Background

It's official: I have tennis elbow--probably as a result of recent wild weeding efforts. Unfortunately the treatment involves rest plus anti-inflammatories and appropriate exercises. And most of my crafting activities rely on being able to flex my elbow. So my pic today is my radio--tuned as usual to ABC Classic FM.
I like to have music in the background as I work, but it's not enough to occupy my mind if I don't have crafts to do. If this goes on much longer I'll be teaching myself to work left-handed. I did teach myself to knit in the continental style a while ago, but I don't know if that action will protect my inflamed tendon enough. Oh well, I'll just have to see how things go.

    :(
    If I go on a mad knitting bender I wind up with "knitters elbow".
    Does it hurt to spin too?

    Spinning hurts a bit--and it's starting to get warm too. Will see about some woollen spinning, but then there's the carding to do, so dunno really.
