I've been crocheting . . . a lot. I got it in my head one day to learn to crochet so I could make a hat. It's always fun to me to learn something new, but I wasn't sure how it would go. I taught myself to knit (but not purl) a couple of years ago, and it was fine. That pretty much means that if knitting was the only way to pass time, I could tolerate it but it certainly wouldn't be my first choice of crafts.
But for some reason, crochet was different for me. I first made a hat for my 5-year-old that was too big. After reworking it, it fits now but there is nothing special about it. I hijacked it back so I improve it even more. The second hat I made was for my 3-year-old who doesn't appreciate handmade items as much. But this hat is so cute. I just can't figure out how to get the photos off my phone.
I have made several other hats that I will share soon, but I first wanted to share the case I made to carry my crochet hooks and knitting needles. Most of these hooks and needles were extras that my mom gave to me. I have since purchases a few hooks on sale of sizes that I didn't have.
It rolls up nicely for easy transport.
The only thing I would do differently (and I will have a chance because my mom requested one) is to add some kind of flap so the needles stay in when help upside down. I try not to carry it upside down, but when I'm in a hurry I can't tell the difference.
Now I just have to remember to put my hooks back in here when I'm done with them.
