    Hi Toni, two things about the knitpro hooks, that may be of interest for people: firstly knitpro cords are cross compatible with all of their products (knitting needles, etc), and with knitter's pride and knitpick products; secondly, knitter's pride has also swivel cords (that can rotate independently from the hook) in the "mindful" line of products that is already available in the US and should be available next spring in the EU (under knitpro, I think)

    Your videos are so much fun to just watch, as I learn your techniques. I'm 71, taught myself to crochet when I was in my 20's but hadn't done it for the last twenty years (life happened...). I can make things but not the amazing things like you do - yet! All in all, I get to experience all those lucious yarns, vicariously, through your videos. Really enjoy your personality and the way you make your videos.
    P.S.: Made 3 hooded scarves for Christmas and birthday gifts during 2021/2022, thanks to you. My girls love 'em. Tunesian is next on my learning sgenda. Love all of it.

    Want to truly spit your coffee? Look at the Tulip IC sets. I have all the ones mentioned here (except the first set) and recently invested in the Tulips. I use them more than even my prized Chiaogoo set now... Swivel cords, no tightening key required, cute case, nice finish AND they come with the coveted 7mm. But sit down before you check the price. ;) Love your videos, books, patterns- all of the above.

  • @t3knosoulz
    @t3knosoulz 2 роки тому +14

    I got my Denise set for $30 and they were perfect for learning with!! I loved that they didn't screw on like other hooks which meant they didn't require a key (cause I lose them... lol)

    • @WandaCasamento59
      @WandaCasamento59 2 роки тому

      I find the ones with the T key to be a nussance. I had the ChiaGoo lace for knitting and I thought it was cool that they had the key and the set was gorgeous but as you knit the needles (or at least this happened to me) spin and when they spin they unlock and when it unlocks you will have loops on the needle and then you have to stop place the loops that fell off ,back on and lock with the kep. This happened so many times -This bugged me.I wanted to tell ChiaGoo so they could fix it on they're next set but no way to get them.Left messages but they don't write. I Loved the metal and tthe chords if they ever make them like the Denise or Micheals set I will buy them - I love the look of the New Micheals set. I need to get that coupon. So just as a warning the screw on ones are the better and if they ever make the ChiaGoo for Tunisian (or i you knit also- it is worth your weight in gold. But if Micheals makes these in metat the chiord look even thinner than the chiaGoo I think that is an excellent set.

    Hello, not my first time here…but was looking for good Tunisian hooks, so I immediately came to you. Then, I also researched a few other opinions and decided for myself, what I wanted for my hooks. I also have the Denise set…and they fit my freakishly small hands…but I don’t like the cables. They are stiff and they don’t move, so to me, they are awkward. I ended up with the Addi Click set. I have one of the Addi hooks I bought a long time ago…it was my go-to hook. I have the gold speckled regular crochet hook, in 7 mm.
    I found this video to be very helpful to me, as for what I wanted my Tunisian hooks to do. Thank you, for making videos like this one.
    BTW, in February, 2023, on Amazon, the last set you talk about, is on sale for 56% off…and are less than $75. Just a FYI, for anyone else looking for the hooks you mention in this video.

    Hey Toni! I’m just now getting to sit and watch this video (working in healthcare is crazy rn!) And I’m so happy the Clover set made your list!! As a knitter and crocheter, I love the Clover Takumi set since I can use the cables and end caps between my crochet hooks and knitting needles. Plus the spinning cables is a complete game changer. I love your videos so much and enjoy watching them while I work on projects. It’s like stitching with a friend. Sending lots of love! 💖💖

    Thanks for this awesome video, Toni! I picked up Tunisian crochet a few years ago, but I've only bought the single straight hooks as I needed them for projects up to this point. This video definitely helped me make a decision on what to buy since deciding to get an interchangeable cable set. I ended up going with the Clover Takumi set because I found them on Amazon for only $60 with next day Prime shipping! I really liked the fact (as you pointed out in your video) they don't require a key and the cable spins independently from the hook. I have a set of ChiaoGoo interchangeable circular knitting needles and absolutely love them, but the price on the Takumi set paired with the independent spin feature won me over. Can't wait for them to arrive tomorrow so I can try them out!

