To be precise, I've been hooked on hooking!
Crochet is interesting... some crocheters (or hookers) really love making cute amigurumi. Others adore blankets and granny squares. I think I've found my niche in lacy, repetitive patterns that are found in apparel.
But because I like contradicting myself, I'm going to share a non-apparel project.
Crochet hook status: Snug
This is the Ammonite Crochet Hook Roll from lookwhatimade.net.
It's a quick and easy pattern, although it does get tricky at the end, as you will make treble, quadruple, quintuple(!!) crochets to form the ammonite. But it's a good challenge, and very satisfying to complete.
Originally the plan was to make the entire case in the grey. Due to lack of planning on my part, I ran out of grey and had to improvise with some novelty yarn (the blue with pastel speckly pieces*).
To my eyes it worked out perfectly, especially as the speckly pieces happened to match the colours of the hooks.
I like serendipity!
Ending my post with some closure
