I once was asked to put my "work" away when I was crocheting at a baby shower. All was forgiven though when I mentioned I was working on the blanket for the next baby shower that was coming up in a few days. <br />Way to go getting the hook back!Barbara Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09372190768792707733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6705138931532479252.post-18210625338261091012011-11-12T02:04:12.328+00:002011-11-12T02:04:12.328+00:00I lost something super special once too.

Brought back memories and reminded me of the lengths we go to for the things most important to us. It just goes to show that if we truly want something badly enough, we can get it :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6705138931532479252.post-67177122898423565472011-11-11T22:52:09.361+00:002011-11-11T22:52:09.361+00:00I loved this post, so quirky and unusual yet chock...I loved this post, so quirky and unusual yet chock full of every day life.

I have a habit of scribbling in my diary on the metro (which is what the tube is called back in India), and the reactions I get are just the same.

One day, she set her things on the seat beside her, and her friend sat down on the pile and got the hook stuck in her... well...her hind end! They had to got to the hospital to have it taken out!<br />I love your story though. Absolutely the most entertaining thing I've read all day!Nessa Lockehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10793613496258240147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6705138931532479252.post-65139502138794171422011-11-09T22:30:49.711+00:002011-11-09T22:30:49.711+00:00What a great story!

I lost something on a train once and was so gutted as I realised, turning round to watch the train pull out. Your story was so good I passed my phone to my girlfriend do she could read it: which hardly ever happens. Well done for getting it back and writing such a good post about it.Dickyhttp://www.dickycarter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6705138931532479252.post-65234653072671548492011-11-09T22:27:48.214+00:002011-11-09T22:27:48.214+00:00I used to crochet while watching baseball games.

I'm in awe of your bravery in seeking out the hook - I think I would have just given it up for lost. <br /><br />Oh - and I'm afraid it's knitting first, crochet second choice for me - but either is brilliant!Sharon Longworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120227975152565893noreply@blogger.com
