To Trade or To Keep — Cars
Initially bought a set for trades, but the kids liked them so much that they ended up keeping them. I don't blame them either for not wanting to trade these. They're cute pins, and each pin is a good size.

Pointed vs Blunt. Good for tight crocheting.
It seems most other brands follow the same mold as Boye’s rounded, blunt hooks. I can’t stand using those types because I tend to crochet tight vs loose, and rounded tips don’t work well with my tighter stitches. That’s why Susan Bates is my preference. Susan Bates hooks have a pointed tip which is extremely helpful when crocheting into my tight stitches. It doesn’t fish around my stitches like the rounded tip hooks do. With Susan Bates pointed tip hooks, I’m able to get into my stitches without the hook sliding around on my work. These hooks are very precise. The streamlined throat design helps by directing the yarn exactly where it needs to go (directly to the tip) with no effort on my part. Giving the flow of my work consistency. In other words, I’m able to keep crocheting at my speed, because there’s no “dragging” of the yarn across the hook like I’ve experienced with other brands.
