I'm on a mission, does anyone know where I can find a pattern for a blanket using the long crochet hook? (Anyone selling one of those hooks)?

It sounds like you are looking for an afghan crochet hook which can also be called a tunisian crochet hook if it is a long crochet hook (length of 10" or more).

You can read more about the different kinds of crochet hooks (http://www.angelfire.com/mi4/cinnaminn_s/index1.html) at my site and I do have some links (http://www.angelfire.com/mi4/cinnaminn_s/usefullinks.html) there for some different places to buy the hooks at. (I have all kinds of information and links at my site [helps/hints/tutorials, etc.] so you may want to bookmark it for future use/reference.)

Depending on what size and length of afghan/tunisian crochet hook you want, you should be able to find them in probably a limited amount/size (ranging from a size G to a size K or L, 10-14" long) in local stores in your area like Joann, Wal-Mart, Hobby Lobby, Michaels, etc. You can also find them available online like at Joann.com (http://www.joann.com/), Herrschners (http://www.herrschners.com/) or CraftEtc (http://www.craftsetc.com/).

If you are looking for the larger size/longer length of afghan/tunisian crochet hooks, it's easier to find/buy them online like the MoEZ hooks (http://www.moezunlimited.com/hooks/about-hooks.html) or Twin Birch hooks (http://www.twinbirchproducts.com/).

I don't sell any hooks but I do have a lot of (almost) free graph patterns available at my site - the only thing that I ask in return for use of my graphs are photos of the completed item(s) made from my graphs. My graphs are for personal use only and not for resale.

HTH! :hook
