No, you're not seeing things. That really is a toothbrush in my kit! I use it when crocheting schnauzers to create their fluffy beards/whiskers and hairy eyebrows... but that is a post for another day!
Otherwise, I have 20 crochet hooks (I just counted) in the box and another 2 occupied with WIP's. They range from a tiny 2.5mm (which I never use, it was my grandmothers and she tended to do a lot of finer crochet like doilies) to a huge 9mm. There are wide-eyed wool needles, "thread pullers" which are generally used by sewers to pull through the threads (such as from overlocking) through the stitches to hide them and look tidier.There may be one or two random pieces of yarn in there too which quite frankly I don't know how it got there but I kinda like it so I haven't thrown them away! There is also usually a pair of scissors but they're with my ripple blanket at the moment which comes with me to work each day so I have something productive to do on my lunch breaks.
The tin itself is just a standard pencil tin I got from an New Zealand and Australian stationery store chain "Smiggle". I plan to replace this in the nearish future with something that has a clasp on it so it doesn't burst open when I drop it on the floor (which may or may not have happened several times before...).
The new ergonomic hooks that I posted about yesterday have grown on me. I guess changing hooks is a bit like buying a new wallet or handbag. It's strange at first but you soon get used to it and wonder how you ever managed with anything else!
Right, time for bed methinks :)
