Any Crocheters?

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.

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! :flowers:

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.

I do it every evening (crochet), and I think I have an S hook as I inherited all of mom's stuff. I'll check tonite and let you know.

This was my latest project, took me a few months, donated it for a charity for an auction and I think they got 60 bucks for it.

That's neat!

I learned how to crochet in summer camp when I didn't want to play with the other children..lol...one of the counselors started a blanket for me..and I just kept adding to it..by the end of the summer I had a very respectable pot holder...:killingme

You so rock :love: Thanks for checking.

:clap:

I tend to give all my projects away, but I know sometimes though, that by the time it's all said and done, between my time and the yarn, I probably could have just bought a Target blanket, scarf, hat, booties whatever, instead. :lmao:

You have to do this cause you love it. :smile:

Exactly and when you give someone a gift made with your own hands it's pretty cool. Depending on what it is, sometimes they aren't so thrilled. I've seen so ugly things given as gifts made by people, but it's the thought that counts. :killingme

That's beautiful.

My mom has done several blankets for me that I cherish. I have the baby blanket she did for my youngest daughter that I will be putting away to save for her until she's old enough to appreciate that her grandmother made that with love for her.

Wow, that's beautiful! I can't believe they only got $60 for it. If you donate any others to them, suggest, instead of auctioning, they do a raffle. They would probably make more!

You probably could, but there's not much sentimental value in a target blanket. I'll take a home made blanket any day.
