Valentine Crochet! A heart hook for you? Contest!!!

And the 2013 Jimbo Valentine Hook winner is.........

BENITA


Congratulations Benita!  Please contact me within two days with an address where the hook should be sent.   And thanks to all who participated!!  I'm HOOKED on you!  Happy Valentine's Day!!




Oh man this one is extra hard to give away,  Ah but it's Valentine season..  so  since I like you all so much  (I've NEVER met a crochetier I didn't like... amazing eh?); I'm going to give it away.
How to do that?  Well first a little bit about the hook.  It's made, of course, from RedHeart, a beautiful naturally red wood.  Its all one piece, no joints, laminations etc; just a single beautiful chunk of RedHeart that wanted in the worst way to become my annual Valentine hook.  Technically, it's an H (for  "H"eart) of course; and it's almost stretching to 9 inches long... maybe a bit long for an everyday workhorse hook, but the winner might want to set this beauty aside for only special projects. Don't get me wrong though, this is a completely functional crochet hook, not just another pretty face.

Ok here's the deal:

Post an entry by way of comment here in my blog, spreading Valentine wishes (one entry per person, please), or if posting is difficult, simply email me the same at

I'll end the contest, oh lets say Feb. 12 at 10pm Pacific Time.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!
from your biggest fan

I want you to know, that I am an artist also. I use many different mediums to express my art. But your hooks are the most absolutely beautiful pieces of true art I have seen in a very long time. You are a very blessed man and God has given you a wonderfully talented gift. From my heart to your soul, May God continue to bless you, so that the world can experience the hooks that you create. Have a very happy Valentine’s Day.

Jimbo said...

OH JIMBO! Won’t you be my valentine? You have truly outdone even yourself on this one. I have been wishing for and “H” hook for a long time. I want you to enter me in your contest to win this fabulous hook! PLEASEEEEE…… I am keeping my finger, toes and maybe even my arms crossed until the 12th for sure!

Love always,

Paula



Roses are red

Violets are blue,

I’m a happy hooker,

And while this is true,

Jimbo’s the man, he knows what ta do.



He’s turns out his hooks,

One after the other,

He’s a big pimpin daddy,

He’s just like no other.



(via blushing again, Jimbo)

Jimbo said...

I love your hooks. May you and your wife have many more Valentine days together.



Best wishes

well now how very generous you are Jimbo! that hook is awsome! and RED WOOD! thats amazing. i crochet with all my Jimbo hooks and i love em!
you know, your give-a-way reminds me of something precious ive learned. its an awsome thing to be a giver of a gift. you KNOW how it feels to give something to someone knowing they'll love it.
its a blessing to give. we are sewing love into lives and you can reap blessings from being a giver.
but sometimes i think we are not so good at being receivers. we often want to be the giver, to get that thrill of giving, but i have learned that when we say-"oh you didnt have to do that!" or "no thanks, i can handle it", what we are truly doing is taking away what that person can reap from THEIR generosity and love they are trying to sew in our life!

so now, i just try to say thank you and try to receive from others graciously.
sorry i kinda got carried away with all that!! lol
but you are certainly a blessed man because you are always giving away your "heart" in your Hook works of art, and i think thats grand.
