Gratitude for support figuring out how to knit through nerve issues!
A few months ago I posted a plea for help with knitting with a nerve injury. People responded so kindly and generously with their own stories of knitting with limitations - I had (desperately and pitifully) convinced myself I’d never pick up needles again.
Since then, my medical situation has changed and an EMG confirmed I don’t have nerve impingements / damage. On the downside, I’m still in a lot of pain and trying to figure out what’s going on. But I have the clear to knit with time limits, stretching, and while generally being careful of my physical wellbeing. I’m so excited to be back and for my Christmas gift, have invested in Chiaogoo interchangeable needles and a sock knitting class :)))
TL;dr — thanks to everyone for your kindness and examples of knitting through different challenges. I’m excited to figure out my own path forward.
