Crochet hooks I really enjoy
I love these hooks. They're sleek, and feel nice in the hand. I'm replacing all my Boye hooks with these.
Susan Bates® Soft Ergonomic™ Crochet Hook Set, G-K
These hooks have a nice sharp end. I have seen people crochet into zippers to make crocheted purses and pouches. It’s amazing to witness, especially since they’re plastic, but they are durable!
A great set to have, especially if you’re a tight croch...
Prym Ergonomic Small Size Crochet Hook Set
This is the larger set, and just like the smaller set I’ve shared, these hooks also have a nice sharp tip, are made of a plastic material, and are overall very comfortable to hold.
Great if you have tight tension!

Loom bracelet supplies
The clips suck, I threw them away, I prefer the C-clasps or the claw clasps, and the tool sucks too, but it does the job in a pinch.
The reason why I’m sharing this is the bands themselves are great, especially for the price. They’re really durable,...
