"I have the same problem. I purchased gloves with thumb supports. They are made by IMAK and have flexible stabilizers in the thumb for support. I buy them online. They have made an enormous difference for me."

"The pattern isnt wrong. You have to use a a specific yarn that is wide and like a netting, such as Katia Ondas or the stated Rigoletto and not just ordinary yarn."

"i, too, have arthritis and was amazed at how much "softer" (and warmer!) bamboo hooks are compared to cold, hard metal hooks! i have replaced all my metal hooks with bamboo... and may try the pen trick, too. great article and will save it in my "knit/crochet" file! thanks!"

"I have severe RA. I crochet but I have to listen closely to my body, and stop when I need to. If I don't I am not able to crochet the next day. If I really push myself like I did at Christmas (2018) I am unable to crochet a lot for a long time. As crocheters we like to play "just one more row", but with severe RA I play "just one more stitch". When I started crocheting again after my diagnosis, I had to get some ergonomic crochet hooks. I started out with Boye ergonomic hooks because they are cheaper to see how I like the ergonomic hooks. After a year, I got a set of Clover Amour Hooks, which I love so much."

"Hi melainegouws 95435 32 I use to have the same problem. When it would start hurting badly, I would take a cheap plastic spoon and break off the spoon part. I would then tape the handle from the spoon and tape (I used masking tape) it under my thumb where I needed support. I would leave it on two days straight (my days off). It's not pretty but it helps. You can use popsicle sticks or anything you have. I would keep my little thumb support and use it whenever I needed it. It helped me so much. Maybe it will help you."

Drew Emborsky, aka The Crochet Dude, was taught to crochet at age five by his mom while snowbound in Lake Tahoe. After studying fine arts in college and doing the "starving artist" thing for a few years, he found solace in crocheting for charity while grieving the passing of his mother. It was during this time with the charity group that he became known as "The Crochet Dude", which then led to the launch of his wildly popular blog in 2005.

Drew blogs and creates from his studio in Houston, TX with his cats Chandler and Cleocatra.

Drew is the crochet expert on the hit show Knit & Crochet Now! airing currently on PBS nationwide.

He has been featured in national publications including BUST Magazine, Interweave Crochet, Knit.1, Knit 'n Style, Knit Simple, and Crochet Today!, as well as international newspapers such as The Sunday Telegraph (in London).

I have problems crocheting the Cabled Vest , EC00343, I cannot understand where you connect the yarn after doing the ribbing. How can I reduce the number of stitches from 151 to 76? Please e-mail me at myrtle.barrette@yahoo.com.
