Today I’m going to talk about crocheting with only my none dominant hand and why it’s important to keep doing what brings you joy.
At first I had to use things I had and I came with this thing. Which is a chunky hook taped together with a regular hook.
In place of my right hand I can use my legs or armpit. I had to relearn the crochet movement with only using one hand and things like the magic circle and the slip knot using only my non dominant hand. I’ll show you how this works.
This has its limitations like changing hooks, it limits your project size and its not good to have your arm held like that.
A good friend saw these limitations and she was determined to do better. And then her brain child the crochet guillotine was born.
Size is not limited, it encourages my right hand to be involved, and with two turns of screws I can change the hook. I’ll show you how this works ....
I’m making purple baby like this for “Click for babies” (link in discipton) .........
What hobbies would miss if you lost the ability? Let me know in the comments below.
Antill next time..be kind to yourself and others.
On May 19th 2020 I had a hemorrhagic stroke which left me with aphasia, hemiparesis on right side, brain surgery and left in I.C.U. Well I made it out alive!!!!!I would like to invite you to my journey as I heal and deal ;-)P.S If you would like to join me on this journey please leave a comment below.

I had my CVA in 2016 and still suffering from hemispheric paralysis on my left side and arm and hand. I loved crocheting.
Me and the creator of the crochet contraption are going to be putting together a video on how to make it. Then I can put together tutorials on how to it.
So stay tuned!!! We will get you back to what you LOVE 💗

This happened to a friend who was a phenomenal crafter and singer. Whilst her singing voice never returned she turned out the most intricate embroideries, beadwork, paintings, did gardening, decorating… in fact it just did not stop her. Her commitment was total and her quality of work was not diminished. What she accomplished with one hand put us to shame. Tku for sharing your journey. Inspiring.
The stroke didn't affect your will power and ingenuity! Kudos
It shore didn’t! I am continuing to make progress every day. Stay tuned for my crochet progress and how I turned my knitting machine into hand therapy.
Thank you for the heart felt comment 💗
You are truly amazing. Stay strong, and don't let anything stop you . I came across this by accident. You are an inspiration, wishing you all the best in the future. You go, girl!!!! May you continue to find strength in all you do . From Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺
I had a stroke in 2003 when I was 13 and lost my right hand and legs movement so I'm very proud that she put this on TH-cam thank u it helped me so much
Your a sweetheart💕

Minha nora achou esse
Minha nora encontrou esse vídeo sobre "one handed crochet" assim q tive AVC e fui tetado até q ha 1 semana consegui começar a fazer.É bastante difícil mas não é impossível e devagarinho estou conseguindo. Obrigada por ter postado , ajudou muito e nos dá esperança
I had a stroke 2 years ago and have to relearn how to crochet you are amazing and have inspired me to keep trying. I get so frustrated. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.hope this finds you and yours well.
What an inspiration you are I thought it was going to be impossible to ever crochet again but there is now hope.
Fantastic ❤️
i had a stroke last year, thank you so much for posting a video i have struggled so badly with accepting my paralyzed left arm. i am trying very hard to find a hobby i enjoy doing like i did before the stroke. thank you again, keep crocheting, take care.
I had a stroke also. Thank you for the inspiring video. I am determined to leard to crochet with one hand!!
Losing the ability to make food & sew
I love making gorditas my fav guilty food
I love to crochet and I wanted to show your video to motivate & teach how to crochet with your non dominate. I work at a tbi rehab & believe you will inspire them as much as you have me❤
I’m glad that can help motivate and support!!!!! Please keep making your favorite food/sewing…..Start with you think you can…..And start from there 😀
Thanks for sharing I had a stroke and wanted to get back to crocheting and found your video thanks
You can do it!
My sister had a stroke 5 years ago. She has aphasia and lost the use of her dominant hand. She was a professional artist. She can paint with her non-dominant hand, but isn’t very motivated. She used to knit a little. I’m thinking it would be fun for us both to learn to crochet. I think it would feel good to her to learn a new craft. I wish your guillotine was available to buy!! Maybe she can try learning with the leg or armpit hold. Maybe I’ll try learning with just one hand to keep her company.
Thank you for being so inspiring!
Thank you for your kind words.
I’m hoping to have the creator on my channel to show us how to make our own. So please stay tuned.
💜💗💜💗💜💗💜
Thank you for making this video. I recently had a stroke and recognized how much it took to make this video.
And LOVE the sweatshirt. Praying for your journey!
Thank you for explaining and demonstrating. You're amazing. I was severely injured in my left non-dominant hand 10 years ago and it's been uphill, but I'm lucky that one and a half hands work (as long as its not too fiddly!) I used to play Piano, Viola, and various sized Recorders, for fun, but those and of course typing with more than one finger are all out. Take care of yourself ❤❤
Hello my name us Sarah I live in Indiana last December I had my 3rd stroke which left me flat on my left side I am just now wanting to learn how to crocheted again. I am ad I found d your channel you are doing good on your speech. Keep up the good work.
Bless you 🙏🏼 I’ve been looking for alternatives to my grandma who had a stroke she loves knitting. Thanks for the idea 🫶🏻
Hi sweetie, I am in awe that you found a way, good on you. I am in my 10th year as a stroke survivor, missing my knitting. I volunteer to keep myself busy. And now looking for way to start my knitting or maybe crocheting? Again well done, you have a fighting spirit, you need to stay on top. xxx Elizabeth
I think it's really cool that you're helping with this and doing this, I have the same problem but with my other arm, right now my daughter is helping me type because of my speech problems thank you.
I use a grip assist glove (Active Hands brand) to hold the needle in my affected hand.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HOW YOU DO THAT?
Respect madame you are a hero I really admire you ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing. I recently experienced a stroke that caused immobility and no feeling in my left arm. It’s not my dominant arm. I hope to find a way to resume crocheting once I’m home from the hospital.
I am sad and in awe. Sad that you experienced this medical situation. Glad that you are making progress, recovering from your stroke. I am in awe that you did not let this keep you from doing what you love. It may be slower, it may take longer, but you have met this challenge, in your recovery, head on. I love your crochet guillotine, it certainly is a helping hand for you. My other hobby, when I am not crocheting is beading. It would be very difficult to do, with the use of only one hand. I have subbed to your channel and hope for the best in your continued recovery.
Thank you so much for your kind words💕 You nailed it when you said that it does not keep from doing what I LOVE it just takes me more time.
Wonderful demonstration! Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Hi, thanks so much for making this video. I love to crochet, bake, scrapbook, sew and do cross stitch. My sister had a stroke and wants to take up crocheting again just like you. She also knitted before her stroke. Your friend was very clever when he/she invented the crochet guillotine. I am so glad that you can crochet again! Has your friend shared with others how to create a crochet guillotine so they can crochet too? I'd love to know. Thank you.
You are amazing! Thank you for sharing.
You are amazing. Thank you for sharing.

