I've tried out your suggestion Kavitha and I like it! I feel a stretch in the back of my forearms. So good to hear that you adjust your body as necessary, drink water (so important to stay hydrated) and not doing too much. Creating habits as you say isn't easy but I'm determined to do the work required. :)

You tried that already! I am so glad it helps. Just in case you haven't heard about it, Knitting Comfortably by Carson Demers is a great book that has all kinds of advice on knitting ergonomics. Also, the socks turned out so beautiful, Jodie. I forgot to mention that earlier.

Thank you so much Kavitha for your recommendation for Knitting Comfortably and your kindness about the socks. I knitted them a couple of years ago. As intended, Mum wore them as bed socks but the pilling was unbelieveable!! These photos show when they were just finished. It took patience and quite a lot of time to snip off the copious amounts of fluff balls on each sock but they came good in the end! ЁЯдг

I hear you. I have a sweater that demands to be de-pilled every now and then. But it is so soft and comfy I don't mind the maintenance bit so far. :))
