Polymer Crochet Hooks

Today I finished my very first order of custom crochet hooks.  It was for a client who ordered them for his mother's birthday gift.  Because it was a gift and my very first order I also made him 3 matching stitch markers.  It took several days for me to finally decide on a color scheme to match what her requested.  His mother loves sunflowers and he wanted something to reflect that.  Of course I first thought of yellow and white.  After thinking about it for a while though I decided that I did not like the basic colors and I wanted to do something that was more exciting to look at.  I finally decided to do a pearl green, yellow, and white marbled design.  Do to the fact that the kids were running around and pulling out every single toy in the whole house it took me longer than expected to make the marbled cane for the hooks.  Before I even started on the hooks I made the stitch markers.  I used the skinner method to blend the yellow into the brown so that I would have a nice dimension to the petal. I then went in search of something that would work to connect the flower to her crochet project.  I finally decided on lobster clasps from the jewelry department. They work great.  After posting the picture of the finished hooks to a few crochet sites that I am on I was flooded with orders!!  I am so excited! This little bit of extra income will make a huge difference to our budget.
