[tweety256]

I just counted out all my crochet hooks I have 98

 

5 are double ended with cables

5 are double ended

5 are afghan

8 Bamboo

4 red heart crystalites large (l, m, n, p)

4 plastic

13 Susan Bates Steel

26 Boye Steel

8 Susan Bated Aluminum

20 Boye Aluminum

 

I never noticed how many I have

[boo1]

I would say that 98 is a lot.

 

But you NEED them.

[joyfulyarn]

Wow! Quite a collection! (I've always wanted a bamboo hook...lol )

[texasredhead]

:clap YOU WIN!!! :clap

:woo

[alibra]

I never took the time to count how many hooks I have, but there are a lot of them...does it count if you inherited some..lol!

[The_Virginia_Hooker]

I'm not worthy

[TonkaMama]

Oh--my--gosh!! How do you keep them all organized?! Very impressive!

[ErinLindsey]

I have about 150.

 

Most are Susan Bates.

 

One is a Brittany

 

One is homemade, and a serious antique. (pretty sure my great-grandfather made it for my great-grandmother)

 

I have 5 other hooks that I dont consider part of my working collection. I consider them retired hooks. They belonged to my paternal grandmother. 3 very small hooks for thread crochet, one Boye hook, and one hook that might be a Susan Bates, but it's been used so much that the name wore off

[DreamsOfYarn]

WOW!! 98 & 150. I'm impressed

 

And I thought my collection of 60 was big :lol

Most of mine are Boye. I will be adding to my collection when I get a set of thread hooks. I only have 2 right now, but I want to do more thread work, so I need more hooks.

[niqita]

You'll never be without a

[01buckler15]

WOW! I think I have about 10, no more than 15 though.

 

Looks like I better get started on my hook stash!

[crazycrochet]

I thought 35 was a lot, you girls take the prize!

[ErinLindsey]

For some reason I have more size "I" hooks than any other (it's my favorite size)...after that it's "K" and "J" hooks.

 

I learned how to knit a year ago. I think I have about 12 pairs of knitting needles...most of them size 8's. (think that's the same size as "I" in crochet) and almost all of my knitting needles are circulars...I think I have 4 pairs of straights, and two sets of dpn's.

 

I think I just like to collect crochet and knitting accessories.

 

I wish I could afford to buy the fancy ones that people sell on eBay.

[frogsrock]

you could do with more

 

im not sure how many i have... a lot of them are stolen from grandmom though

i cant easily count them because i keep them with their wip

[lhasaapsolady]

I just counted what was in my drawer and in my glass container. Counting my regular alluminum hooks, steel thread hooks, double ended hooks, afghan hooks, wooden hooks and antique hooks I have 220, plus I probably have a few more stuck in various projects. I think I am a bit overboard on the hooks, but there are at least 50 of them that were my great aunts, and she can't crochet any more.

I though 98 was bad But then again I did just bid a set of (I think) 8 bamboo hooks off ebay. I have a bad I travle with that I keep one set in and now that I have a craft room I want a set for there too.

Intervention, anyone?

Where did you get your double ended and the double ended with cables? I can't find any anywhere. I am trying to learn to crochet with those and I have one double ended hook but would love to have more.

[Debbi-a1]

I never counted, but I don't think I have that many. I usually have them with WIPs so I doubt I'll ever know:blush . When I e-mailed walmart to keep their yarn and hooks (don't think it mattered) I mentioned I buy a hook often (at their prices it's pretty reasonable to do so). I did that when I was working on an squares afghan, used a G hook and I know I bought 1 book and maybe 2 G hooks to keep with the ongoing project. I also have a few I found at a thrift store (for 99 cents) that have the original price on it, engraved by the hook size, some say 35 cents, some say 40 cents... I use those, they're not of sentimental value and still in great condition.

dang! I thought I had a lot!

[ankey]

wow, and I have trouble just keeping track of the 7 crochet hooks I have (all aluminum)...

[paperflowers]

WOW. I have two sets and still don't have anywhere near that many. I bought the hookmaster set and inherited a makeup bag of grandma's hooks.

I bought them off the internet. I can try to find the sight later for you

[shuttlebuggy]

:eek ;)

I know the feeling! I just had to sort thru a bunch of mine and let my girlfriend and her 2 crocheting daughters have at the extras and doubles I could part with - it was just toooo many!

I feel like I scaled down a bit but I still know I have quite the needle and hook stash!

[Ellie 13]

I have the 1st hook I owned from my grandmother, a set (B - K) that my mom gave me when I was 10 (11?), 2 sets athat were prizes in crochet contests (never used), My great grandmother's doily hooks (2 bone , 1 ivory) , and an assortment I've colected over the years. I never counted but it might 05-75. I donated a couple dozen recently.
