I have fallen a bit behind with this because I have been very good as promised and have been resting my hands, but now dare I say it... they are improving, it is such a relief because I was afraid that they never would so thank you all you lovely people for your support your kind comments and best wishes kept me going through the none crocheting days.
I have began to crochet again but very cautiously and taking it slowly, so now I'm trying to catch up.
For Week 16 of the Afghan granny sampler we had to join squares to make the inner rectangle. I must admit I struggled quite a lot with this. I couldn't get it the way I wanted it and it took me ages to feel satisfied with the result, it was a bit like doing a jigsaw puzzle but without the right pieces.

Now I am trying to join the other squares to it, I think that's going to be even harder and it could take quite a while, I won't give up on it though and hopefully one day, I will have something resembling a blanket and if I ever get there I will show you how I did it, wish me luck! :)

I love it Linda - it's looking very pretty. :)
ReplyDeletep.s. would wrist braces help when you're crocheting? My right wrist has started to bother me lately and I'm thinking about getting a brace.
Thank you, I think it might Debi and I would try one if I were you before it gets any worse, but I think I need more than that as my thumbs hurt the most, I do wear braces at night and I think it's them that have helped, I am thinking of getting crafter gloves to use while I crochet:)
DeleteKeep on taking it easy Linda, or you'll undo the good work you've done. Support gloves help me a lot - you get so used to wearing them that you forget you've got them on. Here is a link: http://www.cottonpatch.co.uk/acatalog/Creative_Comfort.html
ReplyDeleteYes I know you are right and I am taking it easy, thank you for the link I am definitely going to et some of those. :)

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how your blanket turns out. So sorry you're having to deal with hand pain. It's frustrating when the mind wants to but the body rebels! Hope you continue to feel better.xo
