Crochet hooks
Thank you for your welcome. I bought a new crochet hook "Susan Bates" steel number 8, and when I brought it home I discovered that it was a lot lighter in weight than the older ones I had. I will cherish my old steel hooks as they are what I am use to and seem better made. I am still looking for good steel crochet hook brand that makes hooks like they did in years past.

NancyR, welcome and you will find that someone on here will know exactly where to look for the best hooks. My sweet little puppy stole my old hook and I had to replace it with an ergonomic one that I had and it changed how I crochet from a pencil grip to a knife grip. Makes my carpal tunnel a little angier but I will get used to it. I am in crochet hell with a Spiderman afghan for my grown son so I had to replace the hook immediately. I am almost done now it looks like I am running out of black yarn! Holey moley I will be glad when I get this done.

Hi twinfaye, I hope you find your hook. Most of my crochet hooks I have had since the early sixties. The best part of starting a project is the day you finish the project. I just finished a queen size afghan for my grown son too. Good luck with your Spiderman afghan.
