on a roll.....
here it is , all finished complete with trim, button and a few bloodstains....I stick myself so often with needles and pins that I don't really pay attention anymore when I do.
Note to self: check to see just how much damage you did to your thumb before continuing to sew. Failure to do so may result in bloodstains on your nearly completed piece of work......
I managed to blot the bloodstain off so you can barely see it unless you look really closely (don't,please) and sewed on the button to finish it off.
No more fishing around for my size 2.50 crochet hook....
Looks great! I spent half an hour last night searching for a 5mm crochet hook and was swearing at myself the while time I had to make one of these soon!

What a beautiful roll - it is so sweet. I have just realised I need one. : )
[Also - I sympathise with the bleeding onto work problem. It is a major nuisance!]

That's really nice! I didn't see any blood stains. Don't worry though, y ou are not the only one who sticks herself countless times while sewing. I do all the time!

The crochet hooks roll is lovely and a great organizing tool. I constantly stick myself with pins and, just yesterday, began contemplating the potentiality of incurring blood poisoning or something if this keeps up.

I like to call it "suffering for my art". Or something to that effect.
It's a lovely hook holder, and I swear I cannot see any blood stains.
