You've seen them in magazines. Now, give 'em a try. Your wrists and fingers with thank you! Available as straight, circular, double-pointed needles. Crochet hooks are made with a comfortable rosewood handle. My customers advise they really do work and they make your stitches look incredibly even and pleasing. A particular fave are the dpns for sock knitters. These needles are listed by 'old' and 'new' type, but the 'old' ones are newly stocked. They are slowly changing over from the old version to the newer.
