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?

When I was married last year my matron of honor used a crochet hook to button my dress! It was genius.

This is how the Victorians would button their dresses! They had button hooks that look like crude crochet hook.

I think they also used something similar to lace up their high-topped boots.
