Hi, I wish to thank you for your great service and the marvelous hook which has given me
back the ability to do a hobby which has long been a favourite, but due to rheumatism,
I haven't been able to do for over ten years.
My sister was the first to buy one, and she sent me a link to your site, I wasn't
impressed! It looked too bulky to be comfortable. When I visited her in Canberra and
saw her using it, I still wasn't sold on the idea. I didn't believe it would be
comfortable in my hand!
On returning to Sydney , I decided I so badly wanted to work on a project my sister
had been doing, that I got my crochet hooks out. Well, I crocheted two small motifs
of four rows of double crochet on the Sunday afternoon and my hands were totally out
of commission for five days.
By this time Lorraine had bought my mum one and she also was very enthusiastic about
it, so I bit the bullet and ordered myself one.
It arrived two weeks later and with more hooks than I had ordered. Lorraine
explained why, and I sincerely thank you for your generosity. In today's world
customer service like yours is rare!
I have now crocheted over two dozen of the motifs and apart from my normal rheumatic
knuckle aches. I have no added pain whatsoever even though I once crocheted for the
whole day!!! I have been amazed by this!! And joy of joys I can crochet again :)
Thank you for such a great product, service, and your kindness. I will be letting
all my friends know. We also travel in a motor home, and I promise you, I will be
showing it off all over the place.
I've babbled on enough. Thank you for a great product.
Be happy, stay safe, and I wish you all the best for the future.
Thank you,
Regards, Janet Nov. 24/13

I have been a crocheter for many years. Six years ago I
was
diagnosed with a spinal disease (Neurological Sarcoidosis) that caused
severe
nerve damage to my right hand. Suddenly, I found all small motor
movement
ability gone, and with it, the ability to hold small objects such as
ink pens,
crochet needles, and smaller items. I was devastated. I
tried
learning how to quilt by machine, but that was not enough to satisfy my
need in
the same way as crocheting. About two months ago, I happened to
find a
crochet needle with a rubber handle in the craft store. I figured I
wasn't at a
loss if it didn't work because I already didn't have the ability, so I
paid the
$7.00 and made the purchase. How excited I was at the ability to
crochet
again, but my hand still could not hold the needle very effectively.
It
took me almost 6 hours to crochet two rows of an afghan. I
thought,
surely there has got to be an easier way for me to hold the hook!
I did a
google search for crochet hooks for handicapped and found
your website.
I was so excited I ordered the entire set! The EGG is
perfect for
my clunky hand to hold. Yesterday I crocheted three and a half
rows in a
very short time! All I can say is Thank You! Words cannot express
my
gratitude to you knowing that surely, a handicapped loved one in your
life led
you to this most wonderful discovery, and of course, your willingness
to market
it to folks like me. I will certainly pray for you and the
special loved
one that have been touched by God's grace!
Thank you again, Rita

Thank you so much. I ordered my first hook a few months ago
and have
been delighted with it. It arrived in less than 2 weeks and is
extremely
comfortable to use. Unfortunately it was
chewed by a dog and although it is still usable it is not quite the
same as
when new! I love to crochet but have
sometimes found that I get pain in my arm and shoulder and your hook
has
enabled me to crochet for hours with no problem. I
have been spreading the word to all my
crochet loving friends in the
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I just placed an order for more hooks and 10 O-rings. By the way, I just love these hooks. I suffer with arthritis and they have enabled
me to crochet without the pain. What a great invention!

Thank you so much for such fast response and shipping! I
purchased all
the hooks possible and my wonderful husband has just cut a C, D, and E
hook for
me for doing socks. They work and fit perfectly. The shape is very
comfortable
to hold and making this change works instantly, no learning time at
all. I
can't wait to spend the rest of the day crocheting socks.
Thank so much, Ann Kinney

Thank you! I have become your Pacific NW Rep! No
kidding! I woke up this morning and my hands are so swollen and I
am in
the middle of a Crochet Along. The only hook I use and can use,
is
yours. I barely have to grip, it takes care of my hands. I don't
know how
to explain it. I can barely make a fist this morning and yet I
can
crochet with this hook as if I my hands were normal! I tell
everyone
about this and tell them how wonderful it is! Thank
you! Steven and Julie Linn Sims May 10,

I am addicted to the Eleggant hook since I used it for the first time.
Only I miss the 3.00mm and 2.5mm hooks but I bought them in the local
yarn
store and made them fit to my Eleggant system.
So I'm a really satisfied user! Kind Regards,

This is the best kept secret. I can crochet for hours and not be
in
pain. Had I not been in a crochet chat site I would never have
found this
terrific item.
The egg fits comfortably in the hand and in fact I can crochet
faster. I
just ordered another handle so I don't have to change hooks when I'm
making
items at the same time that need a different size
hook. I love my
egg.

