Sorry about my absence, I've been hooked

To be precise, I've been hooked on hooking!

Crochet is interesting... some crocheters (or hookers) really love making cute amigurumi. Others adore blankets and granny squares. I think I've found my niche in lacy, repetitive patterns that are found in apparel.

But because I like contradicting myself, I'm going to share a non-apparel project.

Crochet hook status: Snug

This is the Ammonite Crochet Hook Roll from lookwhatimade.net.

It's a quick and easy pattern, although it does get tricky at the end, as you will make treble, quadruple, quintuple(!!) crochets to form the ammonite. But it's a good challenge, and very satisfying to complete.

Originally the plan was to make the entire case in the grey. Due to lack of planning on my part, I ran out of grey and had to improvise with some novelty yarn (the blue with pastel speckly pieces*).

To my eyes it worked out perfectly, especially as the speckly pieces happened to match the colours of the hooks.

I like serendipity!

Ending my post with some closure
