I have a pencil grip and my hand doesn't touch the metal tip it's lower on the plastic handle. The metal Susan bate hooks I have are very old and I haven't used them in more than 15 years and I never had that happen to me. With the handle I have had a bit of peel and the Susan Bates name on the plastic rub off a bit. Also my hands tend to be very very dry too so I've never had issues of any hook colors rubbing off on me. I did have that happen with the blue yarn from an O-go Peacock colorway.

Joanne Hiller You're welcome. I hope your aquatic aerobics class went well. I hope to feel better and have more energy so I can start going to classes like those. I saw a very nice post today on my YouTube feed with this stitch, theirs looks like it has less gaps than the pattern below from the Crochet crowd and they also used it to make a hexi cardi which I thought looked sooo pretty!! I haven't watched the videos yet but here are the links below. These YouTube channels are new to me too so not sure about the quality of their videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=051xIu800AA&t=11s
