Ok this is so clever! I was just shopping for slip-on grips and wondering if I could make my own somehow, and I guess I manifested your video. Thanks for the great ideas!!
My Boye hooks are so smooth and easy and paid for. I tried a set of cushioned hooks but was disappointed in how my yarn dragged on them. The grips available online are expensive for an entire set of hooks.Your idea is ingenious and I already have yarn and hot glue! THANKS
This old woman thanks you for this video. I crochet everything almost fourteen hours a day and night since I turned 73. I found crocheting stopped my hands from becoming increasingly weak. But my old Susan Bates Tunisian hooks were cutting into my fingers because I'm lefthanded, so I'm hold my hooks differently than a righthanded person does. I did everything, but you're smart way of thinking by using yarn is fantastic. I was using the first-aid kit to wrapped my hooks which became a big mess. The heat from my hand would get the tape sticky. Loved your ideas...so much better.
I am sooooo happy that my video was helpful for you! I know what it's like to get discomfort from crocheting and we all look for was to make the craft we love "less painful" I'm so glad my video was helpful for you. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! These are great ideas! I was looking to purchase some grips online, your ideas are much better and I already have all the supplies. A great way to utilize my leftover yarn.
The yarn and hot glue is such a simple design but it looks fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing this with me. The silicone cover on my hook ripped mid project and it hurts too much to crochet without it. Plus I'm broke and can't buy more hooks right now. I'm trying your yarn and hot glue. Wish me luck!
Thank you for the video. You are very creative. I was just looking on Etsy this morning for a better Knitting loom hook. Those hooks are up to $40.00. I'm gonna try this out today.
Thank you so much for these fantastic ideas! Question on the blink one, Do you think it should be covered with hot glue so you still see the bling but you don't come in contact with the rhinestones on your hand or accidentally remove the rhinestones? Lastly how does the hot glue feel against your hands While you're crocheting is it tacky at all? And have you ever done a video showing how you did the crochet hooks covered with rubber bands? I love what you did!😁
Thanks Jill for your reply, to answer your questions, the crochet hook that I covered with bling, I love it...it is one of my favorites. The rhinestones don't bother me and they are comfortable. If you cover the with glue, the glue is opaque and you will not be able to see the rhinestones. As far as the hot glue coming in contact with your hands, it is not tacky but smooth. I hope this answers your questions. Happy Crocheting!
Wow those are cute! One thing I will say is hot glue I've used does yellow over time, it takes a few years but it will look dull and yellowy. Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone wants to take it into account. I wonder if the glitter glue sticks would look good?
Yes, it may yellow, but you would be more concerned about the function of the hook, verse the look. If the yarn is covering the glue, you won't see the yellowing anyway, and if the glue is covering the yarn, the yellowing will just blend into the color of the yarn underneath....Happy Crocheting!
After I got my crochet hooks ergonomic, for Christmas, I was ready to tackle the world of yarn but it collapsed! I can’t use those crochet hooks with some patterns , for example on a braid pattern where you have to do treble crochet stitches or long stitches, they don’t work ! The front part of hook isn’t long enough, you can’t add too many stitches like on a regular hook ! I like ergonomic bcoz it helps my arthritic hands but they don’t do job like regular ones . Maybe I need to invest in the Furls crochet hooks !
I'm so sorry to hear that and I do understand what you are talking about. Keep watching, I'll have a video uploaded in a few days that "may" help you with that...Thanks for your comment.
Thank you so much for this video! I've been looking for a way to make a fun grip. The ones you can buy can be so expensive. Plus, this is way more fun. :)
Amazing idea, thank you so much! This is probably a silly question considering it’s basically permanent - but if I wanted it off, would it be quicker and easier to just buy a new hook?
Thank you for this!!! Freakin genius!!! Now don’t be telling everyone ALL your good ideas, save a few for yourself and patent them!!!! Or make people pay a couple bucks to get the instructions 😉😉😉 it’s getting hard out here for most all folks and you gotta eat 😀🤑🤩

Don’t the rhynstones scratch your fingers?
I LOVE the coating it with hot glue look - it’s like budget resin without hazards fumes too! Thanks for sharing. I’m definitely gonna try!
Yes, I love them. Thanks for watching.

This is such a fun way to not only save your hands, but also to use up leftover yarn that are not enough for new projects. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for the tips! I was gifted a really nice set of wooden crochet hooks for Christmas, but my hands can't handle how slim they are.

Heres another idea. I wonder if that self adhering colored bandage that they use for like blood draws would work?
You know what....that sounds like a great idea! I'm sure it would work. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks.

Does it matter what yarn we can use, cotton or acrylic or wool. Which is best.
They all are good. It depends on the project that you are making.
Great Idea, 😊
i love you this is a genius idea
Thank you.
*Runs to find the glue gun* 🏃♀️🏃 ... thank you 😊
Can you show me how to make color Canon. Hooks grip please
I'm sorry, but I don't know what that is.
Tips for using a hot glue pot?
I'm not familiar with what a hot glue pot is...please inform me.
Does the glue get gross over time and use?
So far I haven't had any problems and it's been several months.
