5 out of 5 starsI purchased the ergonomic acrylic crochet handle for my Mother-in-law. It came in a very nice storage case. She loves it, raving about the feel of the handle and how consistent her stitches were. I would highly recommend the ergonomic crochet handle.

5 out of 5 starsI have several plastic seam rippers, but this seam ripper is a quality item. The longer wooden handle makes it easy to hold while ripping away.

5 out of 5 starsAs always, Gayle did a perfectly beautiful job on my "Be the Change" pen. I love it and will treasure it for many, many years. It came very carefully packaged with her handwritten thank you note and a little storage pouch. You won't regret purchasing from Gayle!

5 out of 5 starsI just got my set and it came very nicely packaged with a handwritten thank you card. The handle is beautiful and fits my had very nicely. The hooks fit into the handle without any looseness or wiggle. The only thing I've found so far that's a little disappointing is the material of the hook doesn't have the slip I'm used to so it's not as easy to make the stitches. But that isn't the fault of the vender. I do love that they're in line hooks so they don't drop the yarn. I recommend Gayle and her shop completely.

5 out of 5 starsI've missed not having a letter opener after two really old ones broke. This letter opener is not only functional, but very pretty. Thanks for the great service.

5 out of 5 starsPhenomenal customer service! I asked few questions and seller responded with detailed descriptions and pics within hours. I requested a custom order and seller was able to complete in 1 week! Will only purchase my future hooks/handles from this seller!

5 out of 5 starsI direct messaged for a custom order and he answered immediately and started working on it. He updated me thoroughly through out the process to make sure it was what I wanted and once shipped it only took 2 days. Beautiful work, the crochet hook is super ergonomic and comfortable (like I wanted) :)
