It is heartwarming to see your excitement over these crochet hooks! I'm so glad you "caved" and gave this wonderful person your address so she could make you so happy. You give so much to all of us; you definitely deserve something in return ❤️
Crystal, you deserve everything you receive and much more, do you realize how much joy you bring to so many people. I am almost 80 and have been crocheting since before I was 10. I only crochet by reading patterns and some of them were just to hard to follow. I can’t tell you how happy I was to find you. I have been making everything and it excites me so much. Especially Baby Blankets and Shawls. I never keep anything I always give it to others. In the seventies and eighties I made tablecloths for all my family and friends, using #10 thread. Everyone has a table but me. I love you for all you do for your viewers.
My favorite hook size is H. I have my grandmother’s collection of hooks and they are all Hero. I am left handed and she taught me how to crochet by sitting across from me so I could see how to do it using the mirror image method. I also have the first crochet hook I ever used. It is a Hero size J and my grandmother bought it for me.
Enjoy your Hero Hooks! Your enthusiasm, passion, delight, and excitement over these Hero Hooks is inspiring! Keep bringing more love and joy into our wonderful world through your awesome works of art created with yarn!!!
Thank you so much to the generous soul who gave these hooks to our friend and inspiration, Crystal. It is nice to see someone who gives so much be on the receiving end for a change. Again, thank you!
That was very nice of you to send these lovely gifts to Crystal. Crystal gives so much of herself to us and she gives for animals too. Crystal, I hope that all that you give comes back to you in happiness and kindness and all good things 💖
You do deserve it, and more. I’ve only been watching a short while, and immediately I see your generous and giving heart at work. Everything you do is given freely, so let the occasional person in enough to show we care. 😘🥰
Your excitement is infectious! You lifted my spirit just by my getting to see how much you enjoyed your gift of hooks. I know you made the lady who sent them to you so happy by sharing your joy with all of us. And yes, you deserve the love we send your way because you send your love out to us in so many ways. Thank you for being you.
Crystal, you are so humble, and so deserving of all the happiness! If only you knew the joy that you've brought into so many people's lives, (including mine!) you would see just how deserving you are. Like you said in this video, thank you will never be enough for all that you do for us. You've taught me so many things in crochet and continue to teach and inspire me. I know that I'm not alone in that! I'm so glad you got some happy mail and I hope you enjoy your new to you hooks! Sending you lots of love! 🙂
My ‘Nana Dod’ taught me to crochet when I was a little girl. She was a constant giggler and I remember her having hysterics at my attempts to get to grips with the hook and yarn 😂 I taught my daughter to crochet and at 28 she’s more proficient than me now. We used to run crochet classes and taught lots of people. Your great hook video has made me want to go corral all my hooks and sort em out. Love from England ❤️😘
I think my favorite hook size would be an H, I or J. I learned to crochet from a girlfriend when I was about 16 or 17 yrs old. I went on vacation with my parents, to Colorado and my friend Amy came with us. She had lost her mom a few months before and my parents kind of took her under their wings. On that vacation, she had brought along some yarn and a couple of hooks and while we were riding in the back seat she taught me to crochet. We both made beanies to wear up in the mountains. My mom had tried to teach me to knit and crochet before but was left handed and I couldnt copy her movements but with Amy sitting beside me, I copied her stitching and got the hang of it in no time! The beanies were made in 2 days.
Kindness is contagious Crystal! We see all your kind generosity and it spreads and makes your subscribers want to keep spreading that love around! Glad you got some new ones for your collection!
I am so happy for you! I have 2 special hooks that my brother found in 1998 while digging out a basement for a new house. He said he was digging about 7 feet below the surface when he got a glimpse of something shiny. He stopped his bobcat and went to see what it was and pulled out a metal crochet hook and then found an other hook but it is ivory. He dug around a little more but didn't find anything else. His crew member dug through some of the soil that was removed and found some broken pottery and junk. He brought the hooks to me because he knew I would love them. I will send you a photo in an email. I have never used either of these hooks but since my brother passed they are more pre ious to me. He asked the contractor how long this land had been without a house and was given information to find out. It had been left unused since a house fire in 1863 that destroyed the farmhouse that was built there in 1825. So it is hard to know the age on my hooks. My favorite hook that I use is a Boye J that I love. Next favorite is a Boye I hook. I really love this channel and your videos. I became a member in early 2016. Thank you for being my favorite teacher and friend.
Crystal, you deserve everything you get And way more, for everything you do! Saving animals and people too. Watching your videos has brought me back from a very dark place. You make lots of people very happy Thank you!!!!
What a wonderful happy package!! Your joy speaks volumes, especially for the ones you didn't have before now. I must say the ornate wood hooks peaked my interest. They are obviously well crafted. Having said that, they remind me of Harry Potter wizard wands. It seems appropriate, because if one uses them they can make something "magical" with yarn 😁 Thank you for sharing these treasures.
