Like I mentioned the other day, I've started on handmade Christmas gift #2 - a crochet scarf. I've been working on it during breaks from work, in the carpool line at Cookie's school and while I wait for my Cook to finish with his tutoring session. While that may sound like it's in my hands pretty much at all times, I still wonder if my fingers should be hurting as much as they do. I mean if this was the case for everyone, would there be as many crocheters or knitters out there working their magic? My fingers really do hurt so I'm guessing not. Then what is the reason for my pain? Old age? Could be, but I'd like to think...NO. Arthritis? Man, I hope not. Sprained finger? I'd probably be having trouble typing up this post if that is what it is right? Plus, what are the odds that I've sprained ALL 10 fingers??? :) I'm thinking it's my form or technique. Fortunately, unlike the other reasons mentioned, this I can resolve through learning to crochet properly. Not to offend youtube and all its know how (it's my go to for everything!), but I may need to resort to taking an actual class where I am in the same room as the teacher.
Hey, wait! Jeanne, what if we skype? Do you think you could tell if the way I'm holding the yarn, the hook or my glass of wine is the problem? See, its times like these that I wish you were my roomie again. Miss you girl!
If I can figure out how to make a video of myself painfully at work, I will post it. That way any of you in blogland can give me your two cents too. No promises though. I'm still very new to all of this.
