Yarnification

Dawn asked “What holds your hooks?” Mine is not so pretty as hers or the ones I’m seeing in other people’s blogs, but it’s functional.

It was born as one of those plastic tubes of 3D Doritos. I saw it in the store and thought it would do admirably for holding my hooks, so I brought it home, ate one Dorito (yech—I like regular Doritos but these were icky), dumped the rest of them into a tupperware container for everyone else to eat, and washed out the container and pulled the label off.

And voilà! A portable hook case that holds everything except my Q hook. Besides the hooks, there are yarn needles & threaders, folding scissors, a little ruler, and a tiny sharpener for the folding scissors in there.

The pop-off lid is handy, too—when I’m using the yarn needles, I can put the needle and threader in the lid when I’m not using them so I don’t lose them, which I’m prone to do.