I have a wooden hook identical to the last one she showed and I got it from Hobby Lobby. It was marked as a ‘G’ but is really much smaller. I got it because it was beautiful!
I have several wooden hooks that I can't use due to arthritis and carpal tunnel in my hands. I can't recall what type of wood they were made of. They are still in their original packaging.
Crystal,, you more than deserve all the love and affection that comes at you through your screen. I, for one, could never pay you back for all the crochet items I have made from your FREE tutorials. My family, friends and charity have all benefited from your generous spirit. I know you won't probably read this as you cannot accept praise and thanks. So to the kind person who sent you the HERO hooks, thank you for putting the huge smile on Crystals face. Was heart warming to see. Take care xxJane 💕
I love seeing you lite up like you did when you saw those Hero hooks. It makes me smile. My favorite hook is either an I or J. I will say that you convinced me that using a larger hook size is okay to do even if the package says a different size. Thanks you for that.
Oh my, Crystal. You give SO MUCH to your community that you should never feel that you don't deserve to receive something in return from those that love you so much
I used to struggle to accept gifts like you do. Think for a minute how excited and fulfilled you feel when you gift something to someone. It is the same for others, and the best thing we can do is let them have all the feels when they give us something. You are so humble, but generous to a fault. Spread that joy!
Animal rescue and animal shelters are my favorite organizations to receive my donations. You're so thoughtful to express your concern for animal welfare. Enjoy your "new" hooks.
Very nice collection u received the expression on ur facecsaid it ALL...My fave hook sizes are H & I...CRYSTAL THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO & YOU ARE VERY DESERVING because YOU give more then your ever know❣️
Finding hooks is so much fun! I got very excited when my cousin found all of my Grandma's hooks wrapped in old brown paper and gave them to me. I have to agree, size J is my favorite
Yaay!!🎈 Thats so exciting Crystal that you received hero hooks!👍and ones you didn't have!💕 so fun your up late with us! 😊 your so kind when you give to us & that joy you feel, is the joy we feel when one of us can give something back to you as well as loving when it makes you smile⚘️thank you for sharing with us and for all you've given to us thru the years! Big hug!🪻
You are a joy to behold, Crystal, when you get so excited over yarn or crochet hooks, especially Hero!! Happy the good-hearted gifter found hooks you do not have! My favorite hook size is I, and I do use H & J! Enjoy those hooks!! Stay safe & love to all! 💕🤗💕
I am so glad you excepted the gift. If was meant to be. I was so excited for you when you seen those plastic hooks, that was awesome. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. And thanks to who sent you the gift of kindness. I like to use a 6mm and 5.5mm hook.😊
Oh Crystal!!! What a delightful treat!!! Truly so happy for you!!!!!! I inherited my gramma’s collection after she passed a little over 30 years ago, she taught me cuz I was the only one interested… lol However my ex, who wasn’t the nicest person, sold every one of them at a garage sale behind my back…. I cried for the longest time…. Mostly because of the irreplaceable memories …… she also only used hero…… What a blessing that whoever sent you these has bestowed upon you!!! Thank you whoever you are!!!!! My two favorite hooks are “I” & “J”
I use mostly sizes G, H, I and J but, I have used smaller and larger as well. I have all of my grandma's my mom's hooks. Most are Boye hooks with a few Susan Bates. But, I have these also: 1 plastic Hero size D or 0; 3 plastic Susan Bates sizes 1,2 & 4; two plastic Boye sizes 4 & 6; one steel Silko size 9 (doesn't say where it's made); one steel DeLux size 14 made in USA and one steel Milwards size 7 made in England. My grandma did a lot of tatting. I have many of the items she made and have given a few of the hankies she made to each of my 3 granddaughters. I just thought I would share with you. I'm so glad you said yes to whomever it was. It was really nice to see your face when you saw the plastic hook🤗 The wood hooks were beautiful. I'm sure you will really enjoy your hooks. Wishing you a beautiful day 🤗💖🙏🏻
I love your joy in the little things. Thanks for sharing and I am glad you allowed someone to bring you a smile and joy. You are more than deserving. Your kindness begets kindness. My favorite hook is H.
Sometimes doing something kind for another is what their soul needs. I knew a person that had depression. Giving to others to see them happy helped bring them out of their funk.
Hi Crystal, my favorite size hooks are the 5.5mm(I) and the 10.00mm(N). Exciting Happy Mail for you. Your excitement was priceless, so were the hooks. The wooden ones are truly show pieces. Enjoy them all, even tho you never asked, your friends still enjoy giving you things that relate or speak of you, your heart and generosity are second to none, and giving to you, even as much as a Hero hook cannot say thank you enough for all and everything you do and give. Your generosity and kindness reaches far beyond the yarn community. Let me say thank you TH-cam Queen.
