Yesterday I got 'Crochet' magazine, from the makers of 'Simply Knitting'. It Was 15 Euro!!!, but was worth every cent. It has 68 lovely projects, and when I saw this litl crochet hook case, I made it straight away! Love it, its so small and handy. Instead of suggested purple, I picked Limy green. (froggly green :)
This is how it opens:
And my Froggy is in love with this case, she thinking to make it her lilt house :)))
