short crochet hooks? by [email protected]
I'm looking for a source for short crochet hooks in various sizes. A friend of mine was recently institutionalized, and the rules are pretty tight about what kinds of things she's allowed to have. Specifically, they allow crochet hooks, as long as the hooks are plastic and less than four inches...

Silk drive band - update by WoolyGooly
5 hours. That's how long I got out of my 8-ply spindle-spun driveband. I was muttering under my breath about the problem when DH looked over at my wheel and asked if the drive wheel rim was supposed to be pointing so far left (from his POV) of the "little pulley spinny bits over here closest to...
