Abstract: One or more ergonomic crochet devices are provided herein. A crochet device may comprise a curved elongated shaft and/or a grip anchor. The curved elongated shaft may be configured to provide a depressed resting angle of the crochet device when held by the user at rest. The depressed resting angle may result in a hook of the curved elongated shaft being positioned at a lower position than conventional crochet devices when held at rest. In this way, reduced wrist flexing may be used to lower the hook into a crocheting angle and/or maintain the hook at the crocheting angle during crocheting activity. The grip anchor may be configured to create a pivot point of the crochet device near the grip anchor. In this way, small wrist motion may translate into large positional change of the hook in order to easily rotate and/or manipulate the crochet device during crocheting activity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of polymerisable diketopyrrolopyrroles in colour filters, which can themselves be used for example in electro-optical systems such as TV screens, liquid crystal displays, charge coupled devices, plasma displays or electroluminescent displays and the like. In contrast to conventional pigments the polymerisable diketopyrrolopyrroles do not tend to aggregate and, hence, show very good dispersibility. Color filters prepared by using the polymerisable diketopyrrolopyrroles have high transparence and pure hue. In addition, they facilitate adjustment of color points and enable a large choice of shades.
