Judyjo, Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Crazy weekend!! The rubbery thingy I bought at Hobby Lobby in Lfayette, La some years ago but I would think any thread shop would sell them. Also if you put just a tiny bit of dish detergent or hand lotion on the steel hook it will slide right into the rubber thingy. AND slide the steel hook in butt end first!! The hook end has a tendency to catch if going the other way. Hope this helps!!

Thanks a lot. I'll look next time I go to Joann's or AC Moore.

Those are wonderful. You do beautiful work.
I have some that my grandmother made. Women in those days seemed to do everything... sew clothes, knit, crochet, quilt, embroider. I plan on making a quilt with pieces of her work in it. |
Pineapples are my favorite. Aren't they fun to make!

You do beautiful work. The most crocheting I could master was simple afghans.

judyjo "I have been crocheting since I was 8 yrs old and I am now 60 yrs old, so I have done it for a long time. Two years ago I became paralyzed with MS and could only move my left hand a little bit left and right. I was about to go crazy not being able to do anything. The therapist gave me a large wooden crochet hook and then slid a large foam tube on the handle so I could grip the hook. It has taken me about 8 months but I now am able to crochet and so I can get back to my love of making items. I bought several foam tubes and put them on my regular hooks and they work great. So if you have a problem don't give up, you can figure a way to do it. If I can, so can you. These plastic foam tubes are found in the plumbing section at your hardware store, take a crochet hook with you because the center hole is different sizes on them.
