Death of an I Hook--a euology

[DesertCrocheter]

Really! (Apologies to those of you who saw this death notice in the stashbusting CAL thread.) I was using a plastic Susan Bates I hook I had bought for plane travel this week because it was the first I hook I grabbed, when low and behold, last night, it snapped! I killed it!! I am a hook murderer.

Farewell, my little I hook. I know I bought you with no great affection; you were just a cheap hook to carry on a plane. I didn't think I'd care if you were confiscated and discarded by a security agent. But we have grown close in our travels over the past year, and I can truly say your demise has affected me more than I thought. Fly, be free, little hook. May you crochet and finish many delightful items in the great Yarn Store in the Sky. Your faithful crocheter, Patty

Clearly, self-defense was not the motive here. I think you should be held fully accountable and punished to the fullest extent of the law.

 

Now go to your room & crochet for the rest of the day!

May the good hook Rest in Pieces,

[Trafor0729]

Very sad.

 

I think everyone should make you a comfortghan to help you with your loss.

(playing taps) Another good hook has given their life for the cause.

[CDBear]

Poor, poor little hook........taken before it's time......

:::Sniffling:::.....no one is really prepared for tragedies like this. Patty, I hope you'll be ok......

- is there any 'in lieu of flowers' ?

[crochetluvknot]

the poor may it

[DesertCrocheter]

Yes!! Send me yarn!!!!!

Just kidding, of course. because then I'd have to lose the few stashbusting points I've accumulated.

 

Thank you all for your heartfelt sympathy. I hope you never experience the agony of having caused the demise of an innocent crochet hook. I hope it knows it gave its life for a greater good, a Project Linus blanket.

As much as I hesitate to expose myself here since I don't know if my hook killing spree warrents have expired or not...I have also snapped crochet hooks...all plastic, one each from size F thru K....if you need a fellow hook-killer to share your pain with...I'm here for you....

I too am guilty of this terrible crime. My victim was an F hook, a wooden walnut brittany hook. I was terribly upset.......but! wait! I emailed the manufacturer and got a new one for free, yes free. It was made from birch wood, but who am I to complain about a free hook?

[lhasaapsolady]

A fond remberance of your loyal and trusting friend Hook. May she be happily snuggled in a ball of yarn.

May the good hook Rest in Pieces,

So very sorry for your loss.

[Mandys76]

Oh dear....poor little hook....defenceless little thing.

 

Terribly sad isn't it? My sister bought me a whole set of vintage crochet hooks for christmas this year, and one was very long, but you could take it apart by unscrewing several joins. My little neice in her excitement to show me what a thoughtful gift they'd given, broke the hook by unscrewing in the wrong place. I know it was an accident, but I was devastated!

 

So....I can share your pain...no hook should have to die.....

[mizduck]

While it's so hard to remember in troubling times such as these, know that everything happens for a reason. Your I Hook is with it's maker now.....I hope that comforts you....

[christinascrochethaven]

:rofl This thread cracks me up!

 

So long I hook....may you rest in peace!

[Danygirl]

This thread is hilarious. So long, farewell, auf Weidersehen, good-bye, those hooks who have gone before. Their sacrifice will not soon be forgotten.

[Tampa Doll]

May we have a moment of silence, for the poor unfortunate hook who was taken before it time.

We stand here in sympathy of the crocheter and hope she can move on.

This hook has gone to hook heaven and is now sitting on , waiting for it's next assignment.

I'm sorry, I can't do this with a straight face anymore.

This is to funny and thanks I needed this laugh.

[KellyA]

May the happy memories carry you through these hard times

[Beaglelady]

In rememberance of your hook....well....sort of.
