I made it through the day.

 The arthritis won today.  

My New Hooks from Boye

 Last year I bought a set of crochet hooks for people with arthritis from Grandma’s Spinning Wheel in Tucson.  They are made by Boye.  I do love how my hands don’t hurt afterwards. They take a very light touch. Not even a full grip. Since we got back from vacation I have put 3 1/2 rounds on a granny square blanket for me in cotton.  I will post a picture of my stash dive blanket when it is finished.

My on comment goes directly to the people at Boye.  It is really nice the you color Coordinated the color of the handle and the paint color. My only concern with this, is that they are very hard to read. I am now going to have to go through them with a sharpie to write the numbers and hook sizes in black ink for an easier read.  Otherwise you did a fantastic job on them. Also a nice case to store them in would be a nice extra. Thank you for thinking about people with arthritis.  

A Day Off

 Today I took most of the day off.  I also found out that my shoulder does not like to be iced.  After that mistake I immediately went to put some heat on.  The heat did the trick.  I am still trying not to use my hands much.  It is not help my hands, but my elbow is better.
