How To Make Your Own Crochet Hook Grip

Make Your Own Crochet Hook Grip As a crocheter, the first thing we worry about is our wrist and hands. One of the solutions to avoid or reduce pain is to find comfort in holding your hooks.

We've seen hooks with polymer clay handles, wood handles, and a lot but they're somehow costly.

Here's an inexpensive but very very easy way to make your own crochet hook grip.

I bought my pencil grips from Japan Store for Php 66.00 ( buy 1 take 1 pack promo so I got the foam and gel). 

I've used rubber bands instead of tape. Rubber bands stick to the hook and pencil grip. Another advantage is, it is removable.

Yarn Swatches!

It's been a week since I posted my first entry on blogspot (whoah time flies so fast....really!). I have been busy with my online project and did not have much time to crochet.

So here's what I come up with in spite of my busy schedule.................Dyarraaannnn!!! My own yarn swatches!! <3 <3 <3

I am still in the process of making these swatches. I have marked with pencil the blocks for yarns (have to do that so I won't get carried away putting in the yarns lol). I will then print out the yarn colors on a sticker and stick on its designated blocks.

Oh I am still awaiting for 3 batches of yarns! That is why there are spaces and I did not print it out with the colors already. 

These are all worsted weight yarns.

I believe this will serve it's purpose. Now my re-sellers would have something to show to their clients which yarn colors are available and their preferred color combination for a certain project.

Simple but usable.

NYC on Blogspot!

I wanted for so long to have my own blog. However, it is always my dilemma where and how to start.

I am not a writer (conquering my fear to write lol). I simply do not know how to put everything in words. Still, I decided to make one though...for my craft.

As I am not a 'good' writer, this will be my online tool for my arts and shop. :-)

I learned crocheting when I was in grade school (in 5th or 6th grade probably). I recall we never had a project but did have an actual examination on how to crochet a chain (ch), single crochet (sc), double crochet (dc), and treble crochet (tr). It appeared that we were using US terms way back.

We were only using size 7 steel hook (1.50mm) then. It did not occur to me that I would be using other sizes than this.

That was the first and the last time I touched a hook until four months ago. Yes! After so many years I fell in love again with hooks! =))

How did this happen?

I was actually interested in knitting. I was watching a local film when I saw one of the characters in the film knitting. I have always been interested in any kind of crafts! So I made my first knitting needles out of banana cue sticks.

Then while searching for patterns, I landed on pieces made of crochet hooks! Very interesting!

I was challenged! Do I still know how to make a chain?

I do! I am so pleased to know that my hands still have a feel on crochet hooks. Although I consider myself as a noob, my mom (who has been a crocheter too) says my works are neatly done.

Four months ago, when I fell inlove again with hooks... I slowly started to learn the basic knitting stitches  and testing my crocheting skills. It was the same month I opened my online shop for fellow crafter to provide supplies for their crafts.

It was called Needle n' Yarn Crafts.
