Craft needed in sketchbook etc, honed repeatedly (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ketch

'craft' is the definition.
(ketch is a kind of craft)

'in sketchbook etc honed repeatedly' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'KETCH' is hidden in the letters of 'sketchbook etc honed repeatedly'.

'needed' is the link.

(Other definitions for ketch that I've seen before include "Two-masted sailing vessel" , "Small two-master sailing vessel" , "The craft" , "Two-masted sailing ship" , "Small sailing vessel with two masts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
