Crocheting with plastic twine was a lot harder than I thought it would be.
First I thought I'd make a Starling Handbag with it, but the hook I picked stuck to the plastic twine terribly.  I felt like I was wrestling an alligator.  My whole arm was tired by the time I got this bottom done.

Next I tried a larger hook size, thinking that would resolve the sticky problem.  It helped a little, but it was still super sticky.

Then I tried one of my jumbo plastic hooks and it slid through the plastic twine much easier.  But everything was super floppy.  I was thinking I'd make a basket for the kitchen to hold onions or something, but this think looks pretty dumb.

I think the tape trick would probably solve the sticky problem with the metal hooks, but I don't want the headache of sticky tape residue on my hooks.

This blue circle was made with my slick metal N hook, and it worked so much better than the smaller metal hooks and the plastic hooks.

I'll show you what I finally came up with in my next post.  Ahhhh, the anticipation! ;)
