Hello Hello Fiber Folks!

Today, I'm going back to my academic roots in human anatomy to talk a little bit about stretches and exercises to help prevent knitting- and other crafting-related hand and wrist pain or injuries.

I hope you find this video helpful in terms of learning, or even a simple reminder to take breaks and care for your most important tool, YOU, so we can do what we love for a good time AND long time.

This video is not totally comprehensive. Topics that are NOT found in this video include skin care and fiber sensitivities or abrasiveness and changing tools (e.g. from metal to wood or vice versa) to help with grip and tension tweaks. There is plenty of info. on these topics online.

Please share any of your crafting hand- and wrist-care tips or resources in the comment section, and don't forget to like and subscribe if you enjoy my content!

It has never been more true when I say that I wish you HEALTH & HAPPY KNITTING :)

Emily
