That's Never Happened Before

[Jan in CA]

I'm used to the Options now and don't have a problem, but there are still some yarns that create problems. I've been meaning to get some of these thimble pads. I think they'd be much more comfortable than a whole thimble.

Here are some other styles, too.

There are also some thin, flexible covers that may be what you want Angela.

I actually used a small bandaid and that worked until the tenderness healed and I now have my callous reforming. I'm vowing not to start on another project until I have my husband's sweater done, but wouldn't you know it, my aunt's package just got here today from Holland with my FIL's favorite sock yarn

I use a rubber finger tip covering all the time on my right hand index finger. They come in different sizes, and they're wonderful. Usually end up cutting off a wee bit on the end for a better fit so just a small portion of my finger is exposed.

Thanks for that link. We tried to find those yesterday when we went into an office supply place to get printer paper. They didn't have them. I'll order some for those "tender moments".

Glad to help! Too bad about your office supply store not carrying them because you could have tried a few on for the perfect fit. I'm afraid the more we go 'paperless', the more scarce they become!
