I have short tendons in my hands. I cannot fully straighten my hands at all, and some of my fingers hurt when they are curled too far towards my palm (think like making a fist).
I struggle with hand crafts, as my hands get sore super fast even when bent. I know you don’t need straight fingers for crochet, but still I struggle with it. I have tried a few ways to hold the yarn and I either struggle with preventing my fingers from bending too much on their own and getting in the way of yarn, or my hands just hurt bad.

Same with embroidery but not as instant of a pain.

Any tips would be helpful. I bought a kit but it is too painful to try.
