Having finished my scarf and hat (all but blocking and fringing) I decided to brush up on my (very limited) crochet skills. I have a kit to make a small blanket, which seems to be a good place to start. Last night I was trying to find a crochet hook in the right size on Amazon and ended up completely swamped by what was on offer.
I have only used the ordinary (probably) Milward grey metal ones before, and have been quite happy with them. Now, though, there are lots and lots of hooks with handles made of wood or plastic. Do any of you use these, and do you find them good? I'm reluctant to change from something I'm happy with, but don't wan to miss out if there's something better!
Also, what are the good brands of crochet hook. I use (and love) Knitpro knitting needles, but the few Knitpro crochet hooks I found on Amazon didn't seem to be pointy enough to me - but the pictures weren't very good.
Oh, and I found a crochet hook of the right size in the end - Pony, beech, no handle - one had been supplied with the blanket kit!
