Tuesday’s Crochet Tip – Keep your Crochet Hook Secure

It seems like every time I put my crochet project down, I lose my hook! I started inserting the hook through the project to try to keep the two together, but found it just slipped out eventually.

Now, I wrap a rubber band or a hair tie around the hook. It adds a little extra stickiness that keeps it in place. No more crawling around on the floor or digging in your couch cushions searching for your hook!

   Trouble I have with this is the rubber band rubbing against the yarn will cause it to pill. Also, being the mother of a severly latex/rubber allergic son, you are infecting the yarn. Yes in severely allergic peopleit does matter

   I keep losing my hooks. They slip down through my recliner and go under my chair. Very frustrating. I am going to make a bracelet that will hold onto your hook.
