Knitter's Shoulder or Why I'm Taking a Break


Who knew knitting could be hazardous to your health? It's supposed to be a peaceful, creative, and meditative activity, able to be performed along or in a group, an activity in which process is at least as important as the culminating product. It's not supposed to leave you reaching for analgesics round the clock. Yet here I am, for the second week, trying to find something to occupy my hands while I watch TV.

Of course, I'd heard rumours of a woman who tore her rotater cuff while knitting the brioche stitch using continental technique, but shrugged off the rumours as mere braggadocio. Now I wonder if an MRI lies in my future...

I'll have to content myself in recounting my recent adventures in needlecraft as I prepare to, once again, take up needles and hooks.

76 comments:

  1. It was me and I wasn't bragging--I couldn't knit for about 6 months--I felt desperate for something to do with my hands.

  2. Sorry for the misspelling - I hate it when people get mine wrong. And I knew you were never a deb!

    I should have added that I became a believer and empathizer. It's miserable to have idle hands - they tend to reach for the potato chip bag. I should also add that I'm now terrified to try the brioche stitch, though I've promised Doug the Oriental Neck Tie for Christmas.
