Backstory
- Julie
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles. I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion. Nothing but good times ahead.

I have a question from a fairly new knitter to a veteran--I am having "issues" with my arms. Today it went dead. No pins and needles so it can't be considered numb, just plain dead from about the elbow down. This after I sat in the doctors office for about an hour and knit off and on the whole time. So has this ever happened to you and if so, what if anything am I doing that can be corrected so I don't have this happen again. My middle finger did this about 2 months ago, again after a long knitting session. I am a little freaked out but I hope I am not abnormal. Any advice?
huzzah on the hittage! I am going to have to subscribe to bloglines, just so I know these things! (password? jtbkpaq I want one!)
Hooray!!! I'm proud of the small part I've played in that number! :-)
Very cool.
I claim some credit as I directed you to blogger in the first place.
I also still lack a squid hat.
click click click! Hee hee!
You must have a very big place, if there are 50K of us.
I contributed to the large number. I subscribe to your blog feed and always come over to read when you update. I am such a knitting nerd, though. LOL!
YOU are awesome. That's why you got fifty thousand hits.
