    Hi @Brigette1963 :) Welcome to the community! It's great to have you with us.

    That's a great question. I'm not a knitter myself, so I'm can't give a personal recommendation, but I did find this post on the community from a few years ago that has a couple of ideas you may find useful.

    I've also renamed your post and moved it into the aids, adaptations, and technology category to make it easier for other members to find.

    Hi @_witchcore, 

    Do you have additional great tips to share? I feel you do!  :D 

    Good luck @Brigette1963 and thanks for reaching out on behalf of the lady you work with! Hopefully, together, we will be able to help her so she can continue knitting  :)
