Like many of you, I’m sure, I’m a member of a number of different crochet-related groups on Facebook. One question that I see frequently is “What crochet hook should I buy?” Plenty of suggestions get thrown about, but very few responses reflect the reality of choosing a hook… the real answer is, “it depends.” We can all share our favorite hooks, but honestly, choosing the right hook is really more of a question of choosing the right hook FOR YOU! There are many different types and styles of crochet hooks out there, and not every style or type works for every crocheter. Let’s take a look at so ..read more

Starting a new crochet project is exciting for so many reasons. It’s the opportunity to carve out a little “me” time as you get to create something new. You are also able to enjoy artistic journey of picking out yarn types and colors to make the new creation unique to you.
