Considering how long I've had him, he is in really good shape. He came from Tesco (other supermarkets and retailers of pencil cases are available) in the sale. I can't recall his price then but to me he is priceless. If I ever lost him, I would be devastated as all my favourite hooks, which I have collected during my crochet life, are in him waiting to be chosen for my next project!
Me: Hello Birdy, how are you today?
Birdy: I'm quite well thank you. And you?
Me: Not to bad, not to bad.
Birdy: Are you ready to start a new project?
Me: Yes I am.
Birdy: Which hook will you be needing?
Me: Well the pattern says a 4mm
Birdy: Ahh. I recommend a 4.5mm then for you Sarah. As you know, your natural tension is on the tight side so generally you always need to go up .5mm hook size.
Me: Very true - you're always so helpful! What would I do without you?
Birdy: Always happy to help. Now, you have two 4.5mm hooks in here. Will you be needing the Clover hook with the ergonomic handle or the light up hook?
Me: Good question Birdy. The yarn is pretty dark for this project, I think the light up hook will be best.
Birdy: Very good, very good.
(Sound of clinking and rummaging as Birdy locates the hook)
Birdy: Here you go. Now be careful with it, last time you used it to play Star Wars and nearly broke it. Remember - a light sabre it is not.
Me: I will be careful Birdy. Cross my heart.
Birdy: Good luck with the project Sarah. Be sure to show me when you're done.
Me: Thanks Birdy. I will.
Birdy: Oh - one last thing. Is there any chance you could give me a bit of a tidy up? I'm getting a bit full and there are things in here we never use.
Me: Of course Birdy - I'd do anything for you!
