2nd New J Hook

I got a "2nd new" J hook about a week ago. It's the pretty blue one. I bet you're wondering why I call it the "2nd new" J hook. Well, you see....I lost the "1st new" J hook somewhere between Wal-Mart and my house. *sigh* *total bummer* And as much as I have loved using my "old" J hook, it just wasn't cutting it anymore. All the paint is worn off the tip and there are lots of little nicks and scratches in the paint and it kept catching on the yarn. I just hated to break it out and use it. But, you'll be happy to hear that I am not "throwing it out" but just retiring it to the hook holder to give advice and pointers to the other younger hooks resting beside him. :)
