Hope you all enjoy this video! First time dipping my toe into a longer format of interview/podcast, let me know what you think! And MASSIVE thank you to Andrea, make sure to follow her on IG and check out her website for MORE info and tips! Links in description!
I needed this so badly. I am a huge fan of physical therapists. I had a frozen shoulder for over a year and they fixed it in 5 weeks. It stayed fixed for 3 years now. I put a pillow or lap desk on my lap or even the table when I’m knitting.
I really enjoyed your video. I have been knitting since I was 4 years old; I am turning 60 in May '24 so I guess I have been crafting quite some time! I also suffer from fibromialgia so the pain when I knit is elevated slightly. The exercises given here were so useful except the final stretch which was beyond me but the thought gave me a chuckle anyway. Thank you.😄
Thanks so much for the super helpful video! I loved the longer length format, and found it both educational and also interesting enough to keep my attention for the entire time span!
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the video :) I’m considering mixing in some longer format videos every once in a while, something people can knit to :)
Thank you so much for this super informative video!! I was looking for a video like this, and so happy I found it. I am struggling with pain while knitting, even went to a physiotherapist. But with this video I learned even more, thanks so much, really appreciate it!
Thank you. I’ve had to totally stop kmitting after I developed painful Bouchards nodes on two of my fingers on either hand. I would love to return to knitting but I just dont know how it would be possible. My OT said to knit for maximum 30 minutes but stop if it hurts, but it hurts straight away!!
I have arthritis in several joints and knitting can aggravate my thumb pain. I have a TENS (trans-epidural nerve stimulation) device that is a great drug-free way to relive the pain.
Thank you Cletus and Andrea. I found this video through Andrea’s IG feed, always informative and helpful. Some constructive feedback for future interviews, I would prefer that there weren’t any pop-up text or emojis. They were distracting and then eventually annoying. Please do take this as a constructive rather than critical suggestion. Thanks for this!
Ah this is great, but the pain that I suffer so badly from is in my hands. I do warm up exercises but still my thumbs and fingers hurt! Wrists, shoulders, neck etc all ok
Thanks for another great video! 😃 it was indeed very informative thanks to Andrea who did an amazing job explaining everything :) Btw, I also love your editing style and your pronounciation of my Instagram name wasn’t too bad 😄👍🏼
Great topic. Hope to hear your " learning to knit" experience. See some of your finished work. Have you tried or considered patterns from Mina Philip the knitting expat. Her persian inspired cowls are beautiful.
Thanks for watching! And that’s definitely on the list of videos I want to make :) if you want to see more of my knits feel free to follow me on IG @cletus.tries.knitting :) and yes, her designs are gorgeous!
I had backpain for knitting 5 days straight, knitting is addictive. I had to stopped for a while to recover. And search and found this video. I didnt encounter back pain from crochet ever, been crocheting for 5 years, when i started knitting then i encountered problems. Wonder whats the difference? Knitting requires more of our muscle strength than crochet.
I had this problem too! I'm not sure, but I know with knitting because I am new to the craft I am a lot more tense than when I crochet, so I put more strain on myself. I also lean forward more to look at it. I've had more pain with knitting than crochet, but I am guessing it is the way I am holding the needles and knitting.
@@chelsym3459 once you get used to it, use metal needles so it will glide and learn to relax your hand, ive learned now and i dont feel pain anymore plus im using metal needles or good wood