    Hi Toni. Thanks so much for this video. I actually have the Knitters Pride Ginger set and love it because the heads ARE sharp. But I also got the Chiao Goo set for some of the yarns that split easily. I am now going to get the Clover set because of the spinning cords. That is one of my complaints on all the interchangeable hooks and knitting needles I have. You know a girl can never have too many crochet hooks...
    I taught myself to crochet over 50 years ago and with your videos (and now great book) you have gotten me excited about crocheting again. And explained so many techniques and tricks that I missed by not having a teacher. I am so grateful to you.

    Love love love Tunisian crochet, mainly thanks to your videos. Can't afford an expensive interchangeable set, but got a beginner's bamboo set from Amazon, which came all warped and in need of sanding. I now use the resin Knitpro interchangeable for larger items or the symphony double sided, for working in the round. So far, untill winning the lotto, it's sufficient x

    I purchased the Denise Love2Crochet set a few months ago, and I love it. It doesn't have all the hook sizes that the regular Tunisian hooks comes with, but there's a good size range of 3.7mm to 6mm and 6.5mm to 15mm. I chose the set that starts at 6.5mm. I'm enjoying Tunisian crochet a lot and I can't wait to start a project from your handbook. I may buy some more hooks in the future and I'll definitely come back to this video for a reference.

    i got the denise tunisian crochet hook set ages ago after seeing it on your channel and i Love them so much !! they have my favorite cable locking method ive seen on any sort of interchangable yarn tool and the little case they come in is cute and keeps me from losing them :D that being said, they are a little too short to use on their own! i always just put one of the really short cables in the end if im using them for a non-tunisian or small tunisian project and that works fine 💖 when i decided to get into knitting, i grabbed a cheap interchangeable set off amazon just to make sure i gave it a fair shot and knew if i wanted to stick with it and the moment i decided i was in, i jumped back over to denise and got an interchangeable knitting needles set 💖

    You asked about other tapered Tunisian hook sets besides the Addis. Pony make two sets with tapered, anodized aluminum hooks, the Pony Chroma and Pony Complete sets. The Pony Chroma sets contain seven hooks sizes 3.0mm, 3.5mm, 4.0mm, 4.5mm, 5.0mm, 5.5mm, and 6.0mm, plus cables, connectors, and end stops. The Pony Complete sets contain two each of both hooks and knitting needle tips in sizes 3.5mm, 4.0mm, 4.5mm, 5.0mm, and 6.0mm, plus cables, connectors, end stops, and a row counter that screws on between the cable and the end stop. Oddly, the Pony Complete sets are not compatible with the Pony Chroma sets or any of the other Pony IC needles and cables. The Pony Colour hooks (in the Chroma sets) are also available separately.

    Love your videos!
    My favourite hook was a sizeless dowel stick with a wooden knob at the one end as stopper, a hook that was cut back fairly deeply anthat had a more conelike end. It was sanded, sealed and varnished. I accidentally broke the hook once and it repaired beautifully with fibreglass tape and resin. I made a Lot of bulky knit beadpreads with that hook. 30 stitches, 30 rows per block, and crocheted together with a border. I miss that hook! I prefer quality bamboo or plastic hooks now. Tapered, but plastic hooks break under heavier work, so metal seems right. So far I havent found interchangeable or long string hooks that dont catch on the yarn where the cord joins to the hook.

    I started out with the bamboo set with plastic tubing via Amazon for less than $25 Canadian. Yes, they are a bit rough but someone suggested waxed paper as well and that did the trick. I may sand them + apply a few coats of spray varnish to get them smoother. Need to get a few more Tunisian crochet project ideas (hint hint hubby to buy Toni's book) and then the clover set would be on next year's wish list. I love all of my clover products - knitting needles, interchangeable knitting needle set, amour hooks and tapestry needles so the Tunisian set would complete the family. Thanks for the review and enjoy the holiday season, Toni.

