Do you have aches and pains when you knit or crochet? It’s heartbreaking when the thing we love so much causes us pain or even worse – injuries. I was recently told that my posture while knitting and crocheting had caused some serious irritation in my shoulders leaving me with painful mornings and sleepless nights. I’m lucky. I caught it before it got too bad. That’s why today, as we move into our busy season, I want to bring awareness to your posture and habits while knitting and crocheting so you can avoid any potential issues that could be looming The post Posture Awareness for Knitters and Crocheters appeared first on B.Hooked Crochet | Knitting.

The Crochet Crowd started in 2008 under just a quick hobby YouTube Channel, for a fun hobby that quickly developed into a go-to resource for Crocheters. Mikey continued to see how far it would go. In October 2010, Diva Dan and Mikey decided to rename the company as The Crochet Crowd®. It was then we realized we were not just a crochet page, we were a true community. Our mission is to dish out inspiration all day, everyday and we do it all on The Crochet Crowd Facebook, Website and YouTube.

Brainy Thing:    22:00                                Behind the Redwood Curtain:  38:45   What we learned from our knitting: Margaret played with  crocheted hearts from  DIY Wedding by Jennifer E. Ryan either in Interweave Crochet Summer 2015 or as a special collection on the Interweave Website.  They were cute, quick and fun. They are called Guest Lapel Pins on Ravelry. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/guest-lapel-pins   Catherine shares Towashis  she received from her swap. One was made of a  worsted cotton, the second from sugar and cream and the third was sugar and cream with a portion from the specialized yarn, Sugar and Cream Scrubby  which is more specialized Catherine continues to knit baby socks for Afghans for Afghans.   She modified the Kate Atherly Baby Sock http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/baby-socks-23   to have ribbing on the top of the foot.   Brainy Thing:  New Research Finds Way to Speed up Muscle Memory Learning John Hopkins’ researchers find keys to speeding up learning for patients with neurological conditions, including post stroke.   Could these techniques work for knitters and crochets? http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/media/releases/want_to_learn_a_new_skill_faster_change_up_your_practice_sessions   Behind the Redwood Curtain:  38:45 Margaret talks about the “scientific” and the oral  history of the native tribes still thriving in the Humboldt Bay area. Much of her research is based on  Two Peoples, One Place by Ray Raphael and Freeman House.  http://www.amazon.com/Peoples-Place-Freeman-House-Raphael/dp/1883254019.   Podcast Business: The incentive for joining the Ravelry group  Teaching Your Brain to Knit  http://www.ravelry.com/groups/teaching-your-brain-to-knit  and the contest for Knitting Tips continue.

The ultimate goal of this program is to raise 1 million dollars by October 2015 to begin treating those afflicted by this terrible disease.

