conference motions and barnicals in row G

Today whilst sat in conference I managed to make 11 barnicals using a variety of crocket hooks to see the variety in stich between each:

2 x Chunky Grey (50% Acrylic and 50% wool)  wool using a 4mm crochet hook

5 x Chunky Grey (50% Acrylic and 50% wool) wool using a 5mm crocket hook

4 x Chunky Grey (50% Acrylic and 50% wool) wool using a 3.5mm crochet hook

I found that the smaller the hook, the tighter my stitches became and towards the end I found I was struggling with the 3.5mm hook. It seemed that you needed a lot of wrist action to work with this hook which at the moment I do not have. However I found a way around this where I hold the hook between my knees and loop the wool with one hand instead of two. I am hoping that after some practice I may be able to work my way up to finding a way of holding the hook and looping at the same time.
