crotchet
n 1: a sharp curve or crook; a shape resembling a hook [syn: hook]
...
4: a small tool or hook-like implement
Wait a minute - I thought the small hook-like instrument came from the French,
and was used for fashioning thread into cloth, and was spelled without a T:
crochet.
Am I mixing up two totally different words? ofTroy? Anyone?