Crystal thank you is enough that’s what you always tell us. And she did it out of the goodness of her heart. It was something she knew you loved nothing wrong with that.
You deservice the best! DON'T EVER THINK YOU DON'T DESERVE SOMETHING. I wish I lived near you so we could spend hours looking at yarn and going to antique and discount basis. We could sit om your balcony and crocheting.. You have such a great personality. You are kind and generous. In my opinion, anyone who loves all animals and works to help them, is an angel. It seems you have a loving family. People adore you so they want to send gifts.
Oh our hook Hero has been hooked...!!! Enjoy your gift Crystal and accept it graciously. You deserve it because you are so kind and giving...have a great day. Love and light ❤ my favorite hook size is a 4mm..
My favorite hook size is J and H, those hooks are awesome, she knows you will care for them, some folks are just awesome. And yes you do deserve them. Look how excited you were, love it! Happy for you!
Oh, the excitement on your face when you saw the plastic Hero hooks!! My favorite is J and K...most of my projects get made with one or the other. However,,,I am currently working on a project that requires an H. It's a challenge...lol, but something I've wanted to make a long time.
Hello Crystal, Happy Tuesday. Happy Mails are needed in our lives , Smile. Thanks for accepting .the Gift. I dream of getting some happy Mail one day. I use 4MM and 6mm and occasionally #.7.5MM . was taught to crochet using Threads so small hooks were the norm. Great Gift of hooks. Ninette Bird- Tx
Oh wow!!! This was super special watching you discover the plastic Hero hooks!!! What a treat to enjoy this with you, Crystal. I'm delighted that you let the person send them to you as they not only brought joy to you, but to all of us who watched this! My fave hook is my 4mm Tulip Etimo Rose hook! Then after that it's all of my Clover hooks. 🥰 Blessings from South Australia💕🐨
You're so sweet! But I understand completely. Like you, I would rather give than receive but I have to remind myself that there are so many in this world that feel the same way. I'm so glad you let this wonderful person give those hooks to you. I can just imagine how much joy it brought her or him to see your excitement and I know it made their day. Plus, you really deserve it! As for hook size, I like H, I, and J for the most part. They are much easier on the hand! Rock on, Crystal! 🥰
I have a small collection of Hooks too. I have only one HERO hook that is a size I. My favorite hook that I use as much as I can is a BOYE size K. 6.5 mm. Crochet brings me joy, but with Arthritis and Neuropathy in my hands, the hook I use is very important as it basically allows me to do what I love to do without a lot of pain. I can tolerate the pain better when I can see the fruits of my work taking shape. Takes longer to see the fruits with a smaller hook. Bag O Day! Thank you for all your videos! You deserve much more than your know. Your videos are therapy for me!
I Learned to crochet on a hero. That’s my favorite. I am 75. Years ago I sent you some yarn that was over 25 years old and I included Some hero hooks. I think I sent them under my middle name Ann
I'm so happy you got that beautiful gift and thanks to the person who sent them. My fav is an "I" cause when Crystal uses the "J" I have to use the "I" since I crochet a little bit loose.
I've been crocheting since I was 10 my favorite crochet hook is also a J. I'm gonna be 60 this year and just love watching your tutorials and yarn reviews. Thanks for sharing your love of hooks. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
You deserve every good thing that life hands you. Don’t denigrate yourself. I really like the I hooks though I tend to use J and K hooks a lot as well. I haven’t tried using my mom’s tiny hooks that she used for lace. I’ll need a magnifying glass to attempt them.
My favorite hook is a G , I have a Hero G Hook my sister taught me how to crochet 🧶 and it was with a Hero Hook G, today is Sunday October 9,2023 I just now found my Hero going through my yarn, I thought I had lost it. I like to have never stop crying, my sister passed in May of2022 . My Hero was made in Germany 🇩🇪 God is so Good. I’m so happy I found my hook. I’m sorry my comment was so long Crystal. Stay safe and God Bless Always 🙏🏽🧶🤎 Joesy my sister taught me to crochet in the late70’s
OMG every time I go to a yard sale I'm looking for Hero. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge about crocheting with us. Hope you can take us along to some yard sales this summer. Hope you have a blessed day. Hugs for the BOD family.
I love to see you get excited, it is fun to watch and part of why you have such a following. You are such a genuine person in everything you do. Thank you for sharing your happy mail with us.
Crystal, you deserve the best. My favorite size is J also. It just feels better. I use all sizes, but I, J, and K, seem to be my go to for most projects. Maybe because lately, the past few years, I am making projects, from your tutorials. I also, prefer boye, over Bates, although with Red Heart, I have to use a Susan Bates, because of the way it often splits, especially the ombre. I luckily found, that the Michael's loops and thread, J is nice to work with, and also an off brand from Amazon, Coopay, from China. I guess, you could say, I collect J hooks, too. Because the yarn and project, will speak to me, and I may have to try several hooks, before finding the right one. Sometimes it feels like choosing a magic wand. Crystal, one Mom and Woman to another, work on feeling worthy. You are raising Men and Women, watching you. Much love to you Dear One. Thank you, for being you, and all you do. Blessings 🕊 ❤️ 🕯 😇 🙏 💚
Yay! It was so much fun to see you get excited over those Hero crochet hooks! You do so much for us with your tutorials and giveaways that it was really nice to see you receive something that you really enjoyed as well! I’m also glad that you promote donations to animal shelters. This is a cause near and dear to my heart as well!
