Given that I have already turned that corner with significant back and neck disability... But... all my yarn! My solace and comfort!<br /><br />I had recently been trying out spool/loom knitting with my daughter (developmental disability limits fine motor and coordination)... wonder if using some kind of knitting board might be alternative (with other hand?)<br /><br />Has anyone tried machine knitting as an alternative?<br /><br />I appreciate feedback!<br />Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476887931607653997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732106413415822842.post-65725186203843814412014-10-27T11:38:03.940-04:002014-10-27T11:38:03.940-04:00So Sorry!

I have had this pain for 9 months . Last July I knitted a lot while visiting my grandchildren. Thay wanted scarves, mittens without the fingers, headbands. I love knitting and teaching my grand-daughter of 10 was a very precious time spent together. I started having pain in my right elbow in August. Tought that if I would rest it would go away. I did continue to do wet felting, without pain. But when I would try to reach something or lift or use the can opener, it was really painful, to a point that I could no longer eat using my right hand. I had 2 osteopatic treatments that helped, as long as I did nothing at all. I finally went to seek medical advice. I do have a lateral epicondylitis of my right elbow. I had a month ago a cortisone infiltration, the pain got so bad for the 3 first days, but now I get some things I can do without pain, no lifting or knitting yet. I have been reading too, I have been dreaming of all the beautiful scarves and shawls I want to felt. At times I have been quite depressed of not being able to do anything. My husband would take me to the Museum , then I can think about something else and admire beautiful work of arts. <br />Have you fully recovered by now, did you find a different way for knitting without pain?

Knit in the round ...‘Stranded intarsia’ method<br /><br /> Knit in the round until you’ve done the last row before the intarsia starts.<br /> Start working the contrast colour, but: instead of using a separate strand of yarn every time you change from contrast colour to main colour, use only one strand per colour. When you’re not using the second colour, carry it around in the back every two or three stitches, as you would for stranded knitting.<br /> Note: Don’t pull your yarn too tight, it’ll take the stretch out of your work. Don’t leave it too loose either, or you’ll create holes in your work. To maintain a nice stretch, make sure that you can still spread your stitches on your needles as you would when working with one colour only. It may take some practice, but you’ll get there.<br /> When you’ve reached the end of your row, cut the contrast colour yarn if you haven’t done so already. Make sure to leave a long enough tail to weave it in once you’re finished.<br /> Continue knitting in the round, adding the contrast colour to each row when you need it, carrying it along the back of your work until you’ve reached the last stitch on that row.<br /> Repeat steps 3 to 4 until the whole intarsia part is done.<br /> Continue knitting in the round as you would normally do.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15631267766669539725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732106413415822842.post-68595717784264573022014-04-19T18:37:06.246-04:002014-04-19T18:37:06.246-04:00How did the knitting elbow story end?

I'm not sure if I'm suffering from the same thing as it seems to be more in my forearm than my elbow, but there are some things I just can't lift any more due to the pain. And it's my left arm which surprises me because I'm right handed. I was blaming in on smaller needles. I just want to finish this project I'm working on for my DIL and then perhaps one for myself and then perhaps I can rest it (yes, I'm still in denial).Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08923641039706647805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732106413415822842.post-39067464852484095702013-08-08T14:02:29.411-04:002013-08-08T14:02:29.411-04:00I am so relieved that knitters everywhere are such...I am so relieved that knitters everywhere are such a responsive community. <br /><br />Off to go ice my elbow and hang out on revelry organizing my queue. <br /><br />I did see several exercises on line that I can do to relieve the pain, and they do feel like relief.
