They range in price from $15 to $70 and can be gotten from a physical therapy place or through an orthopedic doctor. Mien has worked wonders for me and I am on the third one.<br />I love the Turkish crochet. The colors and weight of the piece are beautiful. Looks like a bracelet already!donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752942023461265395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502351480653950734.post-22623305080720608382012-04-05T02:10:50.583-07:002012-04-05T02:10:50.583-07:00I guess I didn't express myself very well.

I'm not a fan of wire crochet, but this looks great.

I love bead crochet and I love doing it but my thumb joint doesn't. It keeps me from doing more of it and someone told me the padded hooks are better in a case like that. I'm having a hard time finding the padded hooks in the right sizes though.Maryannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995953807184947287noreply@blogger.com
