The Old and the New

Sometimes I get really attached to an old sewing notion or crochet hook I have and even when I replace it, it's rough to give it up. I just replaced my crochet cotton/thread holder, and even after buying a new one, I will still be keeping the old one. :o)

Here's my old crochet cotton/thread holder:





I'm sure you can see, while being inconvenient, it has great sentimental value. ha ha!

And here's the new one I bought off ebay:





I can't wait to try it out!! It even has holes drilled to hold hooks and a yarn needle. :o)) And, the cotton won't get drooled on! :o) I let my former thread holder keep the yarn that he spit all over, so when I crochet, he has his own to play with. It was an acceptable compromise for both of us. :o))

Hugs!

    Ha! Ha! Loved your post about your old crochet thread holder! I'm so glad that you didn't get rid of the old one. It's too precious! However, I am IN LOVE with your new one! Wow! It looks handmade...who did you buy it from? I wonder if they are selling more? Very nifty!

    The seller I bought it from was bigskybuzz. She doesn't have any auctions listed right now, but it is handmade so I bet she lists more of them when she posts new auctions. It has holes bored for crochet hooks and one for a yarn needle. It just love it!

    Oh, so sweet! The second holder is very efficient I'm sure but you can't question the charm and endearing qualities of the first one :) Drool is a tiny drawback...Boy do I remember those days, seems like only yesterday!
