Squeaky hooks?

[carime]

Not sure if this is the right place for this question so if it's not, go ahead and move it

 

I really only get to work on my projects at night after I've put the children to bed. My problem is right now I'm working on a blanket and the hook I need to use is an L and the only L I have is an acrylic one (S. Bates and I looove it). My husband FA-REEEEKS out whenever I start to work on it because the hook squeaks so badly when I pull it thru the yarn (I'm using baby coordinates--Bernat). I've tried rubbing a dryer sheet on it and it works for like 3 stitches then it starts squeaking again.

 

It's driving me nuts and I really want to finish this blanket!! Any suggestions for stopping the squeak?!

 

TIA

polish the hook with bees wax

Try a wood hook.

For me, it does that when the oils from my hands get on it. Maybe try washing your hands and cleaning the hook

umm it might not be the hook but the yarn..

 

if you dont have beeswax jsut rub the hook with waxed paper and keep a small piece handy
