Boye Interchangeable Hooks What's Old Is New Again

I used a Hobby Lobby 40% off coupon to buy the a new Boye interchangeable crochet hook set.

I just had to have a set to compare to the set that Boye made in the 1930's.



What do you think?

I like the case on the new hooks but think the old ones are better looking.

You can order the new INTERCHANGEABLE HEAD CROCHET HOOK SET from Amazon...the vintage one you'll have to order from me.

I found a pattern for a lovely shawl this morning.
My granddaughter is getting married and I'd like to start a shawl to wear to the wedding. The directions call for a #8 plastic hook....no letters given.
I have none, as I always found them a little hard to work with.
Do you have any idea how they compare in size?
I won't get out until wednesday and would like to practice the stitch in the meantime. Thank you very much.....Jean Foster
