OF COURSE I WAS! I love to crochet and having an extra set of my favorite sizes is super handy. <\/p>\n<p>This is the <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1NpQ2g8\" target=\"_blank\">Haven for Hands Ergonomic Crochet Hook set<\/a>, now available on Amazon at a GREAT price! <\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/22455001834\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"hooks01\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/665\/22455001834_0ccff77290_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" alt=\"hooks01\"><\/a><BR><BR><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/23064170792\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"hooks02\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5626\/23064170792_f0ffd6130e_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" alt=\"hooks02\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The set comes with nine hooks that have a super comfy grip. The sizes included are from 2.0 &#8211; 6.0 mm in 0.5 mm increments. You&#8217;ll notice 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 mm (US B, C, and D) are actually different from regular conversion charts, but that didn&#8217;t bother me because now I have sizes that fit between my others. It broadens my crochet reach.<\/p>\n<p>The set also includes a retractable tape measure, a pair of folding scissors with serrated edges, and 10 plastic stitch markers. Everything fits nicely in a roll-up cloth carrying case. There are two colors options to choose from on Amazon! It is perfect for throwing in your purse, when you know you&#8217;re going to start a project away from home.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/23064168682\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"hooks09\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/658\/23064168682_021f69b6f3_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" alt=\"hooks09\"><\/a><BR><BR><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/22659421967\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"hooks06\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5729\/22659421967_a481d7083c_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" alt=\"hooks06\"><\/a><BR><BR><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/23088992911\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"hooks08\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/572\/23088992911_1b594d5297_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" alt=\"hooks08\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had these for a few months, so I feel like I can give you a fully-formed opinion. <\/p>\n<p>First up, the handles are GREAT! They have just the right amount of squish for a grip. The part closest to the hook is firm enough for my style of crochet hold, while the bottom tip is flexible for resting in my palm. <\/p>\n<p>Second, The metal hooks are super smooth and glide beautifully through yarn. The hook is pointy without being overly stabby, which is what I like! <\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/23064161372\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"hooks03\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/702\/23064161372_c2e7b4a0ee_b.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"957\" alt=\"hooks03\"><\/a><BR><BR><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/22454991604\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"hooks05\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/680\/22454991604_db0d04e791_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" alt=\"hooks05\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Look at those colors! The engraved sizes are a great detail. You don&#8217;t ever have to worry about smudging the text.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, these hooks work really well and are a great addition to my collection. I&#8217;ve already lost and found a few in my couch. I consider that a rite of passage for all my craft tools. <\/p>\n<p>Check out Haven for Hands around the web:<br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B017X17TJS\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B017X17TJS&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=goodknits-20&#038;linkId=OT5EG3NWYJRRHXC7\" target=\"_blank2\">Amazon<\/a><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=goodknits-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B017X17TJS\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/havenforhands\" target=\"_blank2\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/havenforhands\" target=\"_blank2\">Twitter<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.havenforhands.com\/\" target=\"_blank2\">HavenForHands.com<\/a><\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgoodknits.com%2Fblog%2F2016%2F01%2F24%2Fhaven-for-hands-crochet-hook-review%2F&media=http%3A%2F%2Fgoodknits.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F01%2F06.jpg&description=Haven+for+Hands+rainbow+crochet+hook+set+review+on+goodknits%21\" class=\"pin-it-button\" count-layout=\"horizontal\">Pin It<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disclaimer: Haven for Hands sent me a set of hooks to review.
