Crochet assistance apparatus

A crochet assistance apparatus for supporting a flexible filament, the apparatus comprising:

• a first plurality of elongated projections;
• a second plurality of elongated projections, wherein the apparatus is movable between a first position and a second position, wherein each elongated projection of the first plurality of elongated projections is proximate to the second plurality of elongated projections when the apparatus is in the first position, and wherein one or more elongated projections of the first plurality of elongated projections is moved out of being proximate to the second plurality of elongated projections when the apparatus is in the second position;
• a guide assembly, wherein the guide assembly comprises a guide aperture that extends above both the first plurality of elongated projections and the second plurality of elongated projections;
• and
• a tensioner assembly configured to receive the flexible filament, the tensioner assembly having a first filament contact surface, a second filament contact surface, and a third filament contact surface, wherein the tensioner assembly exerts a resistance to the flexible filament moving through the tensioner assembly.
