If you are a crochet addict, then you have to have the hook to prove it. In particular, you need a hook that is not only ergonomic but also tailored to fit your personality, which adds even more excitement to your crochet time. With options like floral or abstract, these intricate hooks would be beautiful tools to keep for yourself or to give as a gift. The most interesting part about them is that they actually get more attractive with age—instead of paint that can fade, the creator uses the Millefiori technique (like Venetian glass work) on polymer clay canes cured in the oven, meaning these hooks will get shinier as hand oil is absorbed over time.
