Hello all,

Below is a video tutorial on knitting tension & how to hold the yarn one-handed for those with an upper body disability.

Method one wraps the yarn around the arm a couple of times and can be controlled by the elbow joint.

Method two holds the yarn under your arm, near the armpit and is controlled by tightly squeezing, while the forearm pulls it in place.

The biggest challenge is keeping tension and finding a system that allows you to pull tight but keep a flow.

Thanks for watching!
