Its my partners birthday in a couple of days. Whilst I was noodling around on amazon, selecting a few gifts for him, amazon kept suggesting I buy stuff for myself instead.
Who am I to argue!
I decided that since I had worked super hard over christmas and had just managed to pay off my remaining student overdraft and credit card, I deserved a treat. So this is what I got!
A set of Clover Amour hooks!
I had put the crochet hooks on my christmas list but sadly was not gifted them. I have been eyeing them up for a while. A lot of my fellow crocheters regard them as the best hooks they have ever had, so I thought it was worth the money. Plus, the crochet hooks I use at the moment are cheap and cheerful sorts and I have been using them for a good 3 or 4 years now, so it must be about time for an upgrade?
But now I had a dilema! I had a lovely new set of crochet hooks but nowhere to put them! So off to etsy I trotted to find a crochet hook case. And this is what I eventually chose.
Isnt it just the sweetest!
I got it from the etsy shop Sarah Sews It. She has lots of lovely fabric things on her page and there is so much care and attention put into every item! I love it! You should go and check it out!
Lovely hook case! Clovers are superb, I love mine and buy one at a time as and when I need new sizes. I’m pretty sorted now, having bought about 6. They glide through your yarn like a hot knife through butter! Have fun. π

I’ve got the naughty itchy fingers for a new project when I already have 3 on the go. Must follow your example!

I can vouch for Clover – they let me crochet for extended amount of time without my hand getting tired. And the hook pouch is so cute. I am actually scared to visit the site – what if I start liking something π

Don’t you love that about Amazon? It’s the online equivalent of a persuasive friend. But even I have heard of these hooks, so I guess they must be a good purchase and it sounds like you earned them!
