I used to crochet.  I crocheted an itsy-bitsy bikini for myself in high school and wore it outside while I wrote a term paper.  Omigod -- I was burned on every part of my body because folks, at least the way I crocheted, crochet has holes!!!   Although it wasn't crochet's fault that I was a foolish teenager I pretty much never crocheted again.

Fast forward twenty + years.  Now I knit.  I love to knit.  I love to read about knitting and look at knitting patterns.  And I love all the tools and gadgets.  I love how knitted fabric looks and feels.  No interest in trying crochet again.

Until. . . Wendy showed a cute striped bag she is working on.  I followed her link to kpixie and beheld this tiny purse kit and it is crochet.  With tiny yarn and a tiny hook required (1.75 mm -- smaller than US size 0 -- whoever heard of such a thing?).  But it is very very cute.  And it is a bag, another obsession of mine (really containers of all sorts and each large bag must have several small bags in it to contain my other obsession -- tools).

So, I've been eyeing this cute Aero hook set (why buy one hook when you can satisfy two hungers at once -- tools in a container!).  And the other colors of the adorable yarn.

Stop me.
