Hooked to the Left Crochet
United States
Приєднався 24 кві 2020
You have reached Hooked to the Left on UA-cam. My name is Melanie and I have been crocheting for about 20 years.
I find this hobby to be one of the best for DIY projects, relaxation, and getting back to the roots of home and hearth. I tried gardening first - I wasn't so good at that, so crochet it was!!
My favorite projects are the ones that are practical and require less complicated stitches. While I love beautiful stitch work, I find I am drawn to colors and the coziness of an item more than the intricacies of it.
If you want to know more about me, please follow me on the different networks below.
I love connecting with like-minded people, so please don't hesitate to reach out to me at hookedtotheleft(at)Gmail(dot)com. Or - just follow me on Twitter or Instagram and reach out to me in the DMs

Pretty yarn 💗
I am a pencil grip and I'd take the clover any day. That little nub you're talking about does absolutely nothing! I have one tulip that I bought because it's the only way I could get a size 7, but I keep my hooks in a box and the different colors really help finding the correct hook! Also, the imprinted sizes are unlikely to wear off, like the Boye ergonomic set that I bought a long time ago did.
I tried the Lion Brand bamboo hook and I am in complete agreement with you about it. I'm sure there are much better quality bambook hooks out there, but that particular brand I would not recommend. I am a "knifer" as well.
I got this book last year for Christmas and have not made anything from it, yet. I tried making the sorting hat, but there are terms that I am not familiar with and I got very confused, so I frogged it and have not tried again.
I got the tulips because of the color xD I didnt wanted colorful hooks
Clover gets my vote. I just got the 7 mm - 15mm larger ones. Love them! A pleasure to work with 🥳
I prefer the regular, Susan Bates hooks over the ergonomic ones.
He is so cute your cat.
Wow, missing the point on the reviews…I’m a dolly and lace crocheter and besides confort I’m looking for overall stitch finishing…none of your reviews touched on the mate finished of the stitch…too shallow of a review.
Had a set of Tulips for 5 years now. No problem at all with the size label. It looks as fresh as the day I bought them.
Pretty sure the holes are used to determine hook/needle size. Particularly helpful if they're not labled. Cute kit, love the scissors! But I found a few (empty) cases cheaper, so I'll probably get a few of thise instead... or crochet one lol.
Darker green's my favorite color too lol not a fan of the bright shades either!
Love the colors and texture of this yarn, I look at them longingly every time I go to Walmart LOL! I'm trying to FINISH my projects before I get into another... the ONLY reason I haven't bought any yet. Seriously need to destash! 🤣😂
Clover Amour hun... like the French word for love. Sounds like ahm-more. There's only an R at the end. Super cool that you're a leftie! There's so many lefties that struggle with learning to crochet, it's nice to see someone using the other hand. Totally going to check out your other videos.💕 I really like that you showed the hooks from both the front and profile perspectives. Clover looks like it leans slightly more towards an inline from the profile view, with the Tulip extending a smidge further. I'm a big fan of Susan Bates hooks, so that (and also the smooth glide and price point) really appeals to me. Since my stitches are tight, sometimes I struggle with the enlarged head of the Boye style of inline hooks. I do like them when I want a looser stitch though. Tapered seems to hold onto thicker yarn better too, in my opinion. You review much like I would, if I did that kind of thing... only I prefer the 5mm hooks. I won't hold that against ya, though. LOL Nice review!
need an updated version with the loops and threads one compared to them all too
I tend to hold my hook like a pencil, and I have been eyeing the Furls hook for some time. I had been wondering about the contour of the handle and you have answered my question. Thank you for saving me some money. ;)
I broke down and bought some Furls hooks and I absolutely love them. I bought the streamline metal ones in the color blush and although they are heavier that most hooks, they are so smooth and comfortable.
😂😂😂
I really do like this video cause I feel like I did learn a lot about how the hooks are functionally But it would’ve been really nice to have more about the difference between as a new crochet I was so looking to know the difference between a amour hook vs a etimo or wether that’s just a term they use or if those have actual fictions But overall, I did enjoy the video. Thank you for sharing.
Please pay attention to detail. They are not 'Armour' but 'Amour' which is French for 'Love Affair'. Americans are so ignorant!
