588, RE: A question for the crafty types... Posted by Pepperfire, Wed Jan-03-07 09:12 AM
I haven't crocheted since our house fire in 2004, but I had a beautiful set of crochet hooks. Unlike my knitting needle case, which was enormous, my crochet hook case was the size of a paperback novel, so wieldiness would not be a consideration.
My other thought was that short of it being a special handle, something unique and one of a kind, I can't see it being particularly sellable.
That said.
If my daughter started getting into crocheting, (as if), I would have wanted to purchase for her her very own set of hooks, so that she wouldn't be using mine, and a keepsake handle with interchangeable hook heads might be an interesting gift and then would have apparent value to me: but then, it would be the handle that would be of interest, moreso than the hook heads. And, as already mentioned, it would have to be so well designed as to not snag on the wool or thread (depending on what medium the crocheter is working in).
Good luck with the idea, I hope my thoughts are of use.
