Had to give up knitting due to tendonitis.
So now it's quilting all the way.
I have been tolf that I crochet "wrong" but my grandmother taught me how to crochet so I don't care. Whem she taught me, she told me to wrap the yarn in a loop around my pinkie finger and then the strnad goes over my index finger and that helps control the tension. FYI: Last Christmas, gave DH the yarn for his scarf and this Christmas he finally received the scaref that i had crocheted!! He loved it and I'm relieved it's done so now I can quilt without remorse! :)
