Speaking of fumbles thimbles, I've worn a painful callous on the tip of my middle finger, right hand. With the yarn coming in from, the left hand, sometimes I use the middle finger on my right hand to push the stitch along. The tighter the knitting the more the pressure to get the stitch from the left needle to the right.
I experimented with using a thimble to protect my finger. That worked okay, sort of, but the thimble slipped too easily off my finger, and was hard to keep track of. Reluctant to get out of my upstairs recliner, I peered around and fixed my gaze on a small piece of elastic bandaging I had used, in vain, to get rid of a corn on a toe. I had paid a ridiculous prize for such a small piece of nothing, and I couldn't bring myself to throw it away. What would happen if I put it on my finger?
Success! Works amazingly well. Protects my finger. Being elastic it stays on my finger. So glad this inspiration occurred to me. No more fumbling around.
