I'm not sure what technique you are referring to as right, but i battled with all thumbs and moving the yarn with fingertips instead of letting the hook do all the work....so i persisted with a recommended technique of allowing the yarn to pass over your little finger and then first, and using your hook to do all the work - it's now a breeze, so contrary to others, i may advise you to persist with the "right" technique! <br />xxBrenda @ 13 Acreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15936530633161291153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016772745654806153.post-6853970321271011192011-04-01T19:47:22.956+11:002011-04-01T19:47:22.956+11:00Comfortable sounds wonderful..but I'm a novice...Comfortable sounds wonderful..but I'm a novice so pretty much shouldn't have an opinion on this!

Good advice though on doing what's comfortable. I just don't want to give myself an injury!grethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00266463738816819059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016772745654806153.post-87588684100774420782011-04-01T15:35:15.897+11:002011-04-01T15:35:15.897+11:00Switch to what's comfortable--the only reason ...Switch to what's comfortable--the only reason the "right" technique was established was because it looked more feminine back in the day (it is actually not very comfortable at all--as you have noticed). I hold my crochet hook much like I hold a needle when sewing by hand (between my thumb and forefinger). I hope it helps! :)Ruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05907589337493937786noreply@blogger.com
