How do you hold your fabric? I hold my fabric and tension with my left hand.

Kimberly you are so funny and entertaining to watch. I love the way you justify buying more hooks and yarn. We are of the same mind girl!!

Looks like quite a clever little helper... You probably get better with practice... Cool

Wish I can use Ophire and Furls hooks. Bought a Furls a couple of years ago and the shaft is too big for my hand. I have arthritis in my hands. I’m a pencil holder. I think Ophire hooks would be the same for me.😢. Love the way they look.🥰

Nice review. Your nails r very pretty!

Sooo bummed as our exchange rate in Canada is at a very high rate & can’t order. 😢 my favorite hooks are the Dots from WeCrochet which came in a mystery box which I would highly recommend thanks to your former review & suggestion ❤

Such an enabler i have my ophire order arriving tomorrow 380 wortjh it cos 86 shipping to Australia 🇦🇺

I got this last month and it has been a game changer. Due to arthritis I have lost a lot of use in my left hand, being unable to fully bend all but my ring and pinky finger leaving me able to 'crab pinch/hold' with the rest as they don't bend much at all anymore. This tool has allowed me to crochet with out issue as I can crab hold my project with this between my fingers and work away. I would recommend watching the videos from Crochetobe as it makes it clearer how to use it then the booklet does, but I highly recommend if you have any kind of hand mobility issues or yeah, if you are new to the hobby. I'll also say: This product does have negative reviews on it, yet most I saw when I was looking to order mine were from people saying it was 'strange' or 'weird' due to well, being a new thing and they already proficient at doing it the normal way using hand and fingers to control the yarn. Something I find dumb to give something a lower review score because your not used to using something. But once you are used to it it is amazing in how well it works.

Tool: nope

I have MS and I have enough problems with just the hook and yarn. I've been crocheting since I was a kid, but when I was diagnosed with MS, and it started affecting my hands, just the slightest of pressure causes the nerves in my fingers and my hands to hurt really bad. I can see how this might help new crocheters and someone who doesn't have nerve pain in the hands and fingers.

I do a lot of planned pooling (which requires varied tension in stitches) and mosaic crochet (continuous color changes)... I can't see myself using a gadget like this. But I agree with another poster, mama llama Kayla might benefit greatly.

I have these hooks & I LOVE the hook and the handle! But the shaft grips my yarn (worsted) SO bad! Any advice? Has anyone else had this issue?😢

Gadget not for everyone but I could see its usability, just not for me. It would be a specific disability to need one of these. Would be of 0 help for mine.

I wonder if Mama Llama Kayla could find that helpful? Having lost 7 fingers now what she has adapted to is amazing but anything that would help is wonderful!

Wow you really are extremely qualified to teach yoga to seniors. I am not a senior, but I do have a senior body with many ailments. I would love to do yoga for seniors! Why not start a yoga channel for us!🤣🤣 I love Peggy’s squares! Loved your blanket 😊

Blankets are looking beautiful, great job ❤

Oh Kimberly keep educating everybody about "the forgotten population". Teach the value of seniors. Thank you

I can see red or cranberry with the blue and white squares.

You'll have to give your delivery guy a big gift certificate😮

Aww, so nice. The finished blanket is beautiful. You're doing good work. Have a wonderful week. See you soon.

Very pretty blanket!! You and Mumsy r doing a great job! Enjoy the Holiday weekend!

What a palaver ! As someone who has crocheted since age ~8 ( almost 60 years now 😱) mostly using a Nr 20 cotton, a 1.25mm hook and never wound the cotton round more than one finger this gadget just makes crocheting look really difficult, would I have to give up my pencil-hold technique? Not for me . Thank you for trying this out so I don’t have to

Would be backwards for us lefties.

I love my Tulip Hooks.

I am a nurse practitioner and this could really help someone who has had a stroke or partial amputation too. I know nonmedical needs can use it but all I could think of when I watched you was a young woman who was in a car accident who lost 3 fingers who I crocheted with sometimes and I am sending her the video. Everyone sees this and finds a different use!

Does not seem to be very practical if you are going to crochet a large size project. People have crocheted for years and managed to learn how to control their tension.

I thought I was going to need shoulder surgery and I was investigating anything that might help me hold yarn while I recuperated. I think this gadget would be good for that! For now, I don’t need surgery and my tension is good, so I will pass but I think this has a potential market. Thanks for demoing it for us to see.

That looks cumbersome. Not for me.

Okay so....I haven't even finished your video but I plan on it. I bought this very thing because I have carpal tunnel. I also still struggle with my tension. I took this thing out of the box and looked at the instructions. For me, I couldn't figure it out. So far on your video I'm understanding it a lot better. Though I'm a bit scared to try it again. But I think I may manage it after you walked us through it. I imagine though it won't be my go to tool.

My tension do change depending on my anxiety or how stressed/relax I am... but this is a no for me too clumsy for me 😅

I would not like this. It would be grabbing the wrong string. It seems cumbersome to me.

I have finger issues so this would really help. I wonder if you could do a whole project with this gadget?

More trouble than it worth!

That is a definite NOPE for me! I’m a tool/gadget kinda gal, but this would drive me crazy! Thanks for showing it Kimberly!

I do not wanna be that person 🧍 but open the door 🚪 here I am 😂. Loving entrepreneurship and making cash 💰 BUT wtf is this travesty. How did it make it through workshopping and who tested it. It’s not balanced and the design is what I think Dr Suess would make to make crochet ridiculous. 👏🏻 this is a hard pass .

A solution to a problem that didn’t need to be solved 😂

Also the magic circle has always eluded me so perhaps it is worth a shit.

I do have trouble with tension. For a foundation chain or I-cord it might be useful for me but for other things I am not sure. I have never had great success with any other tensioning device.

Nice review, hard pass for me. A couple of years ago, I made a tension/yarn guide ring with some 20 gauge copper wire. It fits on my index finger, and it works well for me. That tool seems too fiddly.