    I just ordered the clover set and your book since Amazon recommended it. Figured I’d been wanting it and it would go great with a full set of hooks. I was able to get the set for $69 feels like a steal after watching this

    My husband gifted me with the Knitters Pride, 24k gold set, a few months ago and I’ve been using them daily on Christmas gifts. I had them in my carry-on yarn bag when we went out of state to celebrate my father’s 80th bday. They were there going into security, my bag was dumped and looked through at security. When we got home, they were gone. I’m still stressed and to the point of tears. Why my Tunisian hooks?! Like you said, the least used tool.
    Money is extremely tight so the gift was Amazing. Sadly I’m mid-projects and can’t replace them. However, I loved them and highly recommend. You are right in the odd direction the hook gets turned at times, but it wasn’t bad enough for me not to love them.
    Thanks for your videos! I’ve been a fan for a while now. My son who’s in college and a knitter told me he’s ready to learn to crochet. I sent him a link to you and he texted right back that he’d found you himself and was enjoying your beginner videos!

    Thanks to my Cajun grandma, I've been crocheting since I was, like, six. It has only been in the last year that I discovered tunisian crochet. And, because I do nothing the easy way, I immediately took on a larger project and got around it by "making" a tunisian crochet hook by using a regular hook and a wire wrapped in tape. It worked, but I just have to admit to myself Maybe It's A Good Idea To Buy The Right Tool For The Job. Thank you so much for this video to help me with that!

    After watching your video and after days of scouring the websites for Tunisian crochet hooks, I decided to take the plunge and purchase the Clover hook set. I found it on Amazon for just under 100.00. OMG! What a game changer. The set is so worth it. I love the smooth feel in my hands and the smoothness it provides when working the Tunisian stitches. Love the ease of the attachments and not having to deal with twisting and constantly readjusting the project on the needle. I am so recommending to anyone that has reservations !!! Thank you and BTW, love the videos.

    I have two sets of wooden TC hooks. I actually keep a small Emory board and some wax paper with mine if they get a burr for whatever reason. Works like a dream especially if working with cotton yarn.🙂

    You are so right about the hook size. I have the Denise Interchangeable hooks, which I adore, but they are short. I have to take more breaks than I want to because of hand cramping. I think I'll try the Clover Takumi set. Thanks for the video.💜

    I bought the Denise interchangeable set on your recommend and I love it. I have small hands and the length is fine for me. I have even on occasion just used the hook without the cord for ordinary crocheting, because I needed a hook in a size Denise had and I didn't and like using it that way too.

    I purchased some individual Chia-goo (excuse the misspelling) hooks with the cords from Etsy very inexpensive, brand new! I paid $5.00 for one hook and $7.00 for the other, not bad prices at all. Loved the review, very detailed. I also purchased the regular Boye long length hooks for Tunisian crochet, I’m ready now Teacher!

    Toni, your book arrived this week! So excited to work my 1st Tunisian stitch project. Of course, my 1st thought was "What hook set do I buy.?" I'll check out an inexpensive interchangeable set. But in my past knitting experience, I like working on Clover & Addi needles.
    Thanks for all the info today.

    Hi Toni, from England. (Ye olde England, not the ‘new’ one 😉). I just want to tell you how much I enjoy your tutorials. They are always clear and concise and…welcoming. Strange word to use but what I mean is I never feel patronised or feel like an “outsider”, if that makes sense? Your happy face and cheeky sense of humour always make me smile. So thank you!

    I had a set like the first Amazon ones that you showed. I got mine from Ebay. I threw them out this morning because I hadn't used them for a long time and the cords had started to deteriorate and get sticky. This video was helpful to look for another set.

    I got some of the knit pal double ended tunisian hooks, but I got them too long. I'm going to have to get a shorter set. It did come with a small fingernail type file. That is nice. I also purchased a set of Luvix hooks, 23 piece, with both metal and bamboo hooks. The metal hooks are the extra long ones with a cap permanently attached to the end. Sometimes I get annoyed with that because the end gets in my way. The bamboo ones are attached to their own cords and I love them. Now I'm going to start researching some of these interchangeable hooks. Thank you for sharing your experience Toni 💖

    Miss Toni, I've been watching you for about a week or so and subscribed. Thank you for the inspiration you provide. I'm looking forward to trying Tunisian crochet. I had a few hooks with interchangeable cords from Knitters Pride (Dreamz) (but I think the cords are in storage, gotta check tomorrow) for a pattern or more that I bought years ago (2017.) But this time around I felt like getting a set would be best. Thanks for your reviews. From you and other UA-camrs, I compared 4 sets and went with the Clover. Luckily managed to get it for $75. I look forward to using them with some of your projects. You're terrific and I really enjoy your videos and think your designs are lovely. 😊 I wish you continued success 👑
