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.

I remember the first time I was being checked for carpel tunnel. As I walked out of the office, a fellow patient was having difficulty communicating with the nurse on the desk, so I offered to interpret sign to speed things up. Afterwards, the woman asked me what I was in for. I signed repetitive stress, and she scunched up her nose, signing back "me too."
Meh.
Which is why the end of the blanket project has been so slow. Aside from a blanket I promised Dad I'd work on (and it's less than 1/2 the size of his) the rest of my projects for a while will be 1 skein projects, to see if it helps to reduce the weight of what I'm working on. And while I like pseudospheres, perhaps they are not the best idea just now...
Meh.
