Have had to stop knitting after a few rows today as my hands are not co-operating. Thumbs to ring fingers on both hands are numb, and moving and stretching them is painful :( makes for interesting typing too. (Aargh!) Off to find entertainment in my craft room that I can manage today. Maybe looking at patterns and thinking about tidying up a bit?
I really want to get the cardigan I am working on finished by tomorrow too, ho hum, never mind.

Will you be wearing the cardi to the meet Miss?
Hope your fingers allow you to, give them a coffee break then off you go again :hihi:
Want to carry on knitting, but too painful. Will wear tomorrow if I can knit half a front and a sleeve today...

Wear it anyway, what ever state it's in! Say it's all the fashion these days! :o
LOL! Maybe...
Giving up trying to knit for a while now, going to have a rest instead... and as for the housework, whenever!
Oh I hate it when I knit too much and it affects my arms. I get pain up my forearms to my elbow when I've done too much. My fingers aren't usually too affected. I have all next week off work though so I'm bound to end up with pains then as I'll spend it all knitting :)

I had neuritis last year from typing, and was told to rest the hands and take (I think) Neurofen. You might find this (http://www.knitty.com/issuespring03/FEATarthritis.html) article useful. Rest was the only thing that got rid of my neuritis though, so you might have to just flick through patterns tomorrow, or enjoy the scintillating conversation!
Thank you Knitbird. Felt down yesterday as really wanted to knit but simply couldn't. Walked in sunshine instead and ignored housework! Hands feeling better today, but will take it easy on the knitting, so that I can do some, hopefully, tonight.
