Hi Lois, Have you considered loom knitting as an option during your recovery? We discuss it briefly in the current episode and you can also find a short description of one of the looms we sell here on our site. For more information, you may also want to check out the Knitting Board website. Hope that helps and hope you have a speedy recovery! ~Zontee~

I am an avid knitter when I can get time away from work. Today I fractured a bone in my left hand. I am going to see a hand therapist tomorrow. Any ideas on how I can keep knitting?
She (therapist) says she can make me a couple of splints that will keep me able to use my first 2-3 fingers and thumb without compromising the broken area. She also told me not to let a doctor put me in a cast because I have arthritis in my hands, and the hand would never be as flexible or functional if they casted it. Sounds like something you all may want to know about. She said to always go to an orthopedist who specializes in hands to get the best results.

Sorry, I should have been more clear on the curling edges. Knit at least 4 stitches at the beginning and end of a row, knit 4 stitches, knit your pattern and knit 4 stitches at the end of your pattern.

I felt a personal attachment to the blog ” Anne, self taught left-handed crocheter”and followed it almost daily. What happened to her blog?

To the curling edges ladies……..I have found that when making a scarf in stockinette…….it’s necessary to start with 4 knit stitches at the beginning and end of pattern before you start the actual pattern.

I have the same problem as Claudia…Just finished a scarf and the edges curl….Look forward to being given a solution…..It is in stockennette stitch and starts k1 - purl to end, next row P1 - knit to end….That is it….

Thisis more a request for help than a comment…I hope someone can help me.

I have been knitting and crocheting for over 50 years…last year I crocheted 8 full size Granny afgans, 3 adult sweaters & 4 children size sweaters but I have a problem.

Could someone please tell me what I can do to keep edges from curling. I like to knit shawls but the edges give me fits.

Will appreciate any suggestions.Claudia (claudiarose@inu.net)