Your excitement is amazing! I'm so glad you accepted the happy mail. I love to see how happy you are. I have some hero hooks in my small collection. I think my favorite is an I hook. That's what I use most. Blessings to the wonderful, thoughtful viewer!
I like a G and a #7. And sometimes people want to find a really good home for things they've loved. So you don't really need to deserve them other than that they know you will love their special thing.
Crystal, I am so excited over all your Hero hooks! Like you, I only crochet with aluminum hooks. For over 25 years I used one hook and it was a Boye size K. Since I only made blankets, hats or scarves hook size didn't matter. A few years ago our kittypet, Rumples, hid my hook. We looked for over a month and I was mourning the loss of my hook because the newer Boye hooks had a sharper tip that I struggled to get used to. Then one day, when moving boxes under our bed we found my hook! It felt like Christmas. I actually hugged my hook. Since I learned about crochet tutorial videos, like yours, I have learned about different size yarns and when you really need to use the right size hook, especially when crocheting clothes. Still love my Boye K hook the most. I should retire it because I've used it for so long that I've worn the flat metallic paint off in areas and it leaves a gray smudge on my fingers but I just can't do it. 😁 Blessings!
Silly, we all love you and appreciate very much all that you do for us. You give so much to others, so just say thank you and it’s wonderful that people care enough to bless you with little treasures. 💕🧶😘
My favorite crochet hook size is H. It's what I always used when a whipper snapper. 😂 Just got used to it. I have loads of hooks so I went through them and not one Hero but I have some Susan Bates and 2 Millward hooks. I get most of mine from thrift stores or yard sales. Thank you for sharing your happy mail with us. You deserve it! ♥️❤️♥️
Yes you do deserve nice presents. You give people presents all the time but that’s not why you deserve them. Anyway Crystal my favourite size hook is. 4.5 to a 5. 😊
My favorite Is either a G or an H. But I do use J alot since most of your patterns are with that size. I use to use the real small ones when I use to make a lot of doilies, tablecloths and collars. What a great gift for you. I get really excited when someone gives me a bunch of old stuff like hooks and yarn. It's like your mystery bags.
My favorite size was a J 6mm. Hook. I use that size from 1970's until just a year ago . Now I use a K 6.5 mm. Hook . I use aluminum Hooks since I started crocheting . Mine are inline . I gave my old J Hook from the 1970's to my Cousin ( Amelia ) when she started crocheting . Now she knows more on some stitches than I do and better at reading a pattern . Love and Hugs .
Hi, Crystal. Those hooks are so cool 😎 I keep looking for hero hooks because of you. My ultimate wish though is to find a hook made from bone, that's a relic.
My favorite size is an E hook. I love sport and dk weight yarns as I make lots of baby items. I also have my mom's hero hooks. She taught me to crochet when I was 9, I am now 61. Thanks for all you do for your yarn peeps!!!!
My 6mm Hero is my absolute favorite hook! I was very lucky and had all of my great grandmother’s crochet and knitting supplies given to me when I was a teen. It’s so nice to see other people getting excited about Hero hooks! Most of my hooks and needles are vintage Bernat by Aero, but Heroes have a very special place in my heart and hand haha
I love how you get excited of what might appear to be the smallest of things to someone not familiar with our craft. Thank you to the generous person that sent you the hooks. I have a couple older double end hooks from my aunt. No hero’s though. H, I, and J depending on the project. An E hook for amigurumi and I use metal hooks with thread but just use the recommended size, no favorite in metal hooks.
How very kind of this person to send you quite a few of your favorite brand of crochet hooks. My favorite is a "J" or "K", but I also crochet doilies; so I do use the small steel hooks, also.
I love you do donations to animal charities. About 5 years ago we lost our Daisy girl it broke our hearts. About 3 days later the house was still sad. I found a rescue shelter called Canine gem where we found Bella who is a hound Pitbull mix. I have never got a dog through a rescue before. I would definitely go through a rescue place again. She had her put down date with situations in our family more so with Bella it’s who rescued who. It was an adjustment but Bella had been through soo many changes in a short time. We have had her for 5 years. Yes she’s part Pitbull but any breed can be mean it’s all about how their human raises them. She’s a lover. It’s taken along time for her to warm up to other dogs. With humans it’s very cut and dry she likes you or doesn’t like you.
