I enjoy working on small crochet projects while resting in bed. As you all know, I like to keep my hands busy if at all possible! For my birthday my sister gave me this book: Crochet One-Skein Wonders. It is full of great little crochet projects that can be made using one skein of yarn or less. I have a lot of yarn that was passed on to me from my Oma, and this book has had lots of great patterns and ideas for me as I use the yarn remnants.
In January I made these fingerless gloves using yarn from Oma. I never thought I would be a fingerless glove person, but these have been so nice to use at night! Sometimes my fingers get cold while I am typing, holding a book, or crocheting in the winter. These fingerless gloves really help! Now I have a way to keep my hands busy wand warm at the same time.
What have you been doing lately to keep your hands busy?
So fun!! I haven't been knitting or crocheting much bc I started watercolor and love it. But I have a lot of problems with my arms and hands. I saw a OT and she wanted me to do putty exercises but my PT & I were talking maybe picking up crochet in moderation as a hand work out.
ReplyDeleteThat's so great that you are doing water color! Crochet as a hand work out - that's a good way to consider it. I hope that you will be able to do some crocheting again. It sounds like much more fun than putty exercises. Either way, I hope that the OT helps!
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful! Pretty colours too :) I have problems with my arms and so can't knit at the moment (I haven't ever succeeded at learning crochet) but I have been enjoying chalk drawing at the moment. Blending the colours is so fun :) and I also have been reading alot- does that count? :) probably not! I also have done a bit of watercolour too lately, but more chalk drawing.
ReplyDeleteChalk art and water color sounds like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI am envious of those who can knit and crochet, neither of which I can do. Nor can I sew. My mother was quite the seamstress, I have trouble hemming a pair of pants. Your fingerless gloves are quite clever and look like they would work very well for you.
