new hook and pet snuggle

A big surprise in my mail today. My friend Fran sent me a beautiful new crochet hook. My camera didn't catch the color very well but it's beautiful. It's an H hook which is the size I use most often. Thank you, Fran, for your thoughtfulness.

In other news I completed another pet snuggle.

For this snuggle, I chained 61 with an I hook. It's about 16 x 17 1/2". The yarn is Red Heart Super Saver Wedgewood which was donated to me for charity purposes. I think I have enough yarn for another one too.

[update] I forgot to say that the stitch is single crochet across. Ch 1 and turn at the end of each row. I generally use single crochet for pet snuggles so it can be closed, nothing to catch claws on.

Happy crocheting!
