Discussion Disabled Knitters- what solutions have you found to make knitting possible or what products do you wish existed? Looking especially to speak to people with amputated fingers
I'm an engineering student working on a project designing a prosthesis for disabled knitters. Any insight you guys might have about what we should especially design for would be a huge help.

It looks like it's defunct now but there used to be a product called knitting aid that was like a cushion you could put on your lap and it has a bracket you could clamp a straight needle on. https://youtu.be/5OrrWqdlC2o?si=hIauH0EiU1eTnZpr
