[NFB-Krafters-Korner] loom knitting and sore finger

[Sarah Calhoun]

Hi Bernice,

I use the loom tool made by Yarnolagy (sp). There is an indentation on both
sides of the tool handle. I place my index finger in the indention away from
me, and my thumb is in the indention facing me. I use this tool with every
loom project. I have the tool that is round all over the handle, but find it
difficult and uncomfortable to use.

You can purchase the Yarnolagy at Hobby Lobby for around $3.00 or $4.00. I
haven't looked on Amazon, but they might have them as well. Happy looming!

Best,
Sarah

Good afternoon loomers,

I'm wondering how you keep from getting a sore finger when you loom knit? I
hold the tool like a pencil, and the first joint on my middle finger is
getting sore. Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks,
