I bought a ChiaoGoo crochet hook with a wooden handle size 16/0.6mm. Worked wonderfully. Got it online at Earthfaire....<BR/><BR/>So, was the Costa Rica medical mission successful?

Have you thought of trying Oral B super floss instead of a crochet hook for beads with tiny holes? Apparently it can work quite well.

Beautiful bold colors that actually look fantastic though you might not think so just looking at that skein.
