My favorite hooks are generally the simple plastic inline style but I’m always up for trying out different hooks to see if I might like it better. When I found the Kollage Square Crochet Hooks at Yarnmarket they were like nothing I’d ever seen before, I was intrigued. I guess Kollage started this idea with square wood knitting needles that are apparently easier on the hands than typical round needles. I can’t speak for those as I don’t knit enough to know but the hooks are definitely NOT easier on the hands.
I thought maybe it was time I bought myself a really nice hook… but it’s not a nice hook. It’s a simple metal hook glued into a square rosewood handle… crookedly! I had a hard time taking a photo that showed this but the hook part leans off to one side. Definitely not a hook that should have cost nearly $13 (way more than I’ve ever spent on a single hook)! It’s also really uncomfortable to crochet with… but, you know, that’s the risk you take buying stuff from the couch…
But check it out if you dare…
