Making Soft Handles for my crochet hooks

I stopped crocheting because it hurts.  I decided I needed softer handles so I bought some foam pencil holders from the dollar store.   They are too big in diameter though, so I rolled one up, sew it along the length tightly and insert the needle through another one.

This is what it looked like when I finished pulling it through.

Next I inserted my crochet hook.  Viola, large comfy grip.
