First off, here's the 2014 version of the annual Valentine Jimbo Hook. It's made of Maple, with a hand shaped Red Heart inlay set in a polished matrix of brass filings. Pretty? It could be yours! My Valentine gift to you. All you need do is either enter a comment to this post, OR email me. Please only ONE entry per person. The contest will close at 10pm Pacific time on
A personal note. Of the Valentine Hooks I've made and gave away, this one was the most challenging, so I'm hoping there will be lots of interest and entries.
Good luck!

Hook #5 |
A Bloodwood Beauty. Nope this one didn't come from the Ranch. Bloodwood is one of the hardest and prettiest woods that I work with, and this one is a prime example of the best, with pretty subtle contrasting grain figure. It's a 7 (4.5mm) and is 7.25 inches long.
Bids:
Sarah bids $25
Diana takes it to $30
Barbara's here with $65

Hook #6 |
And another beauty from the old Apple tree, bear selected Jimbo made. Note the little flame of contrasting grain at the heel. This one's a K (6.5mm) and is 6.5 inches long.
Bids:
Rhonda C goes $20.00.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hook #7
And another Deadman Crick Hook. Whew who'd a thunk so many crochet hooks would evolve from the old ranch up on the Crick. I think I've made more hooks from up there than all the chickens we raised. This one keeps a bit of the character of the branch that was pruned from the tree by a bear while he/she was climbing for apples. Had a good number of branches pruned that way last year, maybe because the apple crop was better. Anyways, this hook is an I (5.5mm) and is 7 inches long.
Bids:
Regina is in first with $25
Diana's here with $30
Barbara! $60
