Lost and Found

I can’t even remember how old I was when my grandmother taught me how to crochet. It was well over 10 years ago. I remember that when she taught me, she took me to this little fabric store in the “pueblo” and bought me a pretty powder blue crochet hook. Before that, she gave me one of her pink ones… Well, somewhere along the way, I lost them, bought other hooks to replace them, got rid of them or gave them away, and repeated until I bought my wonderful set of Susan Bates hooks — for the life of me I couldn’t figure out why I was so drawn to them…

 

…Well, last week I was going through my stash and reorganizing and guess what I found at the very bottom of one of my containers!?

 

 

Yep, those are my very first two crochet hooks!!!

Of course, they are S. Bates hooks and completely priceless to me. :] I’m so delighted to have found them after not seeing them for such a long time! (When I was younger, I used to cry when I couldn’t find them, haha) Now, they’re safely in my little case with my other lovely hooks (though probably a little more loved than the others, but we won’t tell them, will we?).
