[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Want To Know Wednesday 9/5/18

Thu Sep 6 13:39:08 UTC 2018

I like the Clover crochet hooks.  They're quite short, maybe as long as my
hand or less.  They have a metal hook, which goes into a flattish piece.  I
guess other people hold it by the flat piece, which seems shaped for fingers
to grasp, but I hold the hook, closer to my work.  I find them much more
comfortable to hold, maybe because the part that's behind my fingers is
bigger and fits better in my hand.

For knitting I love the bamboo needles but only have a few sets of straight
ones as I found I could not afford them. I have recently been introduced to
the Denise Knitting Needles which I have come to love. I wish they came in
sizes from 0 to 4, but truth be told most knitting I will do will fall
between size 5 and 15. I have one original set, and have purchased some
extra cords and ends of needles. I also have a set that is just sizes five
through nine. 

Tracy, do the ones you love, the Addiclick require a key, and if so, where
do you stick the key into?

I have been told that Denise makes a plastic set of crochet hooks which I
will try. I love the plastic because I have a cyst in my hand which hurts if
the needles are too heavy, thus I try to stay away from most metal.

I am not very brand specific when it comes to, well pretty much anything. I
do have a set of crochet hooks that are ergonomic and they came in a case so
I can keep them all in order by size. I love the set was not too expensive
and bought at Walmart a few years ago by my husband for me for Christmas. So
I would say those are my favorite crafting thing I have.

Thank you,