Thank you!
I LLOOOVVVVEEE my Clover Amour ❤ I’m going to pick up a 5mm tulip just to compare to the 5mm clover I’m using now on a project. I’ll come back and comment what I liked better ❤ I’m a knife grip crocheter. The clovers roll so nicely between my fingertips for quick efficient crochet 💜 Also depends on the type of yarn. Clovers and tulip I think both would work great with all yarn But I noticed - I have a resin hook from another company and it’s horrible for natural cotton and wool. It’s sticks to the yarn terribly. - at least that was my experience So now I just use metal hooks ❤
I received my 5mm tulip etiome red crochet hook. I like it. But my clover is more smooth- at least with this type of yarn I’m using- I notice a slight difference in friction. The yarn is Caron Jumbo- multicolored green. It’s not a quality yarn and it splits but not so much with my clover or tulip. I can use both interchangeably and be happy. The handle is very comfortable.
I bought the sweet Violet sparkly and I’m doing a bobble stitch. it is turning out to be beautiful but I would like to add another color purple and maybe cream to it to see how it will look. If you have any suggestions, please send it to me.
I love Tulip hooks. I'll never buy another Clover.
Oh thank God I found this video I recently got a etimo red and I thought I was going crazy because I have only ever used Clover and etimo felt like sandpaper lol 😅
Stessa esperienza!! Ho fatto tanto per provare i red di Tulip ma credo di tornare ai miei storici Clover, i red e anche i rose fanno troppo attrito col filo, non mi piace
DO LIKE ME ... GET BOTH CLOVER & TULUP SETS ♡ ABSOLUTELY 💯% WORTH IT 👌 👏 🙌 😍 👍
Hahaha - good plan!!
I came to crochet late in life and tried many different brands but always disliked the draggy sensation of the hook against the yarn. Then I came to both Clover and Tulip and I love them equally. They both glide through the yarn without a trace of friction. Now I won’t bother with any other brand.
I agree completely
Hello Mel, So sorry to hear about your husband. It is always hard to take no matter what roll they take in the family. We love and miss you very much. You take whatever amount of time you need to get yourself together. 14 years are a lot of years to be together but we know you can do this. Please come back to us cause this community will be lost without you. A fan😊.
Stitch markers Mel, miss you. A fan.
I am looking to get back in the swing of things with the new year - I just need to flesh some things out
Hi Mel, I went looking for my favorite Hookers and wanted to ask if you guys are going to be doing the show any more? I miss you guys and all that I learn from you. Love your shopping list. A fan😊.
Oh wow, thats a lot of yarn! I have a couple small bins overflowing and live in a 200sq ft camper, so I was hoping for tips to organize it before I have to start storing yarn and thread in a bajillion places because I lose things easily. 😅 I like the idea of vacuum sealing it! I just got a mini food saver thing for reusable zip bags for Christmas so itll be trying that pronto! 💖
Great video ❤ The clover amour is a hybrid hook, not tapered. I only know because i can't keep my yarn on a tapered hook, but i can use inline and hybrid hooks ❤️
Thats out no wool for me thxs
Thank you I have sensitive skin I been looking fora good review
Just the sight of the Furls hook there makes me grumpy: how can it possibly be called in-line, with its spreading throat ?!!
Its 20 on sale right now.. Just because I'm a total beginner and it seems like a decent start.
Adore the fringey boot moment going on here.
Hi there from Australia such gorgeous hooks thank s much for the review
Hey pretty Kitty.🙂
The cat is soooooo different, don't sell 😅
Never! Hehe - I was just thing she looked like she had murderous intent there hehehee
I wonder about the gold color wearing off? Of course that would be after years of use maybe, if it does happen
I'd really like to know the pattern your doing? I ilke it. Please lmk where u can find a pattern of this your doing here??
Thank you for watching! Since this was a sample I just did a row of SC then HDC then DC to show what it looks like in each stitch 😁
Qu ,est ce qu on peut realiser avec ce fil?
Wish I would have gotten my notification, but the replay was great!
I loose. My clover hooks. Plan to grab a tulip hook tomorrow. In a larger size. Idk why but I’m nervous. Lol.
