I may take up crochet.
Is it a good idea?

crochet is awesome fun
Crochet is to knitting as unicycling is to bicycling. It's what the cool kids do

Give me a link to some decent, cheap hooks online and I'll order them.

hooks are really cheap
like a couple of quid from your local craft shop/market. even cheaper in charity shops.

Start with a 4mm or 4.5mm and get a ball of double knit to practise with

Will keep my eyes peeled. There's a shop selling wool for a quid in Butterfly Walk
I'll pop in and see if they sell hooks, too.

CTB regaled me for about half an hour while we were drunk about how awesome it is.

He did go to Dulwich College, so he has an excuse.
