I don't know about you
but I have certain things
that I like on hand before I can crochet.
I don't take them everywhere with me.
If I'm in the middle of a project
it's just my yarn bag, yarn & hook. If I'm designing then I need a few more things.

First I set-up my space.
I don't have it set-up all the time
as we don't have the space.
While hubby is at work and Little Red is at school
this is how I like to crochet: Yes I know I must look like a little old lady alread.
I've got my rocking chair that my Granddad gave me.
My table, a box of different colours of yarn
& my foot stool. This is my tool case.
It's just a pencil case but it has all my handy little things in. My favorite hooks
I have another case in with all the different sizes in
but I like to keep my favorite and most used hooks
close at hand.
I love my bamboo hooks but I also like
swapping to my fimo covered hooks
so that my hands are holding the hook at different angles. My scissors My tape measure My little tin My needle threader r & yarn needle (the are more in the tin but these are my must haves)
I have a number of different types of stitch markers
but I love these plastic safety pins. A pencil & rubber.
When I am designing this is a must. My pattern book.
Sorry no I didn't take a picture with a pattern on it :-)

What are your must haves when crocheting?
