Dodo's Designs

Crochet hooks are not all equal. There are several brands as well as types of hooks. The most well known are probably the metal hooks that are mass produced and sold in local craft shops. The more difficult to find are wood hooks. And believe me when I tell you that all hooks are not created equal. I have used several different types of wood hooks. I first started using wood hooks when I realized my hands were aching from the coldness of the metal hooks. The plastic ones were easily broken. Some of the wood hooks (including bamboo) were difficult to use due to not being properly sanded. Once the hook developed a nice patina (smoothness) they were easy to use but this takes several hours and many projects before they will slide as nicely as a metal hook. The hook I purchased from Dodo's Design is the most beautiful, smooth (from the start) and masterfully created hook I have EVER used. Not only is it beautiful, but it is handcrafted by a true artist. The hooks are handpainted after carving and have the smoothest finish I have found. I received many gepliments on my hook as well as where to buy. I have told 10 people just last night. I purchased several more hooks from this seller just today. These hooks are ideal for everyone, but especially for those of us with arthritis or those who are sensitive to the cold. My fingers used to go numb from the cold and my hands would ache. Not with wooden hooks. And these are the finest I have ever found. This is an item worth every penny! And considering the years of use you will get from it, it truelly is just pennies. This is something that could easily begee an heirloom. I regemend this seller and their product to everyone who has a joy in fine products. They also make hairpins and knitting needles. With the masterpiece you create that takes hours, why wouldn't you create it with a beautiful work of art. These make excellent gifts for the crafter in your life as well. They gee well packaged and displayed in their own giftbox. I will be giving some to friends and collect my own as well. You will not be disappointed!
