I've been crocheting the whole afternoon, trying to finish the baby blankie before I actually go into labor. My eyes hurt and the veins in my hands are practically bulging, but it was no big deal for me. Sadly, my bamboo crochet hook (which I made myself) decided to force me into resting by breaking. No, it did not break into two pieces (though my grip is somewhat tight). The hook itself broke off from the body, leaving me with an ordinary bamboo barbecue stick (which is what the thing was before I carved it into a hook). I have no idea what to do right now, I've only done about 1/4 of the granny squares needed for the blankie, and there are no large crochet hooks available.
I suppose I could always make a new one, but my main concern is accuracy. The second one should have the exact dimensions and hook size like the first one (since it was a makeshift crochet hook, I did not have the time to measure, but it is roughly 4mm me thinks).
Well, will sleep on it tonight. By tomorrow, I do hope to find a solution to this problem. I have a lot of projects queued up T_T
