Lol :laughing: I would try to try to push it up so the metal doesnā€™t show, and maybe tape it or hot glue it down :relaxed:

@NoKittenAroundStudio, the grippy crochet hook DID come out the bottom end. I have no idea how lolā€‹:joy:

i asked my bf about the hot glue gun (he has a chemistry diploma or sth) and he said itā€™s rubber (i think is called in English, that material that tires have) and it will just end up with a hole and/or catch on fire :frowning:
also the scotch I tried and itā€™s waaay too annoying
I have another 3mm hook but itā€™s made of plastic and itā€™s bigger so it measures like a 3.5 metal hook instead :slight_smile:

You can buy replacements for those that will fit most hooks, they also sell a product you can dip metal tools into to make a soft grip handle

Not knowing where you areā€¦ The most basic and common brands here is Susan Bates and Boye. They can be purchased almost anywhere here and on Amazon or custom made ones on etsy

Iā€™m outside the US or America, Iā€™m in Romania, Europe (i tend to mention this because not many people have heard of this country even though itā€™s kinda big lol) and honestly, I have no idea what I have xD
I bought it separately and it didnā€™t say(or I didnā€™t see) the name on her package

how have people not heard of Romania?! lol
not knowing your merchant preferences, replacement soft handles that will slip onto your hook do exist, you can also check out a hardware store to see if they have the slip-on replacements for tool handles that will fitā€¦ at worse, they also have the slip on soft grips that are made for pencils. You shouldnā€™t have to replace the hook.

honestly idk, whenever I talked with people from other countries (or usually the USA) theyā€™re like ā€œRoMaNiA iS a CoUnTrY??ā€ or stuff like that :joy:
I didnā€™t know what a hardware store is so I looked it up lol
Apparently, we have 5 in the capital
The problem is that if I go there I might run out of money :joy:

You might be able to get some clay that air dries in a toy store?
YouTube might have some tutorials on how to make a clay hook handle.
