>> HI all:
>> I'm currently using a aluminum crochet hook and have heard there are
>> various types out there to try during our beginners class this past week.
>> The aluminum one I use constantly slips and I was wondering what types of
>> hooks do you prefer? I looked at Wal-mart and couldn't find plastic or
>> bamboo crochet hooks.
>> Thanks for any suggestions
