Brilliant!

Where can I get one of theses devices or can I see the whole wooden part?

I am one-hand knitter. I use about 2 inches thick foam pad, wire cable clips with pins holding my knitting needles. I'm currently making round knit top down sweaters. Everything is possible as long as you find a way to do it.

Finding this video just made my day, I can’t move my left arm,my wrist or my fingers and I want to learn how to crochet 😊

That’s my grandma’s dialect. My cousin was a medical translator in San Francisco for that dialect. I am sure there aren’t much demand for that now.

You were the first video to pop up when I was researching tool aids for crochet! I have tendonitis and carpal tunnels so I can’t have my hand in the same position for even 5 min, I will have to try out your tool 💕💕💕

Oh my gosh. I had no idea how I was going to do that, and then as soon as you turn the loop over, I could totally see it. Hahaha. This is so much fun.

I am trying very hard to rest my right hand because of tendonitis, which I extremely aggravated over this last week trying to get an afghan done by yesterday, and of course now I regret it. And I crochet and sew all the time. So my right hand and wrist hurting for little things is really, really not cool. I just tried sewing with my left hand, and I guess it can work, it's just going to take a lot longer. But then I tried crocheting with my left hand, and OUCH. Having to grasp the yarn and hold it out with my right hand hurt definitely too much. Very discouraging. I was sitting here trying to decide what I was going to do about that and just randomly said, "Hey Google, can you crochet with one hand?" And the first thing that came up, was your article in Medium! I am so very excited to find you. Thank you so much! I am going to get creative with this!

Awesome. ❤❤❤❤❤

My family is a chinese/filipino when they speak they mention gopa- 500 hahaha what dialect is this?

Oh my god! I had a stroke and only have the use of one hand. I can't wait to try this trick. I don't crochet or knit, but I might try it. I'm also going to order that fantastic cutting board that you recommended. Can't wait to start cutting my own vegetables (and bagels!). If you happen to know of any other one handed tutorials or resources for hemiplegiacs maybe you could send me some links. It would be greatly appreciated. Love your channel and just subscribed. You're so inspiring. Looking forward to seeing your channel growing and helping more people like myself. Thank you so much for all your hard work that I know goes into these videos.

I speak kaipingnese as well, but in my family we interchange between the "b" and "v" sound. I find it very interesting

I am extremely grateful to you for this video. We are getting ready to take in a young adult with partial paralysis who wants to learn to crochet, and this may well be her way to do it. Thank you!

Thank you so very much🥰 for sharing this with everyone how you figured this out and I admire you you for this. because I almost have the same problem . because the doctor missed me at birth. and I had to teach myself many things on how to do the normal things with just using my whole left side only again thank you and keep up the good work.

how get back to the original view(starting view) ?

Love your video! It’s so hard to find information about Kaiping dialect in English … can you please do more video on Kaipingnese pronouns or other commons phrases. My dad family is from Kaiping/Sze Yup and I grew up hearing it… Thanks for your work!

Thank

Hi frnd

this is a great idea. Bless you. ❤ My grandma had a stroke and cant use her left side and she loves knitting. Hope we can make something like this. 🙏🏼

This is an awesome video and I'm glad you shared it so it can be an inspiration to others who have that limitation. I'm curious though, do you have any problem with the tension of the yarn? I know having it on the floor provides some tension itself, but I'm thinking that there may be times when you might need a little more tension on the yarn, such as maybe adding a clip that can be moved down the yarn as it is being used but also at the same time would apply tension to the yarn by its own weight if needed? What kind of things have you been able to create?

ı use for my sushi plate. Thank you so much !

You are so talented and such an inspiration! I stumbled upon your video in hopes of helping my boyfriends niece who has no function with her right hand. She is 14 and has no hobbies but has shown interest in crocheting and sewing. I’m excited for her spark of interest and want to encourage her she can do anything she puts her mind to and help her along the way. Helen can I please get some advice lol I have not sewed in over 25 years myself, and no nothing about sewing. Do you know type of sewing machine is the best? Where are some good places to buy an affordable one for a starter and someone on a budget? I plan to do a simple bag with her, lol does it take a certain type of machine? I know I can ask Google these things but I trust you more 😆 thank you for your time and such great videos!!

So cool!❤❤❤

You just blew my mind. Now I can pick up my old hobby of crochet that I loved to do before my stroke! My life isn’t over🎉

O my god I am Kaipeng from Tripura India and we have a number i.e khat,nik,thum,lik,rangek,ruk,sarik,riat,kuak,sawm,.

Thank you so so much for making series about crochet and knitting with one hand! I had a stroke too, and cannot use my left hand. I kind of taught myself how to knit one handed, but wanted to pick up crochet. The thought of doing it one handed made me nauseous, but then I found your article and then your channel. Thank you so much ❤

A great presentation on your invention!

I have a mass in one of my fingers on my dominant hand. I just had a procedure done on it, which failed and has given me nerve damage. I can barely crochet at the moment. I'm considering surgery, but since there is nerve involvement (some level of the mass squishing or enveloping a nerve) the surgery comes with greater risk. I've been so scared I would lose the only hobby that brings me peace, but this series gave me hope, so thank you very much. I did want to ask whether you crocheted before your stroke, and if so what was the adjustment like? I know I'm already harsh on myself knowing how quickly/easily I used to crochet. Did you face this, and if so, what helped these thoughts?

Thanks

You have such sweet and supportive parents that want to help you, however they can in all your endeavours! Your videos are very helpful and very positive! I know you will do well in whatever you do!💖🤗🇨🇦

you my inspiration. i have problem in one hand. i love croche and find your vlog. ❤❤❤❤

Thank you Helen. I just entered “how to sew with one hand” into the search and your video came up first. I shattered my humerus two weeks ago and sewing is my daily hobby in retirement and also my primary anxiety relief. Today is my first time trying to get off the couch to do something. Pain is still an issue but I’m lucky to have broken my non-dominant arm. I’d already figured out some tips like being prepared to go very slowly, using tweezers to pick up things and so on but I have a lot more to figure out. 💪🏻❤️

Hi, Helen! I am studying to be an occupational therapy assistant, and I also love sewing! Thank you for sharing your process. I've been looking for ways to help people with limb differences and other disabilities continue to enjoy sewing. This was really helpful!

Can you sell the crochet helper.

Thank you for this you are so inspiring

I hate weaving the ends in so I crochet over mine as Im working it. Before I'm finished say ten twenty stitches left I stretch out more yarn than I need. Then I cut it offthen i lay the cut end four inches or so over work that ive already made. I make sure the rest of the yarn is laying on top of the last previous row. I finish my last few stitches like its not there and when I get to the last stitch I can pull the cut end and close the loop up all the way so the only loop thats left is as small as a regular stitch and use it for the color change. Its somewhat unavoidable if its the end stitch of the project but makes it a lot less work at least for the color changes

Thanks, Helen. Looking forward to crochet again.

You are an inspiration for all. Thank you for showing us all to never give up if you love the hobby of sewing.

「八」doesn't sound correct, it isn't 「發」，but should be 「挖」(both of which are said in Hoiping dialect).
