"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."

It's no secret that I love using Lion Brand worsted weight yarns. So what a treat it was to be able to work with a couple skeins of Lion Brand's new Heartland Yarn! It is hands down, one of the softest acrylic yarns I have ever crocheted with and as soon as I felt it, I knew it would be perfect for a baby hat.

I love that it holds up like a standard worsted weight yarn, but it has a silky softness like an expensive specialty yarn. Recommended uses are for garments, afghans and accessories but I could absolutely see it being used for a snuggly stuffed animal toy! The natural earth tones of the yarn are truly beautiful and feel organic. Each color is heathered which adds a nice depth and texture as well. The yarn is made in America, and all of the colors suggest landmarks.

I personally had the chance to use the light gray called Katmai, a dark purple called Hot Springs and dark blue called Olympic. The Katmai color was just right for a sweet little elephant hat, perfect for the heads of little newborns!