Favorite hook is a "J/6mm" my go to. This vid really tickled me and made me smile! Ah.....the joy of an unexpected gift! Well deserved for all you give to each & every devotee of crocheting!
It is heartwarming to see your excitement over these crochet hooks! I'm so glad you "caved" and gave this wonderful person your address so she could make you so happy. You give so much to all of us; you definitely deserve something in return ❤️
Amen to that.
Crystal, you deserve everything you receive and much more, do you realize how much joy you bring to so many people. I am almost 80 and have been crocheting since before I was 10.

My favorite hook size is H. I have my grandmother’s collection of hooks and they are all Hero. I am left handed and she taught me how to crochet by sitting across from me so I could see how to do it using the mirror image method. I also have the first crochet hook I ever used. It is a Hero size J and my grandmother bought it for me.
@darlienestanhope479 : thats so wonderful you have a set of hero hooks from your grandmother! I know you treasure that! How fun! 😊
5:50 I bought for me, from China because I'm poor
My favorite size hook is an H or I. Those are beautiful
That is such a nice gift. My favorite size is an I or j, and my favorite hooks are clover or boye.
I learned to crochet the exact same way. We used Boyd hooks.
Enjoy your Hero Hooks! Your enthusiasm, passion, delight, and excitement over these Hero Hooks is inspiring! Keep bringing more love and joy into our wonderful world through your awesome works of art created with yarn!!!
Thank you so much to the generous soul who gave these hooks to our friend and inspiration, Crystal. It is nice to see someone who gives so much be on the receiving end for a change. Again, thank you!

Sweet description of your Nana Dod😊
I think my favorite hook size would be an H, I or J. I learned to crochet from a girlfriend when I was about 16 or 17 yrs old.

Kindness is contagious Crystal! We see all your kind generosity and it spreads and makes your subscribers want to keep spreading that love around! Glad you got some new ones for your collection!
I am so happy for you! I have 2 special hooks that my brother found in 1998 while digging out a basement for a new house. He said he was digging about 7 feet below the surface when he got a glimpse of something shiny. He stopped his bobcat and went to see what it was and pulled out a metal crochet hook and then found an other hook but it is ivory. He dug around a little more but didn't find anything else. His crew member dug through some of the soil that was removed and found some broken pottery and junk. He brought the hooks to me because he knew I would love them. I will send you a photo in an email.
I have never used either of these hooks but since my brother passed they are more pre ious to me. He asked the contractor how long this land had been without a house and was given information to find out. It had been left unused since a house fire in 1863 that destroyed the farmhouse that was built there in 1825. So it is hard to know the age on my hooks.
My favorite hook that I use is a Boye J that I love. Next favorite is a Boye I hook.
I really love this channel and your videos. I became a member in early 2016. Thank you for being my favorite teacher and friend.
Crystal, you deserve everything you get And way more, for everything you do! Saving animals and people too. Watching your videos has brought me back from a very dark place. You make lots of people very happy Thank you!!!!
What a wonderful happy package!! Your joy speaks volumes, especially for the ones you didn't have before now.
I must say the ornate wood hooks peaked my interest. They are obviously well crafted. Having said that, they remind me of Harry Potter wizard wands. It seems appropriate, because if one uses them they can make something "magical" with yarn 😁
Thank you for sharing these treasures.
I have a wooden hook identical to the last one she showed and I got it from Hobby Lobby. It was marked as a ‘G’ but is really much smaller. I got it because it was beautiful!
I have several wooden hooks that I can't use due to arthritis and carpal tunnel in my hands. I can't recall what type of wood they were made of. They are still in their original packaging.
H hook
Crystal,, you more than deserve all the love and affection that comes at you through your screen.
I, for one, could never pay you back for all the crochet items I have made from your FREE tutorials. My family, friends and charity have all benefited from your generous spirit.
I know you won't probably read this as you cannot accept praise and thanks.
So to the kind person who sent you the HERO hooks, thank you for putting the huge smile on Crystals face. Was heart warming to see.
Take care xxJane 💕
I love seeing you lite up like you did when you saw those Hero hooks. It makes me smile. My favorite hook is either an I or J. I will say that you convinced me that using a larger hook size is okay to do even if the package says a different size. Thanks you for that.

My two favorite hooks are “I” & “J”
I use mostly sizes G, H, I and J but, I have used smaller and larger as well. I have all of my grandma's my mom's hooks. Most are Boye hooks with a few Susan Bates. But, I have these also: 1 plastic Hero size D or 0; 3 plastic Susan Bates sizes 1,2 & 4; two plastic Boye sizes 4 & 6; one steel Silko size 9 (doesn't say where it's made); one steel DeLux size 14 made in USA and one steel Milwards size 7 made in England. My grandma did a lot of tatting. I have many of the items she made and have given a few of the hankies she made to each of my 3 granddaughters. I just thought I would share with you. I'm so glad you said yes to whomever it was. It was really nice to see your face when you saw the plastic hook🤗 The wood hooks were beautiful. I'm sure you will really enjoy your hooks.
