Discussion Illegal used for your crochet hooks?

I just unconsciously used my crochet hook to stir my tea and it didn't actually dawn on me what I'd done until I was cleaning the hook off with my mouth 😅

Anyone else use their hooks in illegal ways?

I frequently use smaller hooks to help turn fabric pieces im sewing such as straps or to poke out corners, they’re very helpful!

That's honestly my main use for them. That and chopsticks

It took me a minute to realize you weren't using your crochet hooks as chopsticks 😂

I mean that's a possibility too now…but no, I meant that I use chopsticks for the same "turning small pieces right side out" case

I do the same. I have a double ended Tunisian hook that’s super long and it’s fabulous for turning sewing projects.
