How do you hold your hook?

[Kylieee]

So, how do you hold your hook, like a knife or a pencil. (I’m sure most of not all of you know about these types of techniques.) or if you don’t use either method and you do what is most comfortable. I do was is most comfortable and I call it *the butterfly * so, I call it this because my pinky finger flys up when I hook. Here is a pic of my finger

pay attention to the pinky finger

It’s really weird…

So I want to know how you hold your hook! And if you have a funny way to hold, give it a name and a pic!!
