15; a new skill
This isn’t new-new, but it is the newest skill I’ve learned. I started carving my own stamps, last year. This is my most used (with a regular dye ink pad). It gets stamped on the envelopes that carry printed copies of Lace Love all over the world! Can you see it? It’s a crochet pineapple. No, it’s a heart. No, it’s both. Ohhh-aahhhh.
Speaking of Lace Love, I have less than 15 copies left! If you would like one, please see the shop.
16; texture
The texture of mercerized cotton is pretty neat. And that color? Glorious. I contemplated converting the photo to black & white, to bring out the texture, but I couldn’t bear to part with that lovely morado.
17; last FO I used
After taking some photos of my hooks in an old Picante sauce jar, I realized I liked the shorter/fatter ones more. SO- I put my hooks into this old pimento jar! I have a lot of glass jars. They look so sweet with cozies, no?!
[See my other craft photos from this month.]

Love your stamp! I’ve never really considered stamp carving, but I think you’ve inspired me. :)

ohhh, awesome! I talked about all the stuff I bought to get started in this post– http://goodknits.com/blog/2011/01/12/a-new-hobby/ The book I mention in there, Print Workshop, is excellent!

Cute idea. Pretty picture. :) Crochet hooks are so photogenic– much more than interchangeable circular knitting needles!
