Cro-Knit Tension Keeper
I just saw this in the new Patternworks that came to my house yesterday
and wondered if anyone has tried it. I think it might make my hands less sore . I don't have any problem with thick yarns but this linen flax is so thin some how and seems to be hard to work on my hand in a way. Other lace work I have done seems the same. I would be interested in seeing if anyone else has used this and if it works.barbara |

Thanks Tamar. Well I have heard from one person on this gadget who
stated it broke the first time she used it. Guess I am back to hand cramps! I only get them with thin thin yarn..... |

oups.com... Thanks Tamar. Well I have heard from one person on this gadget who stated it broke the first time she used it. Guess I am back to hand cramps! I only get them with thin thin yarn..... That would be maddening to have it break on the first use. I hope she got her money back! Umm, are you new to rcty? If so, welcome! If not, forgive me not noticing you before! ;o) Peace! Gemini |

[quote=bdiane;473235]Thanks Tamar. Well I have heard from one person on this gadget who
stated it broke the first time she used it.QUOTE] I just received mine yesterday. I crochet and knit. I have yet to make any progress. I had my engineer husband and my gadget-savvy daughter try to help me. I had a stroke in March 2008 and have no grip in my left hand. Consequently, I am unable to control the yarn with my left hand. I am disappointed and frustrated but may have expected too much from this device. Any suggestions? |

I must apologize. My previous review was for the Kroh's Crochet Aid. I was looking into getting a cro-knit tension keeper.
