We do need steenkin' badges

So I stumbled across The Illustrious Order of Cast On Knitting Scouts. I resemble some of these remarks:

Unmentionables worth a mention

The new Rockin' Sock Club colorway?



STR + my undies = OTP.

I'm telling you, it's FATE. Maybe I should knit a bra.

Still knitting.

On the needles ... one hat that was supposed to be LAST Christmas' present. The mate to my first sock. A tiny sock for my niece. A dishcloth in greens, yellows and pinks that I began on a flight to visit my family.

More to come, including a curious coincidence involving Rockin' Sock Club yarn.

RS = repetitive stress = really sucks

I seem to be having repetitive-stress problems. Feh. So the knitting has not been going as planned, exactly.

I have had recurring problems with this over the years, but it generally was nothing that some ibuprofen and a few days of taking it easy couldn't cure. This? It's been frequent over the past couple of weeks.

I'm trying to be more aware of how I'm mousing, in hopes that it's not just the knitting that's causing me grief. I'm also watching how I knit, to avoid tight hands or tight stitches or other situations that can aggravate the problem. And, of course, I'm making sure to avoid marathon knitting sessions, and to vary the size of the needles I'm using.

I don't want to have to give up knitting. Or to give up knitting on tiny needles.
