I saw someone use one of these an looked up how to do it and realized I have the exact same ring, the peacock one. I got it in a jewelry subscription box a few years back, not marketed for crochet! I've never worn it but it's going in my crochet kit now! going to check out which ones you have. Thanks for a thorough and easy to understand video, this is going to be fun!
February 9 2024: So happy I came across your channel. I had purchased two types and so frustrated that I set it aside. Your instructional video with the position of the cameral well now “”easy peasy”. Thank you for this video.
Thank you! Crafting is joining working on a computer as one more thing I do to make me prone to RSI, so I'm hoping these will help me ease up on my grip and avoid more numb thumb on my yarn holding hand. I also have some hand exerciser eggs to help stretch out my fingers. I just took my first ring for a test drive and found your video first to help figure it out. My first one is a 3 pack of the kitties too!
So I have been brought the “peacock” one but I’m like 99% sure it’s a snake 😂 it’s shape and everything screamed snake to me… unless it’s the styling of the ring that’s called peacock, I’m not sure, either way you are an absolute hero for making this video! Most helpful one by far and it actually got it working for me! Thank you 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Thank you very much for this video really helpful. I have purchased some cheap tension rings from Amazon before searching this video as I saw people on TikTok using tension rings and didn’t want to spend too much money on something if I didn’t get along with it but this video helped me get along just fine and all it took was searching how to hold yarn and hook with tension ring into TH-cam. Now I can get along with rings just fine I’ll take a look at your website but from the video I see that’s in dollars and I’m from the uk so would you do international shipping. Also when I’ve finished my current wip(a gift for my besties baby daughter) I’ll be looking at your video for more pattens to follow.
I have been struggling with yarn tension rings, and crocheting, where I use stitch markers all the time, marking the beginning of rounds, and row count confirmations throughout the project. I make animals, frogs, turtles, horses, unicorns, giraffes, etc. I started using tension rings to alleviate yarn marks on my left forefinger. Please consider showing how to use the tension ring while marking projects. Repositioning the yarn in the ring after marking stitches.
I was so excited to try all the rings in the assortment pack my SIL bought for me and I loved most of them but the flower (that I was most excited to use) snapped when I was trying to adjust it to my finger! 😢 It was the only one in the pack that did it, all the others were perfect. I was just so sad about the flower!
I'm sorry to hear that about the flower. Did your SIL order from me (etsy.com/shop/seashellcrafter or yarnnecklaces.com)? If so, please email me at seashellcrafter@hotmail.com so I can replace it for you.
Love this video. So very informative. I get hand cramps when I’m crocheting. Do you think if I used 2 rings, one on the pointer and one on like my ring finger that would help reduce the hand cramps?
when I tried to use the ring with no video, I automatically put it on my ring finger. This whole "pointer finger" is harder for me to manipulate. I think I must just not crochet the standard way. Did you get it to work for you?
I'm wondering if you can help me out. I ordered a crochet ring - the design is called Silver Fish (left hand) - which I assume is actually placed on your right index finger. But for the life of me I cannot figure out how to use it. Seems to be nothing to hook the yarn on like the other designs. Would you have any idea on how to help me? I have sent a note to the company. Thanks 😊
I have seen a fish design before, but I don't carry that one. If you are unable to hook the yarn to the fish anywhere, I would use the ring band. I demonstrate how to do that in this video.
That one sounds like a ring that can only be used on your left hand for tension. You can see my listing for it here. www.etsy.com/listing/1428066915/silver-or-multicolor-yarn-right-handed Follow the photos to see how to thread the yarn.
Where did you buy it from? If you purchased from me, I would replace it or give you your money back. Please reach out to the seller where you purchased it from.

I just purchased the cat rings and I had to learn how to use them. Thank you for your video.
Same here. I also like wearing them, as a cat lady, but it's nice that they're also useful.

Thank you so much. I didn’t think I could use this as a lefty. Truly appreciate the help
Thank you so much for showing how to thread it through for the lefties! I could not wrap my head around it!
I had similar rings as a child.(Like the spoon handle.)Never knew what it was. Thank you.
I know a lady who used to make spoon rings! You are welcome!😀

Thank you so much, I was having trouble finding a video that explained this in a clear way :)
You're welcome! Thank you for letting me know it was helpful!

Thank you for the suggestion. I will try to make a video on this as soon as I can.

I'm not sure, you can try it. Have you tried just using it on your pointer finger?

You're welcome 😊
I purchased the peacock ring but the head and tail aren't separate?? And there is a gap on the back of the ring. How do I use that?
That one sounds like a ring that can only be used on your left hand for tension. You can see my listing for it here.

I have the cat one but you didn’t show how to use it and I can’t figure it out. Sad face
Watch the whole video. She showed the cat ring.
Your scammer bc when I opened my one to make it big it broke😢
Where did you buy it from? If you purchased from me, I would replace it or give you your money back. Please reach out to the seller where you purchased it from.
