Hello everyone, I have purchases a small awl haft and have added the finger wrap according to Philip. This will certainly help me gain my confidence in using the awl as I stitch and not drop it! Thank you Philip! My question is regarding the awl haft size in respect to my hand. As I re-watch the Techniques of Hand Stitching series I notice that the Awl haft that Philip uses appears smaller in his hand than mine does in my hand. Sooo.... I am looking for suggestions and input. after just a handful of stitches my hand is revolting...

I will attempt to upload 3 images...
