- I find it way easier to pick up dropped stitches in crocheting than in knitting!
- Every now and then I find myself holding the hook like a three-year-old holds a spoon (this description courtesy of a post I saw a few days ago)! I have to keep reminding myself to hold the hook the way the books say is the right way, i.e., like a pencil.
- Regardless of which way I hold the hook, my right hand cramps up fairly regularly and I have to stop working for a couple of minutes. This isn’t too surprising, though, as I get the same sort of cramping whenever I try handwriting anything.
- I am truly infuenced by my computer-run life. Whenever I finish a row, I have this kneejerk reaction to press “Save”, and whenever I make a mistake I think, “That’s ok, I’ll just hit ‘Undo'”! I wonder how long it will take me to get used to the fact that I can’t do those things?!
