how could i possibly leave them there? lovely metal hooks, with such a nice feel! i never never never find crochet hooks in op-shops, and i got this whole bundle for 50 cents! love love love it
so the bit not about crochet: while we were on holiday, the little church around the corner from where we were staying had a garage sale. we poured over everything, and i got a pile of wool, and a pile of books. including this one. first of all i walked past it, i mean its nothing to look at from the outside:
but flipping it open:
what's not to love about it! patterns for 70's children's toys. sewing patterns, knitting patterns, clothing patterns. can't wait to get started on them all!
*i have asked it before - but can someone please explain to me why op-shops always have an abundance of knitting needles, but there is never a crochet hook to be seen!?

Oh my! What fantastic scores. 50c for crochet hooks - bargain. And that book - wow - what a hidden treasure. Enjoy.
Such awesome finds! I'm so envious :-P I never find have any luck at op shops..
Some really good things came out of the 70's!
Great finds....and I know what you mean about crochet hooks in op shops - always a glut of knitting needles, often in mismatched bundles!
Happy retro creating!
Oh i saw crochet hooks the other day but I cant crochet. Should have got them though if you say they are scarce.. Love the book!! Can't wait to see some creations :-)
