I’m thinking an N hook but that might change. As for the size… I have dreams of BIG but we will have to see. I’m starting with an oval shaped bottom and I’d like that o be at least 4 inches by 12 inches.
I ran out of yarn to finish my baby blanket (doh!) so I am working on a Jayne Cobb hat pattern I made for a Christmas present. Hope the hooking goes well, can’t wait to see pictures!
You’ve undoubtedly seen the knitter’s hand exercises on You Tube, etc. will say, since I have been keeping a little super ball in my knitting bag, and doing the exercises, my hands are feeling better! The other one I like is to take each finger in turn, wrap opposite hand around it, pull gently, and hold for a minute or two. Really helps, even as an “oldie”

Well, gee…I’m envious! Just out of curiosity, what size hook? Have you figured how big the goodie is going to be?

Sounds like a GREAT weekend project.
Now I have envy. I may need a Jayne hat too….
Always happy to share the pattern if you want it 🙂
Sounds like a perfect weekend plan. Hope you’re having a grand time!
I’m cranking away at it. Its a bit stiffer than I’m used to and my hands give out quick with that rag yarn. Maybe I’m just wimpy!
But i want a nice bag so I’m motivated,

A super ball is nice. I make do with an old tennis ball. 🙂
Its going pretty well so far. I’ve managed to get all the joins in the “yarn” to land o the inside so none show on the outside.
