htm? Does the "hook end" look especially odd? I wish I could see one in person. Thought you guys might find it interesting too.

I have often wondered how comfortable the grip is with them...I guess it is okay once you get used to it !!! Thanks for sharing!

I imagine that would be a boon to people with repetitive stress injuries. I personally make do with some inexpensive foam rubber grips from Joann.com.

i think i see what you're seeing on the hook end, and i think it's glare from the photograph - otherwise it looks like something you'd gut a fish with!

 

i'd like to see one in person, too, and also find out from someone who experiences hand pain if this configuration helps relieve it.

 

i'm so 'hooked' on my regular hooks, it seems like it would interfere with being able to give the hook a slight turn as the yarn is pulled through during certain stitches....

 

i dunno:think

Hmmm, I think those look pretty cool. I agree that the photo makes it look something like a latchhook. I'm tempted to try these, as I use my hands repetively all day with my job, and I'm always looking for more ergonomic devices!
