She’s so cute!

I am so impressed by your determination to continue a hobby. There are so many people that wouldn't bear to have to relearn how to do something like this. And for you to sit there and try MULTIPLE methods and not lose determination is so awesome! This was exceptionally educational, thank you for posting!

Mole skin can be placed on your skin to provide a layer of protection from irritations. Also I think you need a double strap one around the hand and the other around your wrist to keep it secured on your hand. So happy that you are still trying to make things work and not letting things stop you from doing what you love! Lots of luck!

Yes exactly what I was thinking

Or duoderm if she has access to it. It’s basically a sticky (on one side) dressing that is like a second layer of skin. I use it on my patients who have NG tubes to prevent irritation from the tube rubbing against their face.

I am sorry you had to amputate your fingers. I am happy that you are still doing what you love and not letting anything stop you. You are inspiring people to keep trying in life and not give up even though things happen in life that we do not expect.

I’m 27 and I’ve started to have issues with my 3 end fingers on both hands and I gets my down when it starts to hurt when doing things like crocheting. But watching you try push yourself to try these products and even if it’s uncomfortable so you start doing something you love again has moved me. Your motivation encourages me to see that persistence is key and thank you having the strength it took to make this video. I pray you find the perfect thing you need to get back to doing the things you love ❤️

If you don’t already know what it is, it sounds like carpal tunnel . . . carpal tunnel surgery was the best thing I ever did for myself.

+ 1 This sounds like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome which is a painful medical condition that leads to numbness, swelling and/or pain in the fingers you specified. It develops when your hands & wrists are frequently subjected to reperetive motions (Crochet, knitting, frequent usage of keyboard, etc) without proper downtime breaks between. Unfortunately once its there it doesn't go away in its own iirc and surgery for relief I'd the best option.

You are so amazing! Don't ever loose your determination to continue crocheting. Someone will devise just the right tool for you. GOD bless your strength sweetheart. You are inspiring.

Bless you ❤

My emotions were all over the place watching this. I was getting frustrated when you were getting frustrated. I wanted to fix it all for you. And then you persevered and you got going really good! I was elated! You got this, you just need to retrain your brain and create new muscle memory. And of course find the best combo of straps and hooks. You got this! And I'm so freaking proud of you! I am so looking forward to seeing your new creations.

I think maybe a modified finger-less glove might work too. So that it goes around your thumb to help hold or stay on your hand without being to tight. You are such an inspiration.

I'm amazed at your attitude of never give up and how you found a way to crochet without fingers on your right hand. You should be very proud of yourself.

I hope these individuals who make custom things for people with disabilities see this. I am sure something could be designed along the lines of what you were sent but for your personal needs, and comfort. I am impressed at your tenacity to make something work! Your amazing! You will most certainly figure it out Kayla, big Daddy will make sure of it ❤

Miss Kayla, you got this so very proud of you. You are an awesome inspiration to all. We are truly blessed to have you on here to share what your goals are. You rock 🪨 🎸

I just happened upon your channel by accident and oh, my gosh, I admire you so much for your tenacity and positive attitude. We all need to take a lesson from you in that department. God bless you.

Hi Kayla, it's just wonderful watching you crochet again!!! Thank you to all of the wonderful subscribers who sent Kayla the straps so she can crochet again 🥰 Thank you big daddy for helping Kayla get her straps straight so she can crochet!! We love both of you so much 🥰💕💗🎶🦋 Life is really hard sometimes, but you are an inspiration to us all!! It reminds me that I have nothing to complain about!!! I'm looking forward to seeing everything you want to make 💖 Please take care and stay safe and healthy 💕💗💖🎶🦋

Oh my gosh! It made me SO HAPPY to see you crocheting! 😭❤️ I had to chuckle when you said you felt like you were going so slow … you were still faster than I am 😂 Praying you guys get everything customized to work perfectly 🙏🏻

People are really amazing at adapting and I agree she is way faster than me with my 10 fingers. Probably just due to years of practice I absolutely do not have. I taught myself earlier this year after finally finding a good left handed crotched for beginners tutorial. Now I'm able to adapt the right handed instructions after getting the basics right.

Oh my this was so inspiring and wholesome! I'm so happy that you found a way to crochet! God bless you

My heart is so full watching you. You are beyond amazing. I am cheering and jumping up and down in my spirit for you. You are a beautiful and phenomenal woman. There is nothing that you cannot do. Crocheting has saved my life and my sanity, so I truly appreciate your passion for it. You keep trying until you find what works for you. I'm watching and waiting to see you reach your goal.

New you is great as the old you! God feels your love and you pain and joy he will help you thru this!

