Good morning ladies. I haven't been doing much crocheting the last week. The only thing I have to show today is a painted crochet hook.
It is a size U 25mm wood crochet hook that I bought at AC Moore for $8.99. I dipped it in aqua acrylic paint, hung it up on a cup hook to dry, then dipped it in blue acrylic paint and hung it up to dry again. I then added the dots with a chopstick. I haven't used it yet, but I'll be ready if I ever get the idea to crochet a rug or a really thick blanket. Have a great week everyone. :)
