I have never come across Susan Bates hooks, must look out for them! - Thank you for your nice review which is extremely helpful for me! :) xxx Ingeborg Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08150331019725634919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206752733914342239.post-42332551148532735662017-08-29T17:52:20.479-07:002017-08-29T17:52:20.479-07:00Hello Dragonl1ly!

I do own some of the larger size Susan Bates hooks but I tried to use all the same size in my review. I am the same way with my knitting needles. I prefer at least a 5 inch needle and I love 6 inches. I too love Knit Picks and Knitters Pride, which ones are your favorites?? I love how they are interchangeable with each other which it makes it easy to grow your needle collection. I really appreciate you checking out my blog and leaving a comment.

I too have big hands, they are the only ones I can use comfortably. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of shaped hooks, they just aren't comfortable for me or I might have tried the Addi Swings. I also like a longer length needle, be it a crochet hook or a knitting needle. The Susan Bates hooks made me appreciate a longer hook. It's probably why I had such a hard time when I tried circular knitting needles for the 1st time. The needles were so short, I couldn't get comfortable working with them in my hands. I like my needles to cross my palms for a better hold, rather than having them dig into my palm. You did review my favorite Knit Picks circular needles and they are my go to needles when knitting. Nice blog, by the way, thanks. I'll be looking for it from now on. Dragonl1lyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12262564565947095904noreply@blogger.com
