  • I'm going to look out for that baby and toddler book at the library. All the patterns I have seen so far are for tiny babies, I want to make my strapping 18 month old something! :D

    That's the seller I got mine from. I was well impressed, I ordered them on the good old iPhone eBay app on my way to work on Friday and they arrived Saturday morning. :T

    I haven't got pictures of all my hooks but this one will give you an idea of what I use to crochet with :)

    And a handbag I made up with spare odds and ends. I used a baby blue wool all the way through and just doubled it with all my odds and ends... looked pretty good :)
