ReplyDeleteI love to crochet and those are so pretty. I'd like to make them in a few different colors! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the earring. I have a friend that is looking for something similar but in a snowflake pattern. Do you know of one?
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Hey, Teresa. Did you really mean a 8mm crochet hook or is it a typo?
ReplyDeleteKramfiluren, I just forgot to remove the mm. It is a size 8 steel hook. Thank you for pointing that out.
ReplyDeletewe use milimetre hooks here in SA, what would a size 8 steel hook be in milimetres?
