Happy Turkey Day!
Been quite some time since I've been able to 'be here' but I've a turn
for the better health-wise, but no promises as to how often I'll be back. It's been a very difficult summer with surgery a coupla weeks ago. now it'll be a 2/3 month recovery time. Mainly been reading and after 8 years have finally finished a Granny Square crocheted afghan, my next goal is a Knitted Ripple Afghan in shades of purple for MOI! Yuppers!! for moi. May be a long time doing it as I can't knit very long periods anymore.but I WILL get it done. No sewing at all this year and I have 2 rows left on an I SPY...baby celebrated his 2nd HB on Mr Joe's HB......oh well, it may end up being a Superman Cape Gotta get my feetz back up so you all take care and have a superb Turkey Day. (Kidlets are doing the dinner) Cyberhugs and Butterfly Kisses Butterfly |

Happy Turkey Day!
Thanks. I haven't been able to 'hand sew' in years...very hard to hold a
small needle. I'm just happy to be able to hold a larger crochet hook and now will try knitting needles. Knitting needles may be a challenge for the R hand as I don't have that much dexterity in it---I'll try both American and Continental style to see which I can do easier. It's so nice being able to do a lil creative work. Kidlets did well with the Turkey dinner----------only help I needed to give was with the carving....next yr I should be able to 'just visit' Butterfly Bobbie Sews More wrote: "Butterfly-Wings" wrote in message ...

Have you considered getting someone to wrap masking tape around the part of
the knitting needles and the crochet hook that you hold? Maybe a lot of layers of tape would make it easier for the fingers! Hope this helps! Barbara "Butterfly-Wings" wrote in message ... Thanks.

Happy Turkey Day!
They make sleeves for crochet hooks to make them easier to hold.
Such things do not work so well for knitting needles as you have to hold the work on the needles. However you can get either in wood, which IMHO is a lot easier to hang on to and work with, especially for knitting. Now I am cripplingly right handed. To the point where I cannot crochet the double ended tunisian stitch, nor knit continental style. So I should imagine that if you are better with your left hand than your right, those would be the way to go!
