So I decided that instead of using this to track the hook case project that I am never going to finish at this rate, I am going to use this “project” to keep track of which hooks I have, what sizes they are, etc. in addition to what is on my tools page.

My Favorite Yarn Craft Hooks & Needles

My Favorite Crochet Hooks
current “collection” of crochet hooks

my “go-to” Clover Amour Crochet Hook Set - nice and pointy for finicky stitches like waistcoat; soft rubber grips for ergonomics; BUT anything smaller than a G/4mm can be a literal pain (disclaimer: I also use giant “geriatric” pens for the same reason, it is a “me” thing more than anything); these are available in a much wider range than the Soft Touch (details below), from tiny steel hooks to “standard” aluminum ones and then all the way through to big plastic (I think..?) ones for super bulky/jumbo weight yarns (specifically, a 15mm is the largest I have used)

my usual “travel” crochet hooks set (Susan Bates Silvalume Crochet Hook Set) - these are a trusty staple for anytime I do not want to bring my entire “collection” of hooks with me but want to still have some extra ones in case I need to switch sizes for gauge or something (also helpful for when I unexpectedly finish a project and then pick up a skein or two wherever I am but do not want to have to buy a bunch of hooks/supplies that I already have at home aka when visiting my SO’s parents on the other side of the state)
Susan Bates foam crochet hook grips - fit 3mm-6mm hooks

Furls Odyssey Crochet Hooks (NOW DISCONTINUED ) - these are my “holy grail” hooks, the G.O.A.T. in my opinion, but they were SADLY DISCONTINUED before I was able to get a “complete set” (aka one of each size), let alone multiples of my favorite sizes, so I am back to square one for my favorite hooks :(

Clover Soft Touch Crochet Hooks - these are probably my “most used” hooks because regardless of the hook size, the plastic handles are all pretty much the same size from the teeny tiny steel hooks all the way up to the largest available, which is a J/6mm (at least according to everything I have seen); these are a bit more rounded than the Amour hooks and can be a bit “sloppy” for some sts (ie. sl sts, waistcoat st, BLO, etc.)

Susan Bates Silvalume Crochet Hooks - as aforementioned, these are a reliable staple available in both “normal” and Tunisian crochet hooks but not necessarily a favorite; definitely on the pointier and “grabbier” end of the spectrum (great for fussier sts like wsc), and they are also available with two different “ergonomic” handle options (at least for the “normal” ones)

• Bamboo Handles - I prefer these over the other ones but still not aMaZiNg
• Soft Handles - same hook but the “soft” handle is more like the “slippy” handle as your hand warms up and it starts to soften, making it frustrating especially if using any yarns that are prone to untwisting even the littlest bit

My Favorite Knitting Needles:
Knitter’s Pride Karbonz knitting needles (especially the smaller sizes for making socks - Karbonz Socks Kit)
Knitter’s Pride dreamz knitting needles - the smaller ones can be prone to breaking, especially the circulars, so be very careful (or save yourself the hassle and cough up the dough for some Karbonz instead since it will ultimately be cheaper than buying multiple sets of needles after breaking some accidentally)
ChiaoGoo Red Lace knitting needles (especially the circulars)
addi TURBO (circular) knitting needles
Clover Takumi Bamboo Knitting Needles (the rounded tips on the larger sizes are great for heavier yarns and for beginners)

Susan Bates Silvalume HandiTool - a “must-have” for repairs and/or dropped stitches
