Lookie, lookie what my sweet DH made for me...
I have arthritis in my hands around the thumbs.. and crocheting has become a bit achey for me..
Well DH recently made our Harry Potter loving granddaughter a H.P. Wand...
I was looking at it and while holding it, found it to be quit comfortable.. so I asked DH if he could make a handle and insert a crochet hook for me...
Yeppers,, That man of mine is Genius!
I even tested it out and what a difference...
So he is out in his wood shop making another one.
Now I have a size I and a J crochet hook.
I have seen nice, cushioned crochet hooks, but then I look at the price tag,, and pass on them..
I love my DH...

WOW, what a great solution to crocheting with arthritis!! Your sweet Hubby did an awesome job out there in his wood shop!! I too have some stiffness and pain in my hands that makes knitting and crocheting more painful if I do it for too long. I also can’t use those little needles anymore required to knit socks. All my socks now have to be with thicker yarn and even then, I can’t work for hours on end like I could do. UGH, this getting old is getting in my way of doing fine handwork!!

One nice husband! One lucky wife!
I have RA and my hands and wrists are bad. I had 4 trigger fingers and carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand last year with great success. However, from using my thumb so much, it's a trigger finger now. It gets caught so bad I can't release it easily. Hurts like crazy! I've only started crocheting the last few months. We take our hands for granted!
Be Blessed and Be a Blessing,

Oh Gracie Grace,
Why on Earth would you even consider those expensive store bought cushy ones, that may wear out, when Mr Katdad can make a set of beautiful, awesome family heirlooms that you can pass on to another family member that YOU taught to crochet. What a legacy!

My hubby made me a capo for my dulcimer. I could have bought one fairly cheap but the one he made means so much more because he made it.