It was the best feeling in the world seeing you make some stitches again. I know you will find a way to make it work and with time you will get faster because your will and determination is stronger than any person I have ever seen. You never give up hope and that is truly an inspiration to everyone that watches you.

i am new to crochet and i do enjoy it a lot more than i thought i would. i couldn't imagine having to go through all that you have and not be able to continue it. so i am glad that you are finding ways to make it work for you.

I was thinking about this when you first announced the amputation and thought you could 3d print an artificial pinky finger that could be worn in a thin glove or perhaps attached by some other means. If you're interested I've got the equipment and I'm sure I could figure out how to model a finger. 😆

I can't even crochet with fingers, this is amazing

your determination is an inspiration. you've got this. soon we'll be viewing your first look-what-i-made video.

You are such a strong and inspirational woman. Thank you for walking us through all of these options. So happy to see you crocheting again. I have always thought how blessed you are to have caring and supportive family. But YOU are the strong one. Take care and keep fighting and inspiring 😊💕✌🏻🧶

Thank you Big Daddy you are a great husband/ friend. Love you Kayla... You are crocheting !!! Praise Our God .. Amen

You are so inspiring! It's good to know that they have straps out there like this. I had no idea.

Go Kayla go!!! You are doing fantastic! Take it slow and easy on yourself. Baby steps, right??!?! Your hand is going to be very sore tonight, so don’t be hard on yourself. We all love you ❤ You are an inspiration to us!👏🏻❤️

Kayla, you crocheted! You did it. I never doubted that you would find a way. This video made my day. It’s a great day to crochet!

Kala, I am so happy that there are some of these devices that show some promise. Kepp on working on what works for you. have got this!

You've got this, Kayla. After a bit of practice, you will become faster. The crochet queen is back! 👑

You are such a strong woman! What a great inspiration to all of us! God bless!

Dearest Dearest Kayla 🥲. Happy tears - grateful tears - some frustration tears - but mostly elated tears for you🥲. Your very first CHAINS … oh my goshhhh .. my heart was singing for you! You and Big Daddy (and maybe an Angel somewhere out there) are GOING to tweak and tweak until you get this “just right”! I know you will. There’s no doubt about it at all! I was sooo happy when you tried the longer hook!!! There are so many variables that can be fine tuned JUST FOR YOU!!! I felt every tear that you were trying to hide, but was still so amazed at your double crochets, especially!! I wanted to shout to the world, “SHE’S DOING IT!! She’s crocheting!!!” We all love you so much, Kayla.

Your talent is in your brain, not your fingers. I believe you have the knowledge to design amigurumi patterns, too.

You and big daddy got this. My son is paralyzed from chest down. My husband and him are always finding ways for him to do stuff. Ya'll keep it up. Ya'll are amazing.

Kayla, there is the relearning and adjusting to a new level of crochet speed and not being frustrated during the relearning process. Kayla, I absolutely love your drive and determination to overcome. You are a champion in my book!!!!! God bless you pressed down, shaking together and running over.

Big Daddy will find a solution for them all , Kayla . With slight changes I believe most of them will work !!! Most of all Kayla , God gave you this talent and he will help Big Daddy find a way to make them perfect for you !!!! I truly believe that !!!

You're amazing! Thank you for sharing these adaptive devices with us. Many people have medical challenges that interfere with our ability to continue to crochet. You are inspiring and I'm grateful that you shared all of these options

You are truly inspiring. I've been following for a few days now, and I'm excited for more from you❤️

Just wow I am in awe of your spirit and determination. So pleased to see you crochet, slow and steady wins the race! Enjoy the new experience and thank you for sharing your progress with us all. Best wishes to you and all your family x

omg your operation was on my birthday, now every birthday I have I will remember you as the women who can do anything she puts her mind on

I was just thinking of when I was about 13 years old. Our church would go Sunday afternoon to the nursing home there in Iowa and have a church service for them. There was a precious sweet little blind lady I loved to sit by. She was blind but crocheted any way..she loved it so and made beautiful throws.

Yep, you’re on your way. Won’t be long now until you can crochet easily and as long as you want.

A friend who has Raynauds too. He was working on our furnace and showed me where a surgeon had opened the blood flow in his palm. It's working for him. He gave me the doctor that has left York, PA and is now in New York. He said to send you the info and maybe it's something they could use for you. I'm so glad you're trying everything until you find the right thing. Hugs 🤗😇 I loved being here with you while you found a solution. YEAH!!

Mama Kaila, Maybe see a occupational therapist suggestions how to adapt some of straps or maybe they can design one for you. Praying you find a way to continue your passion of crocheting. A BIG thanks to all who sent in devices! Blessings

"hey,look I'm crocheting!" I nearly happy cried with you. Then you mentioned how slow you are. I get frustrated about how I'm slower than everyone especially KZreadrs 😅 like you. I have so much love for you thanks for doing these videos.

