lets say you're stranded on an island made of yarn

[shadow]

The same size I am using right now...an F.

[hookdonU]

an I hook

[miller3602]

E or F

[Addey]

G is my favorite for baby afghans for Project Linus because fewer 'holes' are better for those. Since, that's what I make most, G would be my answer.

I'll take anything between a G and a K though really. I'm not a big fan of N or above, to bulky in my hands.

G hook here

[dazzleaireisafondmemory]

The older I get the bigger my hook gets as arthritis hurts less with a larger hook. At least for me that proves true. I like an I the best and my afghan patterns usually take an H or I hook anyway.

[01buckler15]

What a great question!

I have been using an H hook most often lately. So right now I would have to say H. But I use a lot of F or G when making toys. So I guess it depends on what I was into making at the time that I got stranded.

[Dragonflymomof2]

I would want the H hook

[tlisley]

Wow, tough question! I think I have to go with an "H" but given a second choice it would be a "K"... such a tough call!

[hayhook]

H-for me too!

[cherishedc]

Almost picked a G hook, but have to admit I use J most often.

#1 choice..... H (32)

#2 choice..... G (16)

#3 choice..... F (9)

#4 choice..... J (8)

#5 choice..... I (6)

#6 choice..... K (5)

#7 choice..... E (1)

 

I would have guessed H for #1, but was totally wrong for the rest.....

In fact i was surprized that N's didn't show since I (being a crochet dummy) thought that size hook would be pretty universal. But that's just me.

Note that I only counted the first choices where there was an option (eg H or I)

 

Lets keep it going and see if this order holds up.

 

Pretty interesting eh? I wonder if the big hook makers know this kind of info... or maybe the Ville otta sell it to them and make a little extra dough for the cause?

 

oh wait... they probably read this and now they already know. Oh well, there's still the auction....

[jimbo]

just thought i'd bump this since it dropped off after last night when i posted the above results.

I'd still like to get more numbers..... hint hint

[loopy1]

On an island full of yarn...I'd assume it's worsted weight so I'd choose an

I

to make lots of afghan squares! That makes it 7 for the I's.

 

[Wrennie]

If it's an island of that really big thick chunky yarn I love a superfast P! Sugar n creme or worsted I usually use my pink one. Now what the heck is the letter??? G, it's a G.

[Kelle]

G for me, please

 

~k

[IdleHands]

G

[gramof11]

A island of yarn...better make it a smaller one because I want to crochet tightly so I don't sink. I want a G

[Addey]

Interesting results. I am kinda surprised there weren't more K and above votes myself. I don't enjoy anything above a K much, but I know there are tons of afghan patterns for them. If making clothes, I wouldn't want much above a J because then the fabric get too loose and holey for my tastes...

[tamugrad02]

I would pick a H or I hook, those are the two I use the most.....

 

Where is this island of yarn? I need to be banished to it......

[Ankh]

G for me NiYa

[jollyrancher418]

I...definitely I.

[luv_crochet]

Only 1 hook , why I would have never left the house with less than 4. But I guess it would definately be a "G" hook if I could only have 1.

[Yaviiniia Loenla Enath]

H, I guess. But would it be cheating to make a hook that has two ends of different hook sizes?

[jigglypuff]
