    Vibrating Crochet Hook

    This vibrating crochet hook can be used to measure the resistance of a crochet stretch sensor while it is being made. Continuity and resistance can be measured while the sensor is being crocheted. The vibration motor is powered by a 3V coin cell battery. The less resistance, the stronger the crochet needle will vibrate.

      You are so cool! I don’t suppose I’ve read anything like this before.

      Seriously.. thanks for starting this up. This site is something that’s needed on the internet, someone with some originality!