Wishing you a beautiful day 🤗💖🙏🏻
You put SO MUCH kindness out into the world, you DESERVE it to come back to you. 😊
J-hook is my favorite, but I do use the H - hook as well That was so awesome of the person who sent you this beautiful hooks 😊
I love your joy in the little things. Thanks for sharing and I am glad you allowed someone to bring you a smile and joy. You are more than deserving. Your kindness begets kindness. My favorite hook is H.
Now that’s what I call happy mail - your first ever plastic Hero hooks!!!
Sometimes doing something kind for another is what their soul needs. I knew a person that had depression. Giving to others to see them happy helped bring them out of their funk.
Hi Crystal, my favorite size hooks are the 5.5mm(I) and the 10.00mm(N).
Exciting Happy Mail for you. Your excitement was priceless, so were the hooks. The wooden ones are truly show pieces. Enjoy them all, even tho you never asked, your friends still enjoy giving you things that relate or speak of you, your heart and generosity are second to none, and giving to you, even as much as a Hero hook cannot say thank you enough for all and everything you do and give. Your generosity and kindness reaches far beyond the yarn community.
Let me say thank you TH-cam Queen.
It's really great that you were able to accept those hooks from that sweet person !!!
Crystal thank you is enough that’s what you always tell us. And she did it out of the goodness of her heart. It was something she knew you loved nothing wrong with that.
I'm so happy for you! Yay! You make our days all the time, it's nice to see you over-the-moon for something so special to you! 💗
My favorite hook size is “I”.
You deserve the hooks and so much more! You are precious to me!!
I love it when folks share happiness. Thank you to whoever sent the hooks and thanks, Crystal, for sharing your "happy" :)
I learnt crochet from my aunt. Made my first hook from a stick. Used it a long time at school. Made my wedding dress and hat
You deservice the best! DON'T EVER THINK YOU DON'T DESERVE SOMETHING. I wish I lived near you so we could spend hours looking at yarn and going to antique and discount basis. We could sit om your balcony and crocheting.. You have such a great personality. You are kind and generous. In my opinion, anyone who loves all animals and works to help them, is an angel. It seems you have a loving family. People adore you so they want to send gifts.
Wow!!!! There is no such thing as too many hooks. That is a thoughtful gift. My go to hook is “I”.
Oh our hook Hero has been hooked...!!! Enjoy your gift Crystal and accept it graciously. You deserve it because you are so kind and giving...have a great day. Love and light ❤ my favorite hook size is a 4mm..
I love hooks too, so I can appreciate your joy at getting something you didn’t have in your collection. 😊
My favorite hook size is J and H, those hooks are awesome, she knows you will care for them, some folks are just awesome. And yes you do deserve them. Look how excited you were, love it! Happy for you!
Oh, the excitement on your face when you saw the plastic Hero hooks!! My favorite is J and K...most of my projects get made with one or the other. However,,,I am currently working on a project that requires an H. It's a challenge...lol, but something I've wanted to make a long time.
Crystal, you are so kind and humble. You SO DESERVE all blessings that come your way.
❤❤❤
Hello Crystal, Happy Tuesday. Happy Mails are needed in our lives , Smile. Thanks for accepting .the Gift. I dream of getting some happy Mail one day. I use 4MM and 6mm and occasionally #.7.5MM . was taught to crochet using Threads so small hooks were the norm. Great Gift of hooks. Ninette Bird- Tx
Oh wow!!! This was super special watching you discover the plastic Hero hooks!!! What a treat to enjoy this with you, Crystal. I'm delighted that you let the person send them to you as they not only brought joy to you, but to all of us who watched this! My fave hook is my 4mm Tulip Etimo Rose hook! Then after that it's all of my Clover hooks. 🥰 Blessings from South Australia💕🐨
You're so sweet! But I understand completely.
Like you, I would rather give than receive but I have to remind myself that there are so many in this world that feel the same way. I'm so glad you let this wonderful person give those hooks to you. I can just imagine how much joy it brought her or him to see your excitement and I know it made their day. Plus, you really deserve it!
As for hook size, I like H, I, and J for the most part. They are much easier on the hand!
Rock on, Crystal! 🥰
"J" for Jill, of course. Hero for Herrschners yarn and clover amour for Red Heart. Clover for wool 😉 gotta have the right tool for the job 😉😘
I have a small collection of Hooks too. I have only one HERO hook that is a size I. My favorite hook that I use as much as I can is a BOYE size K. 6.5 mm. Crochet brings me joy, but with Arthritis and Neuropathy in my hands, the hook I use is very important as it basically allows me to do what I love to do without a lot of pain. I can tolerate the pain better when I can see the fruits of my work taking shape. Takes longer to see the fruits with a smaller hook. Bag O Day! Thank you for all your videos! You deserve much more than your know. Your videos are therapy for me!

