When I started to design four years ago I could not even imagine how many new friends I will have very soon. I feel so lucky and happy at the same time. Almost all my new friends are virtual. And one of them is Hilde Tindlund (aka RoadRash), a lovely lady from Norway who is helping me a lot with pattern testing. Hilde has designed a cute and very handy crochet hook organizer. And she kindly gave me permission to publish it on my blog. And I am proud and happy to share it with you today. It can make a lovely last minute gift for Christmas, don’t you agree?
