
