Knitting Aid - fabulous invention

This wonderful thing is not my product. It's the invention of a young man who wanted to help his grandmother, a woman who loved knitting but whose hands were afflicted with arthritis.

Her grandson's invention delighted her, and he has developed it into a much-needed product. Most of us know someone who can no longer knit and misses it sorely. The difference this tool could make in such a person's life is profound.

This excellent tool has nothing to do with me, and I have no affiliation with the young man who makes it. It's just that it's such a great thing that I couldn't keep it to myself. This little movie was filmed at the Knitting & Stitching show in London, October 2008.

What a wonderful idea! His grandmother is truly blessed to have such a caring grandson.

Cute, but I've looked on his website and all over youtube and still can't find a video of someone actually using it. I wouldn't recommend it as practical unless I could see it in action. For instance, does the hand rest allow one to make a large garment or would it get in the way?
