Hi Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you and your family. How is everyone doing? My dog, Red, died on Dec. 18 while having surgery. Today is the first day I have cried. I was with him and then got to hold him for a long time. I really miss him We still have Molly and she is pretty good being the only dog. Take care, Susan. I think of you often and you are always in my prayers. Hugs, Shelly

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dog. I have two dogs myself and they are my babies. I know I would be lost without them. My black lab stood by my side when I fell one day until my boyfriend came. Then he barked at him to let him know that something was wrong. He is my hero. Both of them have stayed very close to me everyday since then. I have had other dogs and it always hurt when something happened to them. I have always believed that we will see our pets again when we go home to be with the Lord.

i've wondered about that myself. it's like the chicken or the egg...i just got a new batch of yarn from an online site and so far used some of two different brands, both 3 ply light for baby clothes. both seem to split easily and one brand came out of the skein looking 'split' in sections already.

i try to crochet fairly loose myself...but i have to pay attention as my stitches seem to get tighter as i go along...i've made many an 'hour glass' afghan in my time..lol but i don't crochet as tightly as i have seen others do. i'd love to try the bamboo hooks but haven't seen any deals like you came across. glad to know they are good hooks, incase i find some i can afford. my most difficult type of yarn is the 'eyelash'. i was given quite a few skeins last year from my sister who knitts, but i find it horrible to work with so they sit in a bag.

Haven't seen plastic SB hooks. Mine are metal. I bet I would break plastic ones also-I am heavy handed!

Maybe the larger hooks would be too heavy if they were steel??

The crochet hooks I have are probably aluminum not stainless steel.
