A Mystery has been solved!
I use my hands all day
spinning, dyeing, knitting
and now horseback riding
~ I finally figured out why my hands were hurting so dang much these past months ~
The doc told me I had RSI
and needed to have my hand in a brace and take it easy.
Easy?
Are you kidding me I don't have time for that.
A year ago I started working out 4-5 times a week using a 10 lbs kettle ball
it's is an amazing workout
but not for my hands
it can get really heavy with the constant swing motion
I feel so stupid- but also so grateful
that I figured out that is the reason for the pain!
There is nothing so depressing when knitting is just so excruciatingly painful
so I guess it's back to running
and more yoga.

ReplyDeleteI just received a skein of your yarn and i love it. Not ready to knit with it - just admiring. I like "poetry in color"
ReplyDeleteI like 1 and 12 - but I'm a simple, kind of person. (:
ReplyDeleteI do love your new logo. Some day (when I'm allowed to buy yarn again), I will try your yarns. The colors are so very nice. You certainly have an eye for it. (:
My fav is dream knit love. Sorry about your hands, you better pamper them and baby them so you are back to being super healthy!
ReplyDeleteOh, you really are a yarn goddess!
ReplyDeleteI like Poetry in Color and Dream. Knit. Love.
I hope your hands will start to feel better soon.
I am suppose to wear a brace and when I do my hands really
do feel better, but I'm not real good at doing what I'm told!
Tough choice....

ReplyDelete:)Lisa
1 & 3
ReplyDeleteThank you all for helping me - great to get feedback :)
ReplyDeleteso far a tie between #1 and #3
Hi Camilla,
ReplyDeleteI was delighted to see your comment on my blog! Thank you! Have a wonderful day.
Love, Taryn
I like #4 for its rhyme and with your logo. Hmmm
ReplyDeletePet-able color.
:) Helen
I would choose nr 3. Isn't that what it's all about when it comes to knitting? Runner up is definitely nr 1, brings out the artsy side of what you do.
ReplyDeleteLove the new colors, you have me drooling here.. and hoping that your hands get better. Krya på dig!
Why hello there mummy of 4, me too, including the hand issues, only mine was Carpal Tunnel Sydrome. I've had it since i was pregnant with my 4th baby aged 28, took me 8 years to get the surgery/ find time - you know the drill, especially when you are a craftaholic. I'm at the 2.5 month mark since surgery, pain & numbness went instantly, magic surgery, just dealing with the swelling & get up off the Yoga mat like a very old old lady as the pressure on my palms is still tender, but i'm getting there. Don't put off taking care of this, i did & i almost made it irreparable, shudder. Take care Free Range Chickety Chick, we're just getting into having chickens in the garden, they are gorgeous, love Posie
ReplyDeleteOh nice yarn too, i have plenty waiting to be used, i haven't sewn, knitted or crocheted for almost 8 months, it was my business for over a decade & poof, i gave it all up, because of my silly hands, love Posie
ReplyDeleteI like dream.knit.love - and I love your yarn too!!
