I have learned to make sure I use the wonderful needles, Never bent or damaged. Also I used bamboo straight needles with nylon shafts. They are super light and I can knit with lace weight yarn without pain. I only have one pair so far, but I will replace all my straight needles with these in time.

I limit my knitting time to about 60 minutes each time and then stop to stretch my fingers out, rub my forearms, and grab a hot mug of tea or cocoa to warm up my fingers. And if I knit for more than that in one day, I skip knitting the next day. That’s right, no knitting for 24 hours! But then, that’s a good time to look at patterns for future projects or even go to the lys to grab a skein or two for my stash.
