What does one need to crochet? Until recently, I would have said yarn, a hook, a pattern, and scissors. Then my daughter in law gave me an "ergonomic aluminum crochet handle". It came with 8 little rubbery discs, color coded for ease in putting each on the proper size hook. It kind of looks like a two toned egg. It twists apart to put a hook in. Made by Boye, the company which makes crochet hooks. She found it at Michael's (the craft store).
I thought it looked weird, but I went ahead and tried it. I was amazed at how comfortable it was to hold.
Normally, I don't crochet very long with plarn at any one time. The small hooks press uncomfortably into my fingers. This handle stopped that. I was able to crochet with plarn for hours.
Now, my list of crocheting essentials includes my handle.
