Any Crocheters?

[migtig]

I knit and crochet and sew and half a million other things. Anyway, I'm happiest when hooking (and if you crochet you'll understand that's not dirty).

Anyway, I found a new/old pattern that I need a jiffy hook for. I've also heard in the past it called a speed hook. I need a size S.

Wal*Mart, Joanne's and Micheal's do NOT have this particular hook.

Anybody have one they are willing to loan, sell, etc.?!

If not, do you know of a good place to check to get one?

Thanks.

I've got all the standards, but nothing that size. Maybe check online and have it delivered to you? You might try seeing if Joanne's or Michaels could special order one for you too! Good luck!

I've got a big wooden hook, not sure what size it is. I use it holding 4 threads together for yarn rugs. I'm sure I got it as a give away with other crochet items at some point, don't know where a person could get one. You're welcome to take a look at it and borrow if it will work for you.

That's huge, I had no idea they went up to "S".

I didn't think about checking that since they didn't have it in the store. I was frustrated. Thanks.

Thanks. Since they didn't have one in the store, I figured they didn't carry them. I wasn't sure since it was an older pattern. I'll order it and hope it's right. I like to touch my tools in advance if that makes any sense.

That's exactly the style I was talking about. I've heard them called speed hooks and jiffy hooks, but nobody seems to know what I mean at the stores. If the one Cowgirl found isn't right, I may just contact you. Thank you!

My mother and grandmother used to make the most beautiful afghans, etc. Since my mom has dementia she isn't able to crochet anymore. They both taught me how to knit and crochet but I haven't done it in years. I can't even begin to remember...I'd love to pick it up again. Wonder how hard it would be?

Like riding a bike. Once your hands get comfortable with it, you'll be flying through. I'll be glad to sit down with you one evening and run through a refresher.

I'm going to give it a shot ..maybe start out small. I'm sure I'll need help. Thanks!

I knit and crochet also...would be happy to take 5 minutes ( no kidding) and teach you...it is that easy Catt!
I was at a training this past weekend and saw the cutest hooked artificial bird nests ( cups actually). Such a cleaver idea!!

I do an afghan a year as a Christmas gift.
