knit in moderation
in order to preserve the integrity of my hands/arms, i will be de-tox myself from knitting, and related activities for this coming week. that includes knitting (of course), web-surfing (for knitting-related topics), and minimal blogging (this one is hard to stay away from completely).
hopefully, with such occasional voluntary self-restraint, i will be able to knit continously and happily without pain and suffer for a long time to come.
before i go into a short reclusion, here's my latest progress of sockapal-2-za socks. other WIPs, they are waiting in the wing, not forgotten (ie, SYNO scarf).



Comments
The socks are absolutely *gorgeous*! Hope you feel better soon.

http://ergocise.com/stretch.htmlTry this link. Stretching as helped me through carpal pain, 'tennis elbow' and other RM pain. Do it a couple of times a day and strengthen your muscles. Hope it works.
