This is the kit on Amazon which I mentioned that has ergonomic handles for the thin small steel hooks. This set has the hooks sized (0.5mm - 2.7mm) Tulip seems to have a set too but they are pricey, clover has one but they don't go down so small. They also have other sets of these ergonomic steel hooks with or without cases too on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BCPY72NB/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_10?smid=A8XDZQ03DWTEL&th=1

Thank you :). You're welcome.  I thought it would be nice to show it with the different colors and striping.  This stitch looks really nice with self striping yarn with short color changes too, like Red heart super saver stripes.

Today's stitch was the feather stitch I had made a feather stitch blanket during from a free pattern that was released last year for a blanket drive for Warm Up America. I didn't finish in time to mail it off and really loved how pretty the blanket came out so I decided to keep it. I may gift it to a relative but I still haven't decided yet.  I was thinking folks might want to see a picture of it and I can share it here.  I used Lion brand pound of love, one skein of each of those colors I think if I recall correctly.  The pattern was a free pattern with video tutorial.  If anyone wants the link please let me know and I'll look for it. I can also look for the colorways as well if anyone is interested in using these same colors.  This stitch is a yarn eater and the blanket is definitely heavy, weighted blanket and it's nice and squishy.

Tiffany Hansen Thank you.  I had accessibility issues when I visited Scotland with a group.  When I visited Spain with my family, my uncle at the time had cancer and had accessibility issues so I made sure to find Airbnb's that had elevators or a minimum amount of stairs.  Unfortunately, some locations it can be harder to find handicap, wheelchair accessibility or even things like less stairs for individuals who can't walk as much or as far anymore.

Yes, I would like to go. It would depend on when, where and the cost.  I also deal with chronic joint pain (back, hips, and other joints) and fatigue issues. I also have some accessibility issues so I can't do a bunch of stairs or long hikes, my pain and energy levels vary by day.

I am a maybe, I've been wanting to possibly try out this yarn.  I tried to see if I could order this yarn with the current Joann's sale but it was all sold out. I haven't been able to buy it at the reduced price.
