Crochet Jiggumbob

It's a whatsit, thingamejig, doodah to help maintain tension whilst crocheting. Not easy to use!

PoJT - a morning with my favourite cousin strolling through muddy woods and sharing pots of tea.

Fascinating thingamajig. I think you captured a perfect image of it.

Very elegant looking jiggumbob! Anything I post is going to be much more mundane

[Judith Johnson]

Looks fascinating, I hope it works.

[Mags]

Now that is very cool!

[Susan Wakely]

That’s a fancy jiggumbob.

[Mark St Clair]

Just learned something new!

[Rob Z]

Wow Jackie - I'm in awe of you being able to use that thing as well as actually crocheting at the same time. It looks so tricky!

[Anne]

It looks lovely, great shot

[Peter]

Well captured closeup detail Jackie:)

[Kathy]

I have seen these rings but haven't used one. Nice close up of the design and crochet.

[Joan Robillard]

Good capture

Nice shot

[LManning (Laura)]

How desperately clever! Nicely presented.

[Kathy A]

Well, that's a interesting contraption, great word too

[Valerie Chesney]

Wow! I admire you even trying.
This "whoseywhatsi" my dear Nana would say!

[Tia]

Very ornate gadget! Think I’d be tempted by it as an item of jewellery!

[Brian]

Love the story telling image, the title and the story.

@briaan thank you so much
@tiaj1402 it's not comfortable
@happysnaps I'm struggling

@kjarn it is a new word to me
@ljmanning thank you
@bkbinthecity took a few tries to achieve

@joansmor thank you
@randystreat not sure I'm using it right
@pcoulson phone set to macro

@365anne it's pretty but not easy to use
@robz it's very tricky
@wakelys a gift from a non-crocheting friend!

@marlboromaam but how was it invented?
@busylady I'm sure in skilled hands it does
@grammyn nahh
@shutterbug49 thank you

After posting, I checked the crochet, found I'd made a mistake and had to frog ( that's undo/unravel/pull out in crochet parlance) six inches, about half of what I'd done, which was most annoying. Can't blame the jiggumbob though!!

A very interesting device. I had to wrap the yarn around my finger to give it the right tension.

[JackieR]

@haskar I've gone back to that, this device is too difficult and splits the yarn