Your product is WONDERFUL!!! It is a lifesaver for me. I love to
crochet
and as the arthritis in my hands gets worse, it was becoming
increasingly more
difficult to do. Your hook is the answer. Now, my
hands don’t
cramp and I don’t drop the hook. Thank you so much.

I just received my set, and I never want to be without them! I
loved to
knit socks, but arthritic hands didn't. I was delighted to be able to
teach
myself painless crochet with your hooks, and am recommending them to my
sister
and mother-in-law. As soon as I find out if they still crochet, I'll be
back
for more! The only confusion I had was converting hook sizes - some are
letters
and some numbers, and wasn't sure as a first time crocheter how to
adapt sizes,
but I am learning. I think you should contact Arthritis Today. They
have had
articles about the benefits of knitting and crocheting and which tools
are
easiest to use. I am sure they would benefit many others. Thanks
again,
Barbara Brown

This is the MOST comfortable crochet hook I have ever used. Thank
you so
much. The handle I had used for mine was too large.
This one is perfect! I have already
fitted my favorite E hook to it.
Thank you so much! This is a wonderful, wonderful product!

Received my set today. I switched from my regular hook to the egg hook
and
absolutely love it.
In fact, I am ordering more hooks and O rings now. I have Rheumatoid
Arthritis
and have had
carpal tunnel surgery. This Egg feels wonderful in my hand. Thank you
and Best

I received a set from one of my swap partners from crochetville
and I
have to say that I love it...
To be honest I was afraid I would have to stop doing thread crochet due
to hand
fatigue and pain,
but now I can cut my steel hooks down and crochet with thread
comfortably
for hours
instead of having to have to switch to a yarn project and a different
hook to
keep my hand from cramping. Chrissy

I just wanted to say a few thing about my new best friend. I've only
been
crocheting for about 3 yrs now but technically about 6 months as to the
pain it
caused in my fingers from holding the hook, as you say "pencil
gripping", so I would only work on my project a little at a time. It
took
me 3 yrs to finish an afghan for my son, that's how bad it was. So
after
finishing that project I started to do it a bit more, but just
tolerated the
pain as to I had a couple of strokes, and the motion of my hand helped
my
dexterity come back. Anyway I just got my new "egg" and I have
only been using it a bit, still getting used to the feel of it, but
already I
can tell it's a GOD send!! Thanks so much Eleggant Hooks,
you
rock!! -- Tonya W. January 23/09

My mom is tickled PINK! She's very much
arthritic (knarled) and LOVES these!! THX!

YAHOOOOOO! I just received my eggy hooks (its now what I affectionately
call
your marvelous hooks). Thank You so much
for inventing and marketing these terrific ergonomic hooks. It must be
a lot of
work getting your invention perfected and then the chore of marketing
them for
the world to buy. I am grateful for all
of your effort to make our lives easier. Can't
tell you what it means to be able to
crochet without pain. I'll spread the
word to all I know. I just ordered a set
for my Mom. Thanks again and know you will
have great success! Barb Douglas Jan 25,

Just a short note to let you know my hooks arrived in the mail early
this
week. This is the very best unit I have ever used. Having
suffered
a severe head injury, my ability to balance a small hook, and to
maintain
tension were severely limited. That was until your hook
arrived. I
am planning to purchase another set, just in case something should
happen to
the one I have. Thank you so much in behalf of those of us who
have
suffered disabilities. Sincerely, Kathleen Oct.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I have
a neuropathy which makes it difficult to use my hands. Your hooks have
allowed
me to do thread crochet again. I can't thank you enough for this
wonderful
product. Sincerely, Matthew Walworth
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you so much for the beautiful hooks.
Never in my life has anyone given me such a nice gift.
What a blessing to have them, especially with the pronounced arthritis
in my
hands. Crocheting is once again
FUN! God Bless You richly for your
kindness. Diana

