Are your Clover ones the 'soft-touch' ones with different coloured handles? If so, how does the soft handle stand up to frequent use? <br /><br />I have been put off the 'soft touch' plastic compound because I was once given a teapot with a handle of similar 'soft touch' compound and it perished and went gummy - a sticky mess. <br /><br />My most used aluminium hooks have hard plastic handles and were made by Pony. They are light, smooth and easy to hold in the pencil or knife position so I can swap holds. For natural fibres, my bamboo hooks are light and comfortable but they don't have handles.<br /><br />Clover make a lot of good quality products. I have never been unhappy with anything I've purchased of that brand so I hope that your hooks continue to give good service with long-lasting handles. Do you have anything on your hook(s) at the moment, or just knitting on the go?<br /><br />Here's to a new year of happy crocheting and crafting. :-)Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-36388200108135320472017-01-02T05:45:02.139+10:302017-01-02T05:45:02.139+10:30Hooray you found your hook.

My favorite hooks are Clover. They have a bit of a handle that make them easier to hold onto. Happy Crocheting and Happy New Year.Mereknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596140300034854370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-89044438091698701772016-12-30T20:57:04.415+10:302016-12-30T20:57:04.415+10:30So we need to put stitch holders on your Christmas...So we need to put stitch holders on your Christmas and birthday lists so you can liberate the needles or just have multiple sets of them. Any excuse to collect knitting paraphernalia? ;-) I'm wondering whether you will be knitting at NYE and now I am thinking about getting a crochet project organised for NYE (planning a quiet one this year). Have fun, Mary-Anne xxJodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-44716997613521073322016-12-30T06:21:13.380+10:302016-12-30T06:21:13.380+10:30Glad you found what you were looking for.

It always seems that whatever hook or needle I need at the moment I don't have because a wip is already using it! lol.Breathing Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02482981001235740285noreply@blogger.com
