Hi, I found this site bc I have been looking for anything adaptive to help with my knitting.  I have myasthenia gravis so my muscles weaken without much effort, making it difficult for me to knit at times, especially tensioning the yarn.  I generally have more strength in my arms (my fingers fatigue fast) so would like to find a solution based on this. Excited to find any solutions; know there are lots of clever folks out there. Thank you!

    Welcome to the community @lizardknits :) How are you doing?

    Thanks for your question. Just to let you know, I've moved your post into the coffee lounge, and renamed it slightly, so that other members will be able to find it more easily. 

    I'm not personally a knitter, so I'm not particularly aware of any adaptations, but I'll certainly have a look around for you. Hopefully one of our other members will have had experience of something similar.

    Thank you so much Tori!  I don’t usually post much on these sites so am not aware of how to get people to see and respond.  I appreciate your help and kindness.

    No problem @lizardknits :) You were right to post in the welcomes and introductions category for your first post, I just wanted to increase the visibility of it. 

    I've found this post on the community from a couple of years ago, and a few members made some suggestions in the comments that might be of use?
