Happy Turkey Day!
 

Been quite some time since I've been able to 'be here' but I've a turn
for the better health-wise, but no promises as to how often I'll be
back. It's been a very difficult summer with surgery a coupla weeks ago.
now it'll be a 2/3 month recovery time. Mainly been reading and after 8
years have finally finished a Granny Square crocheted afghan,
my next goal is a Knitted Ripple Afghan in shades of purple for MOI!
Yuppers!! for moi. May be a long time doing it as I can't knit very long
periods anymore.but I WILL get it done.
No sewing at all this year and I have 2 rows left on an I SPY...baby
celebrated his 2nd HB on Mr Joe's HB......oh well, it may end up being a
Superman Cape :)

Gotta get my feetz back up so you all take care and have a superb Turkey
Day. (Kidlets are doing the dinner)

So good to hear from you~!!!!!!! I haven't been quilting, except for lap
quilts. There is always a lot of mending to do around here! Hope you
continue to feel better as you improve.
Thanks for remembering us! Good luck with your knitting and hand sewing.

Thanks. I haven't been able to 'hand sew' in years...very hard to hold a
small needle. I'm just happy to be able to hold a larger crochet hook
and now will try knitting needles. Knitting needles may be a challenge
for the R hand as I don't have that much dexterity in it---I'll try both
American and Continental style to see which I can do easier. It's so
nice being able to do a lil creative work.
Kidlets did well with the Turkey dinner----------only help I needed to
give was with the carving....next yr I should be able to 'just visit' ;)

Have you considered getting someone to wrap masking tape around the part of
the knitting needles and the crochet hook that you hold?
Maybe a lot of layers of tape would make it easier for the fingers! Hope
this helps!

They make sleeves for crochet hooks to make them easier to hold.
Such things do not work so well for knitting needles as you have to hold
the work on the needles.
However you can get either in wood, which IMHO is a lot easier to hang on
to and work with, especially for knitting.

Now I am cripplingly right handed. To the point where I cannot crochet
the double ended tunisian stitch, nor knit continental style. So I
should imagine that if you are better with your left hand than your
right, those would be the way to go!
