Description
To keep track of my ever growing collection of crochet hooks, I made an organizer to hold them all.There are a few of the larger hooks missing... because one of them I lost on the bus the other day and another one was lost on my trip (I lost it on the plane
), so I will have to replace those two. Go me.Anyway, I simply crocheted a long strip of plain old single crochet back and forth, sewed the bottom flap over and sewed the little compartments in. Then I sewed over the top flap and added a button. Easy to store, easy to transport, easy to find any size I need.
As usual, no pattern, just winged it.
The colorful part was left over yarn from the snake scarf I made, the rest is simple dark brown acrylic yarn.

I still need to make myself something similar. I keep buying hooks, but I need a good place to put them so I won't loose them!

Yup, they do pile up after a while.

I haven't been into crochet that long yet, so I'm still considering myself a learner and I still work from patterns 
My next mission is learning that magic ring, 'cause no matter how many times I watch youtube videos, I still haven't managed doing it
I might try making an organizer when I feel a bit more self assured about my crocheting

Oh, really? The magic ring is so easy once you get the hang of it. Maybe I should make a photo tutorial to explain it... hmm....
I only just started crochet this January myself, so I still consider myself a newbie too.
The organizer is so easy to make since you really just go back and forth in rows with single crochet, that's all it was.

I'd love to see a photo tutorial, maybe that would make it easier to understand, instead of moving subjects in short films
You changed colors, right? I think I can manage that
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I did change colors, but only because I ran out of the funky colorful yarn.
I shall see if I can whip up a tutorial in the next few days, shouldn't to too hard.

Hmm... it took quite a while to make, so I guess it would be around $45.

Fudge, don't have that kinda money right now.

Well, it IS just single crochet in a line, you could easily make one yourself.

I just don't have the time.

I love this! Mine are all stuffed into a little ziplock bag and I usually end up stabbing myself looking for the tiny scissors ;-;

Mine were all floating around in a spongebob lunch tin, along with safety eyes and needles and stuff.

I just kinda.. wing it
I don't know most of the more 'technical terms' when following a pattern. Google comes in helpful though
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yah, I make most of my patterns myself
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's because you're awesome
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah, it's because I lack the patience and concentration to follow patterns.

Don't tell peoples that... they'll just think you're awesome instead

Love the colors! I went out and just bought a leather one with a zipper, but it isn't big enough to hold my P and Q hooks. Making one like this would let you customize so those could fit. This might be something I attempt in the future. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I saw a bunch of ready made ones, but I have such a mixed collection of hooks, they would have never all fit in them, so I figured customizing it is the way to go.

They let you take it on the plane?? What if you had gone on a murderous rampage! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A murderous rampage... with... a blunt crochet hook?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
It looks great!! I use something similar for my leatherworking tools.
Sorry you lost some of your hooks. 
Great work!

Thanks!
But they're crochet hooks, why wouldn't they let them on the plane? It's not like they are sharp or anything. They're also not filled with water.
I'll go replace the hooks next chance I get, I usually buy the cheaper variety anyway
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
they choose the weirdest things to allow/not allow.
For example... you can't bring liquids through security, but you can purchase them afterwards...and take them on the plane. No knives, but the "higher-end" eateries still have metal ones. Heck, the plastic ones do damage. For that matter, they let through small #s of toiletries now.. what is to stop someone from putting in seperate containers stuff to mix like a laughing gas?
Knitting needles and crochet hooks - metal implements, could do alot of damage. Heck, if you think about it, large airports sell flowers in glass vases (I know O'Hare does).
So I am perpetually entertained that I cannot take a mini, one-inch swiss army knife aboard on my keyring, but Knitting Nancy can take two-foot long pointy metal things.
For that matter, some people can do just as much damage with belts, shoelaces, and pens (thank you NCIS for that one...good show.)
(I spent too long as a criminal justice major, I think lol)
Glad you can replace them, at least
Sorry for the rambling >_>.
