Both say they are size 13 but they are obviously two different sizes...<br /><br />Guess its a mixed bag but I can't resist the old wood hooks! i'm still herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00823966221858632238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20658369.post-42133759777617833182012-08-07T14:11:58.232-04:002012-08-07T14:11:58.232-04:00This is true of "regular" crochet hooks,...This is true of "regular" crochet hooks, too. When I'm working on a long term project, I always write down the brand and size of hook I'm using so I can pick up the right one after a break.Marie/Underground Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698493852757742648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20658369.post-43177431311920612412012-08-07T11:49:10.120-04:002012-08-07T11:49:10.120-04:00You're right..quite a lot about the hook chang...You're right..quite a lot about the hook changes the guage and each is a little different. <br />I've got a swatching experiment of my own going on over at www.crochethappy.com (yes, that's a shameless plug of my own website). I've been hooking squares w/different branded H size hooks and, believe me, no two are the same!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17695208044531013820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20658369.post-68580219860528943052012-08-07T11:38:24.428-04:002012-08-07T11:38:24.428-04:00Even though the yarn is the same the gauge can cha...Even though the yarn is the same the gauge can change within the same skein, nevermind a different skein. I'm surprised you haven't seen that yourself as much as you crochet. I get very frustrated sometimes because you can actually see it in the finished product.Chain Stitch Crochethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865611172125103299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20658369.post-33355745601363848812012-08-07T07:09:33.367-04:002012-08-07T07:09:33.367-04:00I have recently bought two hooks made in Russia.

And I find it's harder to use the size gauges on crochet hooks than knitting needles, don't you?Way Out Wearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11806794241952158361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20658369.post-80313813726290067322012-08-06T17:14:56.445-04:002012-08-06T17:14:56.445-04:00Love this!

You know, a rose is a rose is a rose - not. :)Voie de Viehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863741631512546821noreply@blogger.com
