Thank you everyone for your sympathy and advice regarding my elbow.
It is, as you all guessed, a repetitive strain injury all due to crocheting for too long over several days..
Last week we stayed up late watching breaking bad on tv and I crocheted whilst watching it, for hours…
I now have orders to stop crocheting and I have anti-inflamitary tablets.
Yuk Yuk and Yuk.
However the Dr. did not mention anything about Macramé…..
We did this at school in the 70’s I wonder if it was part of the curriculum ?
So I found my old Book from the 70s! and some Macramé ingredients…
Conferred with my toh for some help; I needed something to secure it with, he suggested a clamp…
and I was off…
its fast and addictive just like crochet…except it does not hurt my elbow…
It will eventually be a plant holder with a little baby cactus in a jar….
Macramé wins today.
Hurrah I have something to do…
