I know, who do I think I am? Attempting to do a hand intensive charity gift such as knit and crocheted items. Well they are needed. It is going to be a cold winter here in the northwest! And its a way of keeping my hands moving and not being stiff. However, the key is to do a little at a time and stop before things start to hurt.
I learned from being a respiratory therapist that when I have to bag a person for any length of time to keep the elbows in to reduce fatigue (otherwise you look like a bat!). This is true for knitting and crocheting. I keep my elbows in or rest them on a pillow to help with pain and fatigue. I will post pics of my attempts at making hats and scarves for those chilly heads and cheeks out there.
You are welcome to post any links with charities that need knitters and crocheters with donations.
Merry Christmas!
