I snapped

It happened last night. It was inevitable, something I had already prepared for.
Plastic hooks just aren't as sturdy as the aluminium ones. Luckily I have both plastic and aluminium ones, and while I don't have the I hook in aluminium, I will eventually get it.
I did tape this together, but honestly I ended up just going down a size and grabbing an H aluminium hook.
Photo is mine, sent to friends on snapchat and then saved so I could share here.

It's a crochet hook. I taped it together, but it's snapped in half. If you look towards the left of the picture, you can see the tape.

@Janet357 Right, sorry. I just took the picture on my bed since I was sitting on it when crocheting last night.

@ScribbledAdNauseum ok. I was actually thinking it was a quilt but i said no, it is not.

The aluminium ones definitely feel much nicer. I am glad that I had bought some aluminium ones too.

Oh well, I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later.

Right, I knew it would. I like the aluminium ones better anyway, but the plastic ones were affordable at the time I bought them.

I only use the aluminum ones for that reason....plastic ones always broke on me.
I had to laugh when I read your post because I thought you had snapped and gone off on someone

Wrote it that way on purpose
I found a set of crochet hooks for $7 on ebay that I might get. All aluminum.

I'm glad you had another hook you could use. I have a set of aluminum crochet hooks.

I am going to get a set of aluminium hooks I saw on ebay. It's $7 and seems to be all but the biggest (afghan / tunisian) hooks.

@LindaOHio All in a nifty zip up case too. That's one thing I've been wondering about.. Right now I have my hooks, yarn and yarn needles all on the same shelf. I am thinking I'll love the hooks to the top drawer in my plastic dresser, but am not sure.

I open and use it because that is one of the only ways I communicate with friends unless I see them in person.

@sophie09 Sometimes we video chat through facebook, but yes. If I am not seeing them in person, we chat via snapchat.
