:manyheartBAMBOO HOOKS!

 

My new Crochet friend sue and I finally got together 2nd time after we met for our first crochet meet almost a month ago. for 2 weeks we couldn't get together because one week she was sick.. then i ended up sick the next. and so last week her and i met for coffee and she wanted me to show her how to do a ripple.. as she was having a hard time.

 

but she had suprise for me and it was a Dangle bamboo hook!.. im IN LOVE .... It's so smooth and feels so nice in my hand... I love it so much I went to eknittingneedles.com and bought me 3 regular bamboo hooks. (and 3 for her :) Now next month Im buying a Tunisian Dangle hook i found on ebay. or mabey a entire set of bamboo hooks!!!

They r simply The best hooks She also gave me the cutest lil hook tip things shpe like booties... it comes in handy when im doing my tunisian with my new bamboo hook. i can snap it on my tip an i dont have to worrie bout stiches slipping off my hook!

 

just had to share. It's one of my fav hooks next to the 3 bamboo handle alum tip one's shana gave me for the color swap!!

 

Then I finaly got to putting a Crochet club add up on our freecycle and got 3 responses so we will be having our first Meet as a group sometime next week!!!!

My coworker just got done telling me about Bamboo Hooks. I'm not good enough to use them yet, but when I am, that will be my hook of choice. He raves about them. What a coincidence.

This is the way I feel about my Jimbo hooks! Two C'ville members gifted me with Jimbo hooks about a year ago, and I just love them so much! I finally asked Jimbo to make a hook in size N just for me to use on the shawls each month, and then DH told me to bid as high as I had to in order to win the gabon ebony hook that Jimbo just auctioned off as my Valentine's gift! I won the hook and received it yesterday, and it's just GORGEOUS!!!! I now have Jimbo hooks in size H, I, N and K! I NEVER thought I would have that many, but I now have them in each of the sizes that I use the most!

 

Enjoy your bamboo hooks! Once you find the hook that you consider to be "your" hook, it's so much more enjoyable working on projects!

I am itching to try a bamboo hook! None of my local shops carry them so I may just have to break down and buy one online.

I'd like to give a shout out to ekniitingneedles.com. I had tried Bates bamboo hooks and didn't love them---or their price. Bought set of 12 from this website at a great price along with a set of 12 Tunisian hooks. Love them. There was a problem with the order which they corrected promptly and generously. Impressed with service and quality and pricing. Give them a try!
