Also a lot of knitting needles that belonged to my M.I.L. so DH was pleased they were able to be used again.

I found one hook..a size K that is so freaking heavy I doubt if it got used much at all. I wouldn't be surprised to find it is made with steel...like the small steel hooks. I enjoy Bates hooks best and if I need a buillion stitch..I use a Susan bates for that..her hooks are all inline.

You always inspire me with your lovely photos and beautiful projects. <br /><br />How are the double points for making socks? I have wooden ones and like those better than the metal, only because the yarn won't slip as easily off...do you have the issue, too? <br /><br />Sending hugs and many blessings to you dear friend.

My first choice is the Etimo hooks - just beautiful to use. I've also tried the KnitPro ones and they're lovely to use too. Clover Arthritic hooks are another that are a dream to use. I'm ashamed to say that I have a few pairs of knitting needles that are actually tortoise shell --- and there's no way I'd ever part with them. Poor tortoise and I do agree with the ban to use their shells for knitting needles but they are nice to use and I've had mine forever and .... I'm just trying to think up excuses aren't I ? xoxoxDorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237217955755971642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865022255438031627.post-13593222800624539052013-02-01T00:39:50.535-08:002013-02-01T00:39:50.535-08:00Those are so unusual and beautiful.

After trying the common aluminum and acrylic hooks and needles I tried wooden ones and fell in love with them.

Maybe for a Christmas gift sometime? I do have lots of the tiny silver hooks that belonged to my Grandma. I use those to make doilies. But my favorite hook is my plain old blue Susan Bates "H" hook. It's the one I learned to crochet with 46 years ago and I still use it more than any other hook.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865022255438031627.post-46475811726713998972013-01-31T15:42:24.942-08:002013-01-31T15:42:24.942-08:00Teresa, What a lovely collection of beautiful croc...Teresa, What a lovely collection of beautiful crochet hooks, also unique .
