turn of the century
January 26, 2008when i found out that my friend vivian had knitting/crocheting tools made by her grandfather and great-grandfather, i asked if she would bring them in to show me so i could blog about them. she estimates them at around the turn of the century into the early 1900s. a few of the embroidery hoops might not be handmade.
if you want a closer look at any of them, click into flickr by clicking on the picture and then click the ‘all sizes’ button above the picture in flickr.
i love the double ended crochet hook.
those are beautiful!! Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! She is lucky to have such a treasure!
Wow awesome! Think of all the useful things made with those.
What a wonderful sentimental treasure to have!
These are wonderful! And in such good shape too.
