When I was a little girl ...(ARGH - Captcha!!!!!!!)<br /><br />When I was a little girl my mother had a special tool for picking up dropped stitches. I have an idea that it was a war-time thing, used for repairing those precious stockings. It was like a tiny-scale rug hook, with a little clasp on it that held each stitch safe as one picked them up. It was better than a small size crochet hook because it had rounded smooth edges and was less likely to split the stitches.<br /><br />I have never seen one in the shops but I would love to have one of my own. I wonder if they still exist?plumbumhttp://www.woolgathering.org.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422935940416214468.post-66270220729912685602010-04-29T07:42:26.408+01:002010-04-29T07:42:26.408+01:00You know, when I asked my grandma that I wanted to...You know, when I asked my grandma that I wanted to knit, she taught me crochet first. At first, I thought she did it because she was old... but then I realised that crochet was so integral part of knitting and I am so grateful for it! My grandma was totally with it :D<br />Hope you have a lovely day!<br />x<br />KyokoKyokohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289005841209205003noreply@blogger.com