Learned to crochet on a hero. That’s my favorite. I am 75. Years ago I sent you some yarn that was over 25 years old and I included Some hero hooks. I think I sent them under my middle name Ann
I'm so happy you got that beautiful gift and thanks to the person who sent them. My fav is an "I" cause when Crystal uses the "J" I have to use the "I" since I crochet a little bit loose.
I've been crocheting since I was 10 my favorite crochet hook is also a J. I'm gonna be 60 this year and just love watching your tutorials and yarn reviews. Thanks for sharing your love of hooks. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
You deserve every good thing that life hands you. Don’t denigrate yourself. I really like the I hooks though I tend to use J and K hooks a lot as well. I haven’t tried using my mom’s tiny hooks that she used for lace. I’ll need a magnifying glass to attempt them.
5.5, 6.0 and 6.5 are my favs….so nice of that person to make your day…you deserve it! 😊
My favorite hook is a G , I have a Hero G Hook my sister taught me how to crochet 🧶 and it was with a Hero Hook G, today is Sunday October 9,2023 I just now found my Hero going through my yarn, I thought I had lost it. I like to have never stop crying, my sister passed in May of2022 . My Hero was made in Germany 🇩🇪 God is so Good. I’m so happy I found my hook. I’m sorry my comment was so long Crystal. Stay safe and God Bless Always 🙏🏽🧶🤎 Joesy my sister taught me to crochet in the late70’s
Crystal I couldn’t be more happy for you. How thoughtful of a gift. I like a K hook too
What a blessing ❤ Thank you to the nice Lady that made you smile 🙏🏼🌷
OMG every time I go to a yard sale I'm looking for Hero. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge about crocheting with us. Hope you can take us along to some yard sales this summer. Hope you have a blessed day. Hugs for the BOD family.
I love to see you get excited, it is fun to watch and part of why you have such a following. You are such a genuine person in everything you do. Thank you for sharing your happy mail with us.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE when you get excited on a video! You are such a blessing to so many of us crocheters.
Crystal, you deserve the best.
My favorite size is J also. It just feels better. I use all sizes, but I, J, and K, seem to be my go to for most projects. Maybe because lately, the past few years, I am making projects, from your tutorials. I also, prefer boye, over Bates, although with Red Heart, I have to use a Susan Bates, because of the way it often splits, especially the ombre. I luckily found, that the Michael's loops and thread, J is nice to work with, and also an off brand from Amazon, Coopay, from China. I guess, you could say, I collect J hooks, too. Because the yarn and project, will speak to me, and I may have to try several hooks, before finding the right one. Sometimes it feels like choosing a magic wand.
Crystal, one Mom and Woman to another, work on feeling worthy. You are raising Men and Women, watching you. Much love to you Dear One. Thank you, for being you, and all you do. Blessings 🕊 ❤️ 🕯 😇 🙏 💚
I love an H or an I. I’m in-line all the way and love my Susan Bates hooks with the bamboo handles. 🙂💖🐈🐈⬛
Yay! It was so much fun to see you get excited over those Hero crochet hooks! You do so much for us with your tutorials and giveaways that it was really nice to see you receive something that you really enjoyed as well!
I’m also glad that you promote donations to animal shelters. This is a cause near and dear to my heart as well!
I am an "I" girl. My go to hook is Boye and I like the larger handles as my birthdays go by. Enjoy your "new" hooks.
Your excitement is amazing! I'm so glad you accepted the happy mail. I love to see how happy you are. I have some hero hooks in my small collection. I think my favorite is an I hook. That's what I use most. Blessings to the wonderful, thoughtful viewer!
I like a G and a #7.
And sometimes people want to find a really good home for things they've loved. So you don't really need to deserve them other than that they know you will love their special thing.
Crystal, I am so excited over all your Hero hooks! Like you, I only crochet with aluminum hooks. For over 25 years I used one hook and it was a Boye size K. Since I only made blankets, hats or scarves hook size didn't matter. A few years ago our kittypet, Rumples, hid my hook. We looked for over a month and I was mourning the loss of my hook because the newer Boye hooks had a sharper tip that I struggled to get used to. Then one day, when moving boxes under our bed we found my hook! It felt like Christmas. I actually hugged my hook.
Since I learned about crochet tutorial videos, like yours, I have learned about different size yarns and when you really need to use the right size hook, especially when crocheting clothes.
Still love my Boye K hook the most. I should retire it because I've used it for so long that I've worn the flat metallic paint off in areas and it leaves a gray smudge on my fingers but I just can't do it. 😁
Blessings!
Love your reaction and your humility in receiving gifts. What a lovely gesture.
You spread kindness, and you deserve kindness in return. They are beautiful hooks!
My favorite size is “I” hook. I love the Red Tulip Etimo set I bought on Etsy a few years ago so much. Super nice friend mail. A true treasure. Enjoy.
