One of the best things about owning the Cooks Larder (apart from access to amazing food everyday) is meeting lots of people. Last weekend by chance I met a very clever woman indeed… she and her brother carve beautiful crochet hooks from sticks… so simple, so lovely, I just had to ask to borrow them so I could photograph them. People who know me well know that when not cooking I love a bit of craft …. so I dug out my kitchen twine from the messy third draw (usually reserved for stringing up the Christmas turkey) and crocheted a classic granny square… very appealing even if totally useless!
Gorgeous!!! A woman of many talent you are
they are so beautiful,it makes me want to crotchet. I just want to hold one they look so tactile.
Sam, I adore the images – the way you’ve combined natural colours and textures to reflect the naturalness of the ‘twiggy’ crochet hooks – gorgeous …
Dear Patrice, Keep an eye out for that lovely french linen… I have made lovely napkins from it and am in the process embroidering vintage cameras in the corners for something fun…. it is so lovely to work with and oh so expensive. ..of course!
