I'm looking for a source for short crochet hooks in various sizes.

A friend of mine was recently institutionalized, and the rules are
pretty tight about what kinds of things she's allowed to have.
Specifically, they allow crochet hooks, as long as the hooks are
plastic and less than four inches long. I've never seen any that fit
this description; has anyone else run into this?

Thanks,
Chris

What about hot-wiring (or hack-sawing) the end off one so it fits the
specs? Sand or melt it smooth and your set.

Sounds like a daft rule to me!

But plastic hooks could be cut down.

It used to be the Rule for the size of folding scout knives that were
allowed to be taken on board airplanes pre 9/11.

Americans sometimes as me for bone needles to work their cross stitch on
planes because they're not allowed to take steel ones.

But a bone needle can do as much damage as a steel one ...
