I grabbed a couple of bigger sized pens (the ones you can take apart) and was messing around with them and low and behold I found one that fit my size 7 /1.65mm needle.....WOW!!! So just fyi you can use those pens that have the soft squishy stuff at the front of the pen so your hands won't hurt so badly. Thank you for the great idea and I hope you too find a great pen too.<br />Thanks for sharingMissDinTexashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17216034764716213192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-498281580416888164.post-88411131757931347402014-02-23T10:55:39.169-05:002014-02-23T10:55:39.169-05:00I can't wait to try this.I can't wait to try this.jeanettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-498281580416888164.post-77344898120035911722013-01-01T19:33:37.516-05:002013-01-01T19:33:37.516-05:00thank you for this.

I got my hubby to drill out some small wooden beads to fix on the end of my bog standard metal hooks as I found the flat end got quite uncomfortable when hooking for an evening. The round end makes such a difference. I've tried the Clover japanese hooks but find I have to keep stretching out my hand - I think the're made a little short or unbalanced. Your idea looks great and so pretty!

I've been doing a bit more crocheting lately and I noticed that if I was using hooks other than my bamboo handled ones that I seem to "poke" myself with them especially the smaller gauge hooks. Sounds crazy, but the rounded ends are more comfortable and that is doable with the polymer handles. I just might try that although I've never used it before. Thanks for the idea.Sharon Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178652815840919077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-498281580416888164.post-23023973137977269462011-02-10T20:11:20.595-05:002011-02-10T20:11:20.595-05:00Thanks ladies. :)
