My decision to upcycle an old scissors case scores over my decision to buy a new case that’s specialized for crochet hooks in two important respects.
First, it is slightly cheaper; and second, it has the words “DON’T PANIC” inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover.
plenty of slots for hooks on the right, and a zipper pocket with little containers to hold stitch markers, yarn needles, measuring tape…
to make this cover, i crocheted a rectangle (with a hole in it for the handle on the side), then worked the letters in a freeform surface slip stitch. using matching thread, i stitched the cover around the top and bottom edges onto the case.
this is what it was before i altered it. of course, i still have all of those awesome scissors, but they don’t need a dedicated case.
