Intermission
Written on October 23, 2007
There will be a short intermission from your regularly scheduled programming on Stitches East while I knit like a maniac on a project for a friend’s event on Saturday (more of which later). Programming will be resumed when (if??) I finish.
Please send new left hand, mine hurts.
Panic, panic, panic.

sorry, no (spare) left hand to offer you but I have found that a massage with a nice riceh handcream/body lotion helps. Long strokes, taking in the wrist as well. Try about half an hour before each knitting session, during breaks (allow time for the cream to sink in!), when you finish and again jsut before getting in to bed.

Oh dear, I hope that you feel better soon. Take lots of breaks.

Oh, what are you knitting…nosey or what??? No, just interested….Do you find it hurts in your thumb joint? I have terrible soreness and aches at the base of my left thumb lately and since you’ve said about your hand I wondered if it might be caused by knitting? My sister insists it’s arthritis, which she has quite badly, but I don’t want to believe her!

My left hand doesn’t hurt when i knit, only my lttle finger on my right camps up and hurts quite a bit, do you think we could do a three legged (handed) knit….I hold the left and you the right!?

cramps…maybe my little finger does camp it up a bit but I meant cramps!

Lots of exercises and breaks. Try tiger balm, sometimes it helps, but you have to be careful or your knitting will smell of camphor:)
