My Beautiful Embroidery Floss Organizer!!!

Thank you so much to Deborah from bookloverx2 on Esty, for making my beautiful embroidery floss organizer. The idea came from a picture on Flickr and I just wanted to have one, I think is a wonderful way to storage my floss, she added some ribbons to the design too, so I can carry it everywhere. It featured small pockets for needles and scissors. I can wait to have it!, I will take some pictures with all my embroidery floss so you can have a better idea how it works.

Anatomy of a Crochet Hook

The point is the tip of the hook.
The throat is the slender part of the hook.
The shaft is the part of the hook where you carry the yarn loop. This part determines the size of your crochet stitches. Therefore the hook size can be measured by the diameter of the shaft in millimetres.
The thumb rest is where you put your thumb and middle finger to hold and turn your hook.
The handle is the remaining part of your hook.
