A Jimbo Hook of my very own!
Over at Crochetville, there is this really cool ol'codger who is a crochet hook wizard/artist by the name of Jimbo. He's been making these gorgeous hooks for other ladies, and I finally took the plunge and ordered one of my own. I asked for a golden Q hook that's a little longer than the LB one I bought back in Dec. Boy did he deliver! :)
This is my hook. It fits my hand perfectly! I took some photos of it in my hand, but it didn't show off the beauty of the hook and showed off my ugly hands too much. lol
I highly recommend anybody who wants a beautiful, custom made wooden hook that fits your hand perfectly - contact Jimbo and support his rebuilding fund!
Wow...that's awesome. Thanks for the link to Jimbo's blog too--I'm going to order one soon. What a great story.

Even though I'm not using it for my Olympic project, I was able to make my starting chain with my jimbo N hook, so it got it's chance to get into the act. May you get many years of enjoyment out of yours, Anna!