Shoutouts, thank yous, and love to Dawn and James of Wolfe Farms for mentioning us and to Heather Ordover of Craftlit for playing our promo! Catching Up (1:20) Laura and her husband celebrated their twelfth wedding anniversary. She has also been having woes surrounding cable and internet service. She’s channeled her woes into her dying for a new LYS that will be carrying her yarn and for the Mean Girls Yarn Club and for her Lambie Toes yarn. Speaking of which, the Mean Girls Yarn Club will be hosting a Wank-A-Long (Knit-a-long, Crochet-a-long, or a Weave-a-long), running from July 1 to August 31. There will be prizes. Here is a Ravelry thread for more information. JoniLvs Neddy has won our milestone prize (for hitting 100 members in our Ravelry Group). Jen saw Monsters University, which has a surprising amount of knitwear in it. She saw some great theatre at the Young Playwrights Festival, produced by the Blank Theatre, which has Noah Wyle (a.k.a. President Doctor Carter) as artistic producer. Jen has been cooking and has some recipes on her blog. Laura and Jen also attended a fantastic knitting party. Laura did the party favors (which were yarn), and experimented with dying different bases. In the Knitting Bag (13:10) Laura is working on her Mother Bear inspired by Wash from Firefly for Nerd Wars. Next up is a Kaylee inspired one, but she’s waiting for yarn. Jen is still working on her Madroña Shawl out of Prism Delicato. Tempest Cardigan, started after July 1st (These show notes weren’t even done until July 2nd) She is starting (at midnight July 1) her Tempest Cardigan for Camp Loopy. The yarn for that is Dream in Color Smooshy in the colors Charged Cherry (maroon/red) and Rosalita (pink). She’s also working on Vanilla Socks in Opal Sock Yarn in the colorway Flamingo (pinks, whites, and maroon). They also mention the colorways of Opal inspired by van Gogh. We mention the Great American Afghan, Great North American Afghan, and Great American Aran Afghan books Finished Objects (19:27) Lacy cap. Laura finished her Lacy Cap by Carissa Browning in Rowan Cashsoft 4-ply. Fit for a big damn hero. Hold me close, oh tiny lantern Is that James Baxter? (Gratuitous Adventure Time reference) She also finished a Jayne Hat, a Mini Chinese Lantern by Carolyn Lightowler, and a horse blanket square adapted from Amy Lynn Mitchell’s Giddyup pattern. It took all the pins to block this! But it’s worth it to get this! Jen finished her Tiong Bahru by Asa Tricosa for Camp Loopy. The yarn is Fleece Artist Saldanha Two in the Vermillion colorway. Blocking was painful, but worth it. Devil’s Tower (22:54) Laura has set aside her Sassy-tis (Clapotis) to work on Nerd Wars projects. Jen is putting the Madroña on hold to knit her Tempest. On Deck (24:13) Laura will be knitting the Tennessee Twister Cowl by Daniela Richardson for the Mean Girls Yarn Club WAL. She will be using the color way “Hoar’s Yer” Buddy, inspired by Syndrome from The Incredibles. Its for her Sister-in-law, who is a Denver Broncos fan. Jen will also be doing the WAL, but she has yet to pick a yarn or a pattern. There will be a project for Camp Loopy month 3, but she’s not sure what the challenge will be. She will also be doing the Unique Sheep Watership Down Mystery Knitalong. Her yarn is their Selene Superwash Lace in the Nature Walk gradience colorway. We talk about reading Stephen King books as children. Knit Culture (28:45) Laura and Jen discuss the ergonomics of knitting and crocheting and point out some Wrist Exercises for Knitters and Crocheters that are really good. Stretching lets you keep knitting until you’re old. Use the commercial breaks in television as stretch breaks from knitting. Or set a timer. Laura and Jen both fell down and bought too much sale yarn. Jen bought a lot of Lopi Wool (enough to make two Icelandic sweaters–the Iðunn and the Top Down Icelandic Sweater Craftsy Class Sweater, both by Ragga Eiríksdóttir). Laura bought 20 skeins of brown chunky Cascade yarn to remake the Browncoat (that she may no longer be making), some Brown Sheep yarn in the Jayne Hat colors, and some pink Lion Brand. Laura also fell down at Knitpicks, where she got yarn to make her Mother Bears. Jen recommends combining online orders with a friend to get to the free shipping dollar amounts when ordering online. Geek Culture (36:20) We answer a question from tygherknits about our gaming habits. Tygherknits asks: Do either of you play video games? Tabletop games? Maybe even D&D? Laura used to play table top games (including D&D). She doesn’t play anymore, because most of her gamer friends have moved away. But those multi-sided dice are really useful for knitting. Jen does not play tabletop RPGs, but she does play video games. She doesn’t like MMORPGs. She loves games like Skyrim, Final Fantasy, and Bioshock. She also likes a lot of DS Games. She struggles with time to play. Laura points out Catlore’s awesome etsy shop with geeky fandom buttons. Events (46:08) We will both be at Stitch N’ Pitch on July 26th at Dodger Stadium. Come say hi and get swag! KnitDizzney will be Sunday, September 8th, 2013 at Disneyland. More details to come, but we’d love to spend a day at the Disneyland park with you! We will have t-shirts for preorder and possibly a custom yarn color! Mean Girls Yarn Club signups will open in August.