You are a true inspiration. I had stroke 5 years ago, when I was 49. Like you I have had to adapt. You inspire me to do more. Thank you. Xx❤❤❤
Great job!!!
Thank you!,
Thank you for this video. I had a stroke in 1989 and for a time could not do all the crafts I used to do. I have a Facebook group for Disabled people doing Crafts and I am pleased to say it is doing well as it has only been going 1 month. During a Zoom meeting the subject of pain and crochet came up and we talked about different ways to crochet. I have since taken a few hours to look for a video to share with the group and definitely your video is the one. Again Thank you from the UK. Best wishes Kate
Thank you so much!! Do you mind if I ask what the name of your group is?
You are brave and doing good stay strong.very well done.
Great Job! Keep it up....

Hello! I love your video. I have had my left hand amputated many years ago and I used to love crocheting. You gave me hope and I will try to crochet again. #amazing
That’s so creative and cool! You’re an awesome woman!!!
Thank you so much 💗
You are awesome. You might also try loom knitting. That may be another way to express your creativity. ❤
Lori, your an inspiration to us all✨
Your so sweet!!!!!!
Love you Lori 💘 keep working hard.
I will, it’s the only way I know how to work.....Hard 💪🏼
Love you too 💘
You are such a badass:) I already knew you were super smart, but the crochet guillotine? That’s epic!!! Love it!!!
Just Keepin it real LOL
Thanks for making this my survivor friend.6 years post stroke.
Thank you for your becoming part of the journey. 💗
Wow six years! WTG Congratulations 🎈
I’m blessed with the ability to use both my hands, but did discover crochet through becoming paraplegic. Your positive attitude is uplifting. I’m now making winter items for the homeless, using my newfound crochet skills. It amazes me how you make it look so easy! Took me quite some time to learn with two hands. Your are amazing!
Lori, you are amazing. God indeed has a perfect plan for you. We love you, Uncle Louie and Aunt Patty.
Thank you for reminding of that Aunt Patty 💗 It’s hard to remember sometimes when you don’t know what his plan is.
I will praise him in this storm ⛈
that is so cool of your friend to make! Thank you for sharing that things can be adapted in so many other ways :D
Thank you 😊
Kanoe made it for me 💜💜
I am Shirley, I had a total of 4 strokes in which the 3rd one affected my left side. I m right handed and in need of learning hw to crochet again with right hand again
Omg you brought btrars to my eyes. I also had a stroke in January 2020 and I had to relearn to crochet also. You're on doing Fabulous ❣️🌹❣️
Thank you so much! How is your crochet going?
I am very inspired by you. I just found this. I have brain damage and am having a hard time. I started knitting but now I have a problem with my hand for the time being. Maybe this is an option. The wood tool to hold the hook is so very amazing and creative.
I had a stroke - prenatal, which gave me Cerebral Palsy (quadraparesis). I can do almost everything "normal" people can do because I've adapted to life with CP. However, knitting and crochetting has always been out of reach (because of the spasticity in my limbs/hands). I've only been able to do loom knitting because its less hand movements. But! I also never figured crochetting with one hand was possible. This is pretty cool! BTW: love the colour of your nails.
Thank you for sharing your triumphant journey
I had seizure 3 weeks doctor say no oxygen was off sleep so no oxygen for brain now my right arm speak don't work and my already paralyzed legs spine fron crasj 25 years i miss crochet I'm do for many years and I looking not give up my crochet and maybe do my left hand and because crochet my one of pass8in of life