It's so nice to watch a humble and kind person, you do deserve it and more. 💗 My favorite book is J.
So sweet of someone. You are so loved and generous to us.
You are very deserving you give so much of your self and are so generous I bet we all feel like you are our best friend
You deserve all of it and more. You give so much to us through your videos. My favorite size is a H.
Silly, we all love you and appreciate very much all that you do for us. You give so much to others, so just say thank you and it’s wonderful that people care enough to bless you with little treasures. 💕🧶😘
I haven't crocheted long enough to figure out what my favorite is yet 😁 And you totally deserve getting stuff!! I'm glad you caved also.
Wow. This was great happy mail. I received a handful of used hooks in a giveaway. One of them was a hero. I love it. Thank you for sharing
My favorite crochet hook size is H. It's what I always used when a whipper snapper. 😂 Just got used to it. I have loads of hooks so I went through them and not one Hero but I have some Susan Bates and 2 Millward hooks. I get most of mine from thrift stores or yard sales. Thank you for sharing your happy mail with us. You deserve it! ♥️❤️♥️
Love the hooks! What a lovely gift. I knit and crochet, and I use all sizes of hooks and needles, making tiny doll clothes up to afghans/blankets.
Crystal thanks for sharing your happy mail. It is so nice to see you so happy. Have a wonderful day and week. My favorite hook size is I. ♥️
Yes you do deserve nice presents. You give people presents all the time but that’s not why you deserve them. Anyway Crystal my favourite size hook is. 4.5 to a 5. 😊
My favorite Is either a G or an H. But I do use J alot since most of your patterns are with that size. I use to use the real small ones when I use to make a lot of doilies, tablecloths and collars. What a great gift for you. I get really excited when someone gives me a bunch of old stuff like hooks and yarn. It's like your mystery bags.
My favorite size was a J 6mm. Hook. I use that size from 1970's until just a year ago . Now I use a K 6.5 mm. Hook . I use aluminum Hooks since I started crocheting . Mine are inline . I gave my old J Hook from the 1970's to my Cousin ( Amelia ) when she started crocheting . Now she knows more on some stitches than I do and better at reading a pattern . Love and Hugs .
I found a hero hook in my mother's thing after she passed away. I can't use it but when I see it it reminds me of you
Hi, Crystal. Those hooks are so cool 😎 I keep looking for hero hooks because of you. My ultimate wish though is to find a hook made from bone, that's a relic.
You so deserve happy mail. You are an AWESOME human. I love your videos and your positive spirit is
contagious. Thank you for just being you!
My favorite size is an E hook. I love sport and dk weight yarns as I make lots of baby items. I also have my mom's hero hooks. She taught me to crochet when I was 9, I am now 61. Thanks for all you do for your yarn peeps!!!!
My 6mm Hero is my absolute favorite hook! I was very lucky and had all of my great grandmother’s crochet and knitting supplies given to me when I was a teen. It’s so nice to see other people getting excited about Hero hooks! Most of my hooks and needles are vintage Bernat by Aero, but Heroes have a very special place in my heart and hand haha
I love how you get excited of what might appear to be the smallest of things to someone not familiar with our craft. Thank you to the generous person that sent you the hooks.
I have a couple older double end hooks from my aunt. No hero’s though. H, I, and J depending on the project. An E hook for amigurumi and I use metal hooks with thread but just use the recommended size, no favorite in metal hooks.
I am so glad you caved and let your gifter send you those hooks!! I like 6.5mm but have been using big clovers 12mm and up late
Y
So glad you got some of your favorite hooks..❣️
i hook is my favorite I learned with that size. Very nice of the person to send you those hooks! Glad they made you happy 😊
Wonderful to see you so excited over the hooks. What a great gift! Thanks for sharing with us.
How very kind of this person to send you quite a few of your favorite brand of crochet hooks.
My favorite is a "J" or "K", but I also crochet doilies; so I do use the small steel hooks, also.
Very sweet of her. Nice additions to the collection. J is my favorite
I love you do donations to animal charities. About 5 years ago we lost our Daisy girl it broke our hearts. About 3 days later the house was still sad. I found a rescue shelter called Canine gem where we found Bella who is a hound Pitbull mix. I have never got a dog through a rescue before. I would definitely go through a rescue place again. She had her put down date with situations in our family more so with Bella it’s who rescued who. It was an adjustment but Bella had been through soo many changes in a short time. We have had her for 5 years. Yes she’s part Pitbull but any breed can be mean it’s all about how their human raises them. She’s a lover. It’s taken along time for her to warm up to other dogs. With humans it’s very cut and dry she likes you or doesn’t like you.
Favorite hook is a "J/6mm"
my go to. This vid really tickled me and made me smile! Ah.....the joy of an unexpected gift! Well deserved for all you give to each & every devotee of crocheting!
