My left pointer and middle fingers are so dry they be cracking and snagging on my yarn and its becoming so painful, I hate using lotion tho because it messes with the yarn. Any tips or products for this?
 
You might want to try putting on some CeraVe Healing Ointment before you hit the hay. It has all night to soak in while you're dreaming. Personally, I've found that Eucerin or any thick, luxurious cream works wonders for me. I totally get it, dealing with dry skin can be tough sometimes. Oh, and don't forget to drink plenty of water throughout the day, it's amazing how much being hydrated can improve your skin. Have you had a chance to check out either of those products yet?
 
Try out hand balms, you can rub it on before you start, let it sink in, then maybe wear a thin cotton glove on top if you need extra protection
