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

I have no idea about the gadget, but people have suggested working
with linen flax slightly wet; apparently the wetting softens it.

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!

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.
