I just cannot figure out where they go, how they disappear. I don't know if this happens to knitters with their needles. Perhaps not. Knitting needles are much longer than the shorter crochet hooks.
Every once in a while I have to give in and buy one or two new ones. I'm wondering if I should break down and buy them by the gross. Might be more economical. And the way it is going, I might have enough for a month or two.
Yep, there has to be one of these monsters out there, lurking near every crochet project in the works, in every crocheter's work area. I could bait a trap with a phony G hook. But I don't know how big he or she is, so I'm not sure how big a trap to set.
If I ever do catch this G-or-H-Hook-Gobbler, and if I find all my missing hooks, and more, I'll let you know so you can claim yours, too.

Perhaps he hangs out with the monster that steals one sock from each pair. If you can find that monster, I'd be very appreciative. ;)
God works in miraculous ways, because my family happens to have quite a few G & H Hooks. I hope that doesn't make us the G-or-H-Hook-Gobbler. Rather, we have them for sell if ever you need them.

That is so funny, Christina. No, I promise you, I won't suspect any of you of being the mysterious G-or-H-Hook-Gobbler! I found your store on Etsy, by the way, and Convo'd you. I think I'll check for an answer - your prices are great!

I have a recliner that eats all crochet hooks and knitting needles that come near it. I love to knit and crochet while in my recliner. I still haven't found my one knitting needle! LOL If I've had a dollar for everytime I've tipped the recliner looking for hooks or knitting needles. I'd be able to finance a cruise to Alaska!
The recliner! Of course - Wendy, I do believe the Gobbler must be hiding in the recliner. The one I use is really a lift-chair my dear departed friend had - it is VERY heavy but I might be able to "raise" the motorized footrest, grab a flashlight, and try to find those hooks!
Now, the sock-scavener, that is another thing. Gotta work on that one.
Hugs to all
Evie
