I am not an avid crocheter. I work on projects when I have time and when I feel especially motivated (or when I'm putting off doing my work for the PhD). I am 41, a single mom, and not one to part with my money easily. I took a chance on these, because they were pretty. Seriously, because they looked fun, and I would know which was which by color. Kinda dumb reasons to buy, but I did.
I's 5'10" and have long fingers. These are long enough to sit comfortably in my hands. The softness was not necessarily a requirement, because I don't press on them, nor do I squeeze or have carpal tunnel or anything. That being said, these are unusually comfortable!! I don't hold the hook like a pencil, I do it the "unrefined way", but I tried holding it like a pencil, and both ways were UNUSUALLY comfortable. I actually thought that the comfort and EXTREME light weight of the product might lend itself to difficulty due to lack of spatial awareness, since you almost can't feel them. Not so...they are an absolute breeze to use! I buy all of my yarn on sale, so a lot of times, I have the cheap stuff that is good for kids' rugged treatment (and let's face it, cat-wrapping, dog-bundling, and van trip activities that my teenagers have yet to outgrow). Cheap stuff tends to not work up as nicely as the better yarns, but when I used them, the in-and-out motion was darn near effortless. I may have to buy a skein of good stuff just to see, because truly, I cannot image it being any smoother. I guess it's the quality of the metal that makes them sooooo light, but whatever it is, it works. Kind of like Magic Erasers or dry cleaning...I don't understand how they do what they do, but there's no denying the magic!! :-)
I wanted to keep the review light-hearted and easy to read, as I sometimes find the fine detail a little pretentious, like "Why do we want to know THAT much about this product?" but...really, really truly, the hooks are fun to use, and well worth the investment, and again, I saw this as a kind of overpriced impulse buy that ended up being a really good purchase.
Oh...last thing...I would like to see some additional patterns for cases offered...think 31 Purses kind of fun patterns...lime and pink just wouldn't have been my first inclination, but the colors certainly fit with the product. The little flaps keep 'em all from falling out, too! Good buy and goodbye!

nice product! I really like the non slip grip on them and the fun colors. the only thing is that I don't like is the colors of the case. you get tired of those colors pretty quick. the compartment out side the case is okay I guess it's not that roomy tho.
