>> Hello Deb,
>> I'm blinder than a bat I'm afraid. I have all my hooks rubber-banded
>> together and touch the ends to see which hook is which. I may mistake
>> an H hook for an I, or an F for a G, but I can get pretty close to
>> knowing which hook is which by feeling the hook's size. After all, one
>> needs to swatch for many projects so it doesn't matter much which hook
>> you have as long as you can get the gauge.
>> I know that some folks have their hooks very organized, in a special
>> case for them, placed in order of size. if I were using crochet hooks
>> regularly I would probably have an organized system for myself.
>>
>> As for the metrics, I simply look it up online. Takes just a moment on
>> google.