When I imagined the perfect hook, I envisioned something shorter with a
fat
stubby handle that would fit in my palm.
I did an online search for "stubby crochet hook" and found
your site. I received my hook set on
Monday and I am sooo glad. It works exactly as I imagined and my
hand no
longer cramps up. The interchangeable hooks are an added bonus to
your
very clever design.
C'est vraiment tres manifique!!! Merci Beaucoup! Sandi

Hi there! I've been working with your hook since I received it on the
3rd of
this month and have finally got the hang of it! It's a bit of a
challenge to
change from that hard-learned (and used) pencil grip but I am returned
to the
joys of crochet minus the carpal twinge! Its been a wonderful
experience to
have the feeling of 're-learning' my craft with out all the painful
mistakes of
the first timer, learning exactly how to twine the wool, to maneuver
the hook
into the stitches. while keeping an even tension and my speed is even
coming
back to me! I have been
crocheting
for nearly 6 years now, since I was 14 and many of my college girl
friends,
inspired by the gorgeous and kooky crafts that can be done by crochet
(I'm
determined to help it to the next it thing level!!) have asked me to
teach them
and now that I can work the hook, its been passed around and oooed and
awed
at! 2 of my friends are ready to order so they can learn with it
rather
than adapt later! I'm a true convert to your wonderful warm
eggsalent
hook ;). If it helps other
crocheters
re-find the joy of the craft, you can certainly post my
comments! Have a wonderful
day, Amy McDonald November 6, 2008

Hi! I received my order yesterday and, my oh my, they are wonderful. I carried the "egg" around most of
the day, it feels so comfortable, just like it was made for 'my' hand.
Thank
You Again and now I am off to put 'my' egg to work. LOL .
Thanks, Bella. I've been so spoiled since I
received me "egg" I won't use any other hook anymore. If you add
additional hooks, please let me know. I truly can crochet for hours
without any
hand fatigue or problems with my arthritis. Feel free to use me as a
reference.
You really came up with something unique that is so superior to
anything even
remotely similar on the market. The way the wooden handles warms up in
your
hand is amazing. Your rapid response to orders is impressive. Call me your #1 fan! Cathy
catlizg@adelphia.net
P.S I will tell anybody who will listen that your product is
AWESOME
and that they need to get themselves a set. Should have asked for some
business
cards if you have them, would be glad to hand them out to fellow
crocheters.

I am so thankful for the Eleggant Hooks. Without them I could not
crochet. Due to repetition work, I no longer work. I had to
undergo
a very invasive operation. The joint at the base of my thumb had
to be
removed. Ouch! It was so deteriorated. So now I am a stay at home
Mimi,
grandkids call me. I've always loved to crochet, but now I can't,
until I
found the Eleggant Hooks. Love them. mensinger123

I just LOVE Eleggant Hooks!!! Thank you ever so much for making
our lives
easier. I love to thread crochet and have wanted to start a
business
making wedding garters. I have hesitated doing so because of my
hand
cramping up after being at it for long lengths of time. With
Eleggant
Hooks I can crochet pain free! So take THAT arthritis and
fibromyalgia!
My Eleggant Hook is a lifesaver. I can never thank you
enough. And
I look forward to seeing you in
I simply cannot thank you enough! Jane Pope, Crochetier

Hi, I just had to let you know how thrilled I am with my Eleggant
Hooks. I thought my crochet days were over and even when I
ordered the
Eleggant Hooks I had my doubts, but I have just had it for less than a
day and
I am so happy with the Eleggant Hooks. What a wonderful creation
and it
does help the stitches go faster and my carpal tunnel has not bothered
me
once. I will have to consider one for travel and one for
home. I
just love the Eleggant Hooks and any person that has arthritis or
carpal tunnel
who likes to crochet should have one. Now there is no need to
suffer, it
fits perfect in the hand and well it's just great. I also wanted
to
comment on the fact that the shipping and the courtesy I have received
was
outstanding. Thanks again. I shall tell everyone about the
Eleggant
Hooks. Teresa - eBay -zentella14512 Feb
