as crocheters our hands create magical , wonderous things with a ball of string and a hook.they are hard working and precious to us , so we need to take care of them because they do get tired &weak from time to time from fatigue & stress of all we do with them. NOT just crocheting but in everything we do
so im passing on some of the tips ive picked up in the last 30 odd years to help my hands along
1.if your hands are geting tire,tingly or numb while crocheting TAKE A BREAK!!! Dont over work them crochet is meant to be fun and relaxing not hurtful and a chore lol
2;try massaging your wrists all the way to fingertips {your ask hubby,boyfriend etc to do this}it gets the circulation going,and feels great
3:if your working on a large project like afghan take breaks often to let wrist and hand rest do a little wrist excerise by flexing them up and down and side to side {twist} dont to hard i keep one of those little squishy balls in my bag that i use i give each hand a couple of squeezes that helps too
4:i also use a heating pad in the winter mostly i put it on the arm rest an if i need it just pull it in my lap an my crochet hand rests right on it
and you know to take aspirin or aleve if needed or us ben gay or a creme like it
well that all for now ill post more tips later
happy crocheting
