The Crochet Lite Crochet Hooks-Size F 4.0mm

I purchsed this item primarily because I could not find anything else like it in any store.I wanted a thicker body to the hook so that i would be able to grip it better, and let me tell you it does that and so much more. The easiness to hold helps me with my form and helps me work faster.I would recommend this. Actually want to purchse the rest, which i don't use as often.

I find these crochet hooks to be very useful. Whomever came up with the idea it was a good one, not just for those with visual impairment, but also great for low lit areas.

Loved it. I went ahead and bought a whole set. The lift really helps on dark colors ....

I recently taught myself to crochet, and, even though I'm only in my 30s, I found that, after just 1 1/2 to 2 hours of active crocheting, my hand would start to cramp up, making it very difficult to comfortably crochet. I decided to head out to my local manly craft store ( ;) ) to pick up a few of the "comfort" crochet hooks. Got there, looked at those, and noticed that, for whatever crazy reason, the store was discontinuing carrying The Crochet Lite, and had all of their sizes on clearance for half the price of retail. Looking at The Crochet Lite hooks, and comparing them to the comfort-style crochet hooks, The Crochet Lite won, hands-down. The handle on The Crochet Lite is made to be just as comfortable as that found on comfort crochet hooks, and the head of the hook looked to me to be pretty much the same length, but the head of The Crochet Lite illuminates! Now that's just COOL! HAD to have 'em!I practiced restraint, and only bought about three of what the craft store had left in stock, took 'em home, and opened one up for a test run. Needless to say, it was instant love! I headed back out the very next day to buy all of the rest of The Crochet Lite hooks that they had in stock, and mailed the duplicates that I could force myself to part with, to crocheting friends and family as gifts. They loved them just as much as I do! After only being able to get a few of these locally, I had to have the rest of The Crochet Lite hooks that are available - as others have said in their reviews - and purchased more online. I also decided that, precious as they are to me, I wanted a pouch to protect them in, so I sewed one up that holds them just as I like.Now that I've got each of the nine hooks in the collection -  The Crochet Lite Crochet Hooks-Size C 2.5mm , The Crochet Lite Crochet Hooks-Size D 3.0mm , The Crochet Lite Crochet Hooks-Size E 3.5mm , The Crochet Lite Crochet Hooks-Size F 4.0mm , The Crochet Lite Crochet Hooks-Size G 4.5mm , The Crochet Lite Crochet Hooks-Size H 5.0mm , The Crochet Lite Crochet Hooks-Size I 5.5mm , The Crochet Lite Crochet Hooks-Size J 6.0mm , The Crochet Lite Crochet Hooks-Size K 6.5mm , Knit Lite Battery Replacement  (same batteries are used for all hooks and needles) - I am a happy crocheting camper. The only thing I'd like more than my ownership of the nine Crochet Lite hooks available? Ownership of more sizes of them! Looking at how they're made, and the clear acrylic of the heads, I can understand that Widget Products wouldn't be too keen to try to make smaller sizes in acrylic - they'd probably have to opt for glass, or something much stronger that would undoubtedly bump up the price of these, especially considering how dainty the 2.5mm hook looks and feels (I have mine nested in the very center of my roll-up hook pouch, for fear of it breaking). For larger sizes, Widget Products would probably have to create a new, larger shaft for those heads, as opposed to using the same handle (albeit in different colors), as is currently used for all of the existing Crochet Lite hooks they make.Regardless of whether or not Widget Products opts to make more sizes in The Crochet Lite, I am a very happy camper, and get much joy out of the comfortable handle, the bright LED light, and the variety of sizes of these great crochet hooks! SO the best hooks I own for my new addiction!

I've been crocheting for over 40 years and I think I've tried every hook made. I now have rheumatoid arthritis that makes holding most hooks very uncomfortable. Not so with the Crochet Lites. Not only is the plastic used in the casing warmer and softer than the metal hooks, but the shape is perfect for someone who has trouble closing their fingers. Like an earlier reviewer said - I just wish there were some way of designing this handle (with the wonderful light) for the smaller, steel hooks.

The hook is just fine, but it didn't really help much when I was using it on dark yarn. I haven't tried using it in a dark environment to see if that is better. The hook is also sized one size to small, but I had read that in other reviews so I ordered smaller hooks to get the actual size I wanted.

Light is very bright so no problems there. Might even be too bright for some people. But it's pretty cool and a great idea. Will probably get more in different sizes.

I bought one of these at first and have now purchased all sizes available.They are great to use in low light and/or with dark yarns. They don't really help any in decent light with light yarn, but that's not what they're made for.They are Sooooooooo comfortable to use with the larger, non-slip place to hold. What I noticed right off is that the "business end" is a little short. I guess I use more of the hook than I thought. At first, I kept hitting the handle. I did get used to it quite quickly, though, and no longer do that. If you do a lot of roll stitches, it probably wouldn't be a good idea.The other issue, which isn't one as long as you realize it, is that the sizes are not true. If you need a size I, for example, order a size H; for size H, order size G. Unfortunately, they don't come larger than size J. Hopefully, the company will expand its line.Overall, I'm really happy with them and would buy more sizes if they were available. I only gave a 4-star rating because of the short usable shank and the limitation of sizes available.
