One of the first questions I ever ask people when I discover that they crochet, is whether they hold their hook overhand or underhand? I'm self taught and I found it easier to hold my hook inside the palm of my hand, which I call overhand. I have tried to hold it the other way and I'm just all thumbs then. It's kind of like me trying to knit.....I'm all thumbs there too. I just can't seem to coordinate it. ha ha.
How do you hold your hook?
