Whoa! Here’s an excellent new product from the hands of tatting/ceramic diva LadyShuttleMaker: flat, retractable hook pens. She says,
A few years ago I purchased a hook pen for use in my tatting projects and I loved it for many reasons, mainly because it was harder to lose and I didn’t end up stabbing myself with the point because I always retracted the hook when it was not in use. Unfortunately those pens are no longer made so I decided to start making my own. I have even been able to improve upon the design. Because these hook pens are flat they are perfect for saving your spot in your tatting pattern books. No more hooks rolling away and getting lost in your couch cushions…YAY! Go to my Etsy shop to get your hand decorated retractable hook pen which is also doubles as a bookmark.
As usual, I have no affiliation with this artisan. I just think her product is awesome. See more photos and get ordering info from her blog post.
It is so great to see tatting, and tatting supplies featured here. I bought this very product today and can’t wait to receive it. All of Lady Shuttle Maker’s creations are treasures. Thanks for giving her the press.
I Love Lady ShuttleMaker’s stuff! I am always pleased to see you tooting the “tatting horn”!
I have one of LadyShuttleMaker’s hook pens; and, have bought others for a little remembrance to friends. LSM does lovely work and I’m glad to see it is getting recognized.
There are a lot of tatters out in cyberspace. BTW this product is also good for those who crochet because she will give you a choice of hook sizes.
Thank you for featuring this wonderful young woman’s arts; and her connection to the tatting world.
