Reviews Summary
Visitors find Casey, Illinois, a delightful and quirky stop, especially for its collection of 'world's largest' items like the crochet hook and knitting needles.

"Casey was a fun town to get out of the car and stretch our legs at. Most of the big items are within a few blocks of each other."
Kelley
"These are amazing! They are placed in the store windows (two separate store windows for the crochet hook and knitting needels) with their guiness book certifications. My daughter and I love crocheting, so she was really excited about these and happy we got to see them even though the stores were closed. They were the trickiest for us to find, as we weren't looking in the windows initially. Love this small town or large things!"
Lindsay Sondelski
"Something near and dear to Bobbie's heart (she's really big on crochet), these did not disappoint.
The knitting needles are in the outside wall, the crochet hook is inside the business.
Now maybe she can finally crochet me a suit that is a full replica of myself, only bigger..."