Kayla, I am so happy to see you crocheting again. I know the change is hard but you are doing a great job. Your determination is so inspiring. Keep pressing on and don't let anything steal your job.

Your yarny friends are all rooting for you. We know that there is something out there that will work just for you. The crochet community sticks together. 👍🧶💯

You’re amazing. ❤ I saw a video with a women who knitted with only one arm! You all spread joy to the world!

Watching this video has given me new hope for myself! I had resigned myself from ever being able to crochet again after losing 6 of my fingers. I'm in awe of you and your determination to do what you love still. I wish I could be like you!

Hi Kayla. I am so happy to see you crocheting and trying to find a good brace. You are on the right track. Like leg amputees, who put on a soft sock over their stump, maybe you need to wear a white cotton, half mitten, worn inside our so there are no seams to irritate your shin. The last thing you need is any rubbing causing an injury. Velcro closures are what is needed for easier fitting and removal. Thank God for Big Daddy’s help. Kayla, don’t get discouraged; you got this. Love, Audrey. ❤️🇨🇦🧶😍👍🙏

You showed up on my recommended. I couldn't stop watching. You are a strong lady with such a gentle and kind voice. I just want to say, Rome wasn't built in a day. There is a perfect set up for you. You will find it, just be patient. Always remember that there is no limit to what you can do. Once you find the perfect solution to accommodate your needs for crocheting, I am going to be watching for you on the speed crochet contests! I'm so happy you aren't a quitter!!!! You go girl!!!!🤩💕

To God be the glory,!! We are sooooo glad that you are still with us and will be able to crochet...

I knew you would always be back to crocheting, it was just matter of healing and time to figure it all out! You are truly an amazing lady and bring so much love and joy to the community 😊💞

Your a great lady! So greatful for Big Daddy and his help with your straps. You are making the best of it! So glad you can crochet again but with time you we'll get better and use to everything you need to crochet. Love you and your whole wonderful family! You are bless with lots of love from family and friends.

You are an inspiration to others who struggle to use their hands!

Bless your heart. You are not a quitter! Love that about you.

I’m so tickled at the number of 👍s and views you’re getting. Yay, you’re crocheting! How sweet of the folks who sent in things for you to try. Praying you find what works best for you! Hug 🤗 and love ❤️!

So pleased to see you crocheting again! I was crocheting alongside you and we were going the same speed so once you get used to your strap you will be flying! I was wondering if it might be worth adding thin layers of masking tape (or something similar with a textured surface) to your hook handle just to increase it's girth ever so slightly to make it a snug fit to the pouch. I'm sure you and Big Daddy will find ways to keep improving it as you gain experience. We are all thinking of you, it must be so challenging learning a new way to crochet but it's fantastic to see you back. Looking forward to December's project.

You are an inspiration to those who are have a disability whether from amputation or Stroke or other defects glad you are back at what you love

I love your determination to continue crocheting! I’m sure it’s so frustrating trying to figure out the “new you” but you’re doing great! I can’t wait to see what your December project will be. 🙂

Keep on experimenting till you find what works best. You will do this. Crochet again my friend. We love you and you are already rocking it!

Wow your patience is amazing and thanks to Big Daddy for the padding when needed!!! ❤

Hi Kayla, you got this. Something will click and it will work. And like you say it's a matter of trial and error. You are an amazing woman. Prayers and hugs from your friend Barbara.

Kayla your awesome and show so much determination. Your struggles and showing us how you work through it gives me courage and determination to work through my own different struggles. Thank you Kayla. Thank you for sharing!!! You've got this girl!!!!

You did good! Yay, yay!

You go girl!🥰You are so determined. I had no doubt that you would be crocheting soon and you are!❤🙏

You are so amazing, Miss Kayla!! ❤❤❤

Kayla, my husband thinks you need a leather fingerless glove with a pocket to hold your different crochet hooks. All of those straps on your hand is just going to cause more issues with the rubbing on your skin. You're doing a great job. You're very inspiring! 🤗❤️🧶

So proud of you. You’re an inspiration ❤

You are such an inspiration!!

Look at you go!!! Proud of you !!!

So proud of. You! Keep on plugging!

You are such an inspiration, Kayla. I laughed with you. I cried with you. I'm cheering for you and can't wait to see what you do!

So happy to see you crocheting again! You are amazing! I knew you would be back at it before long!!

Woohoo! Look at you go girl! That's awesome! ❤️ You've got this!

We are happy too!
