Now, since I actually have smaller yarns — my on-hand Canon & Monaco yarns…
I decided to get me 4 new Susan Bates Hooks today which is a lot more smaller than the 1st set of hooks I purchased… =)

-> 2.25mm (which I think would be ok with thin yarns),
-> 2.75mm
-> 3.25mm and
-> 3.50mm

The new addition to my crochet tools family =)

… Now I just have to save so I can get me 2 more Susan Bates hooks, the 9.00mm and the 10.00mm. :)

 
still Susan Bates!!!

 I love the hooks above because I find it more comfortable using  them… They’re smooth, easy to use and most of all, doesn’t affect my carpal tunnel syndrome. ;)
