    I couldn't find where I read that about putting a pillow under you dominant hand when crocheting so I googled it https://www.google.com/search?client...+dominant+hand I looked to see what it said about if arthritis is bad for crocheting? or if it's good for knitting? I don't have arthritis. It was interesting what it said about warm water.
