I LOVE the idea of a jar of crochet hooks as Art. Lovely!
1. My small set of Susan Bates crochet hooks. I love the way their hooks work.
2. My antique 1920's stork embroidery scissors. So! sharp. So! precise. They're a joy to use; and the very first nice thing I ever bought for myself after college.
3. My 12" by 2" transparent art ruler. It's divided by eighths all through it. I am totally dependent upon it and I don't wish to quit.
4. My thinnest-nosed needle-nose pliers.
5. My pliers that crush then shape finishing metal beads at the end of strings.
And off the list, last but not least, my 30+YO Singer portable sewing maching. She has given me all kinds of grief, we have had major battles together, but now that I've found a repair person who loves her as much as I do she's finally purring and I am loving it. I will teach my daughter how to sew on this sewing machine.
