Awww bummer, Gail! Hope it's an easy quick cheap fix and that you're soon on your way with no more problems!

I'm bummed, was trying to crochet myself a wool hat, used a tight stitch and flared up my carpal tunnel pretty badly. Still waiting for the flare-up to die down so I can go back to crocheting doilies--guess I'll buy a hat! *rueful look*

Right now I'm working on 2 pairs of socks: the first pair were supposed to be a Christmas present, the 2nd pair were going to be a birthday present (my sister saw the colour and immediately wanted them).
The 1st pair suffered from "second sock syndrome" - I just couldn't face working on another sock with all those tiny stitches and the heel turn which never looks good. So I didn't start it until after the new year. And I made the mistake of watching football - which meant I made a stupid mistake and had to rip out a lot of work!
The pair I started last night is with a different wool - - so I'm hoping I'll get more done before I get tired of it!

I tried to do knitting once... I nearly stabbed myself in the forehead with the needle...

Only easy afghans and scarves will give me any relaxation!

I wish the socks and hats came easy to me, but they dont

Have you tried doing them both at once? For me it's the ONLY way. All my socks are done two at once toe up using Judy's Magic Cast On with a super easy, no wrap fleegle heel.
