Help a Reader: Alien Crochet Hooks

February 3, 2011 by FaveCrafts

Every now and then, everyone could use a helping hand.  Ready to lend your assistance?   Below you’ll find a few readers in need.  If you feel you can help or have any suggestions, please post your answer in the comments. Please try to supply instructions and/or links.

Barbara asks,
About 35 years ago I made a “Patchwork dog” stuffed animal. I think it was done with the afghan stitch. I can’t find the pattern but I can’t be the only one that ever did it. Please, can you help?

Jane asks,
Years ago I made brown bag pins; got the idea from Aleen’s Creative Living show. I have not been able to find the directions to this project. I remember it required 3 layers of brown paper bag, but not the rest.

Lois asks,
We have a mystery in our group that we need answered.   Someone gave us a crochet hook that is very unusual. It’s ‘v’ shaped – about 6″ on each side of the ‘v’.  on each tip of the ‘v’ is an out-facing c. hook. It is a metal hook, and has NOT been bent into a ‘v’ — looks almost new, and there are NO wrinkles at the curve, suggesting that it’s been bent to the ‘v’ shape. Can you possibly tell us what it is and what it’s used for?
