[Nfb-krafters-korner] crochet hooks: was Crochet and knitting items seen while away on a recent trip

[David F]

Does anyone know where one can get a crochet hook that is more rounded than
pointed.  I have seem nice heavy ones and cheap looking aluminum ones with
pointed hook ends. I can't explain, but that point always hurt my fingers
back when  I was still feebly trying to learn this skill.

Okay, thanks.  I've done both methods, especially for those extra hooks I've
accumulated.
