I found Addi Swing Crochet Hooks, My hand gets all cramped up when I use regular crochet hooks. These Addi Swings does not do that. They are soft also. And your hands and fingers are stretched out to a comfortable hold. Like the others say try one. You can fine them in several different catalogs. They are expensive though. I hope you find out what you want. I have arthritis in the thumb joint of my right hand that holds the crochet hook.

I got those blue things you slide on your needles and I think they help. I think I only paid about $2.99 for them at A.C. Moores.

Last week at Hobby Lobby I purchased a set of interchangeable metal crochet hooks that will all fit into a single larger diameter handle that were under the brand name "Yarnology". They are perfect for me because I hold my crochet hook like a knife and quite close to the hook end, and these have a nice large flat surface closer to the end. There are 8 different hook sizes and one handle in a little zipered case for $24.95, and they had a 25% off sale, so I felt that they ended up being very reasonable. They even have a little gripper that comes with them to help get the two pieces screwed together nice and tight. With the larger diameter handle, I don't have to pinch my fingers together quite so tight and they don't go numb as fast so I can work for longer periods at a time.

Not only do we have the same name, it appears that we live in the same state too! Hopefully we will meet in person some day. Sounds from your posts that we have a lot in common.
