I did try to switch to a proper continental style, but never could get the hang of it.

Thank you for the essential oil suggestion. I was using cinnamon oil with some success but I ran out and haven't had a chance to get more. I will certainly look into the "deep blue" blend.

It's so great when you are able to do the things you love again. <br /><br />I actually had to switch over to continental style knitting from the English pick'n'throw so that I could keep knitting, as my wrists and elbows where bothering me too much otherwise. That's been a good move so far ~ I can knit faster, smoother, and for longer without anything hurting!

I had some great yarn to make gifts at Christmas but I couldn't knit-- I physically couldn't :-( My hands and wrists hurt so bad. I used to have an Etsy shop where I sold some of my handwork such as knitted scarves and hats but after a while, I didn't have time.. so as you can see, I love to knit as you do.<br /><br />I am trying an essential oil blend from doTerra called Deep Blue (I use the cream) and I'm going to start massaging it into my hands and wrists daily to see if it helps. It breaks my heart not to be able to knit. <br /><br />I know you love essential oils and making lotions and potions and such so I thought I'd share where I buy mine at doTerra: http://www.mydoterra.com/elizabethlaumas/<br />Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266461553419186593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1683410278809912462.post-21181091249181119942015-02-12T11:20:48.371-08:002015-02-12T11:20:48.371-08:00Yet another person reminding me that if I knew how...Yet another person reminding me that if I knew how to knit, I too could have awesome vintage style sweaters. <br />You look lovely in both of these.
