In this episode, I talk to Melissa Kwan, a prolific knit blogger who write Miso Crafty Knits. You’ll hear about how Melissa went from being a super productive knitter who turned out gorgeous finished objects regularly for her blog to suffering from tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome for the past 9 months. We talked about what Melissa has done to protect and heal her hands so she can continue to enjoy knitting. As makers and knitters, spinners and weavers, we use our hands and our bodies all the time and I know I have taken many of those things for granted. I hope you enjoy our conversation and find ways to take care of your own hands too.
