Description
The star on the front actually does have a purpose. It lets me know that's the 'bottom' of the toolbox, so when I pick it up, I don't accidentally turn it upside down and risk losing one of the hooks.A few of my hooks are irreplaceable, given to me by women who had been using them for countless years before I was graced with them. They're precious gifts I treasure.
The hooks are pretty secure in there, but I'm a worry-wart and don't take any chances with them. (lol, my girls will attest to how insane I get if I misplace one for a few minutes, we end up tearing the house apart till I find it )

This is very.. Very amazing. I love the idea.. I actually need a place to keep my hooks, do you mind if I use this idea? If you don't it's totally fine. Ha-ha.. Do you have a pattern? Thank you.

You're more than welcome to use the idea! I don't have a pattern tho, I made that quite a while back. I modified a hook case from an old magazine, and there used to be one very close to it online, but it's gone now (or at least, it won't load for me anymore). But go ahead, it's not hard to make really, just looking at it you can kinda figure out how it's done... I just made one that held the hooks I had.
I have ALOT more hooks now LOL (I buy antique and vintage hooks all the time) but I still use that one for my 'most used' hooks

This is beautiful. Was it hard to make?
I've made hats, blankets, and scraves. But haven't tried anything else.

Thank you 
No, it wasn't very hard to make at all. I had to do a bit of pre-planning to accommodate all my hooks tho. I think I've seen a version of this online somewhere, altho I used a pattern from an old crochet book, I'm sure others have used the same pattern style and adapted it to their needs as well.
One of the best things about crocheting, is the versatility of it, and the ability to adapt patterns to fit your needs specifically. Rarely do I find the 'exact' pattern I want ready made for me, LOL so I've learned to make the adaptations to fit what I want or need.
Experiment with different ideas, you'll be amazed at just how easy it is to make all the things you want, exactly how you want them
