I will put pictures up as soon as its done

I have a little tip too; my hubby makes mine out of the knitting needles....when I have a 50% off coupon I buy the wooden kitting needles and my hubby makes me crochet hooks out of those. (plus there comes two in a pack so if one gets a little off wack there is always another one to try again w/)
cool thanks for the tip I will have to tell him
