The Sisterhood of the Travelling Crochet Hook: 6: How to join in on the fun

by Noreen on January 5th, 2007

At first, when I was thinking about The Sisterhood of the Travelling Crochet Hook, I thought that it would be a kind of round robin. But, then, I got one of those ‘woojie’ feelings up my spine, remembering the laments of people on email lists, who sent off their treasures in trust, only to have them vanish.

shudder.

I had fallen totally in love with one of the Gulliver crochet hooks that I had just made-

and realized that I was not about to part with it -

I would have been crushed to have her get lost on her travels.

So, I came up with a different way of creating

The Sisterhood of the Travelling Crochet Hook-

Here’s how:
1: You can be part of The Sisterhood of the Travelling Crochet Hook on your own, or with a trusted friend or sister or group of friends.

2: You decide which hook will become your Travelling Crochet Hook. It can be wild and whimsical, like the Gulliver hooks that we make
(click on Gulliver Hooks) or a plain and simple crochet hook.

3: You decide what kind of adventure your hook is going to have. Will it be a time traveller, and have a teaparty with Jane Austen?

or perhaps a chat with The Empress Theodora about matters of state?

4: Will your Travelling crochet hook accompany you on your next trip to your favorite place on earth? Or just to your favorite yarn shop or bookstore? Take pictures! Tell us about it! Send them to me, and I’ll post them (the usual disclaimers about respecting copyright and good taste etc) to the blog!
