Today, I’ll be explaining the side effects of over crocheting or knitting. I talk about what to do instead of crocheting or knitting to fill your time, giving your hands and wrists a break.
I offer some practical suggestions so that you know how to tell when you’re overdoing it. So if you are experienced side effects, make sure to slow down and give your hands and wrist a break.
Let me know if you enjoyed this video in the comments below and if you want to see any specific tutorials or content, leave me a note. Also, if you have any questions about either crochet or knitting, I love hearing from you guys.
Be sure to like, comment and subscribe so you don’t miss any tutorials or announcements.

It's difficult to think crocheting can be dangerous, but it is taxing on the hands, so it makes sense. Thanks for your warning. ♥

I have found that wearing wrist braces while sleeping helps a lot. I use the kind that has the curved metal bar that keeps the wrist in the right position.

@@simplymadebyhand You're welcome. If I am doing something wrist-intensive, I wear them while I'm sleeping whether they hurt or not. It gives the inflammation (or whatever it is) a chance to settle down before it gets too bad.

Stretches, posture, and using the correct hooks for your style of crochet is most important ❤same goes for knitting

I imagine that beginners tend to have more aches and pains than those who have been doing it longer, but it's all good advice! ♥

Excellent vid with many good ideas and suggestions. I'm dealing with what may be a sprained wrist so I'm taking a break from crocheting watermelon keychains as part of my pro-Palestinian effort. Still managing the pro-P painted rocks and handmade journals that I leave in all sorts of places. TFS!

If I overdo the crochet, I Tunisian; if I overdo that, I knit, and when I overdo that, I Tunisian; if I overdo that, I order on DoorDash, coz I'm starvin'! ; having overdone all that, I quilt; if I overdo that and skip meals I cook a lot and bake, so I can get back to stikkin' or yarnin' sumpthin'!

Been crocheting, knitting, tatting, needlework and hand quilting for almost 70 years. What exercises were used to strengthen your wrists

@simplymadebyhand 2 ай бұрын

My wrist strength has slowly built up from crocheting and knitting more and more. What suggestions do you have with all of your years of wisdom? 😃

Yeah I've honestly really learned my lesson about over crocheting, I already have joint problems and bad joint problems run in my family, and there's been times where I just wanted to finish a project and the hand that holds the hook gets swollen, and I'm only 18 😅

I fractured my thumb while crocheting. I'm wearing a metal brace as of today for two weeks. Then the surgeon will decide if we need surgery. I'm sad. No crochet. I started three months ago and was intense.😂 2 blankets, 2 sweaters and a few bags. I hope I can crochet again in a couple months, it was my daily dopamine. I'm 70 and it was so fun and rewarding. 😊
