Susan Bates Crochet Hook Cushion Grips 3.75"-2/Pkg

Product Information

Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. Cons: it has a rubbery texture, meant to avoid slipping of course, but it attracts lint and feels a little yucky at times. If I’m showing a person how to do a stitch on their work and they have a boye brand hook, I have to remove their hook and use one of mine.

Today I am using that to go right back to the fundamentals and look at one of our two most important tools. As someone well on their way to developing carpel tunnel, this handle has already made a difference.They have a grip that looks and feels like it’s made of silicone, so they don’t slide in your hands, and you don’t have to grip tightly. Experimenting with various grip styles can allow you to find your most natural and comfortable hand position, ultimately improving your crocheting experience and the quality of your projects. I’m not entirely sure where my forefinger and thumb are supposed to rest on the hook – is there a preferred way to hold it?

In both cases, make sure the sample is large enough for you to fully get into the swing of each technique.For folks with larger hands than mine you might want to cut the liner even wider to extend the length of your hook. Admittedly, I did it again where I had trouble inserting the hook because I opted not to use a dab of soap (like it totally says to in the instructions, lol). By understanding what goes into those little crochet magic wands, you can consider how these features might work with your crochet style, experiment and answer this question for yourself. The original owner sold it to the current owner who has had trouble marketing it and keeping an online presence. I’ve had a quick Google and unfortunately it looks like the company has gone out of business, Laura.
