What pattern are you using? The same one that you used to make the Koigu socks? BTW, did you know that there's a special issue of knitty out that has an ankle sock pattern in it?<br /><br />As for the RSI, I don't really get any. I sometimes get sore if I sit in a weird position, or if I hold my arms off-centre. I think there's a knitty article in the archives about it. Something about knitting with arthritis. I think using my laptop at work is causing me more problems than knitting though...but that's another story. I'm glad that your pain is gone now. ^_^Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877013222075908943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918902.post-1098748061877956652004-10-25T18:47:00.000-05:002004-10-25T18:47:00.000-05:00Hey crappy, I didn't know you read this blog!

I knew you would come in handy some day! =P<br /><br />I think it was just the switch to little needles and the stress of learning a new technique which resulted in some tense needle-holding, I've made more sock progress and my wrists have been fine lately.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17677671017557368426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918902.post-1098722478618907232004-10-25T11:41:00.000-05:002004-10-25T11:41:00.000-05:00You knitwit,

Try keeping your wrists neutral and holding your needles less tight.<br /><br />CrapheadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
