Save your back, neck and shouldersIn the videos in this course, you'll see me pushing the carriage with one hand. BAD!!!! I'm reaching around the camera.
When you are knitting
use both hands and push and pull alternately to move the carriage.
Many knitters also adjust their knitting table so they can stand while knitting.
Arm, hand and wrist position
STOP! LOOK AT THE POSITION OF YOUR
HAND AND WRIST IN RELATION TO YOUR
ELBOW.Many knitters will find their elbow is
below the level of the wrist and hand.
Knitting
in this position, after a time, will create an ache
and pain through the neck and across the
shoulders.
Try sitting higher so that your elbow
is
slightly above the wrist and hand.
More tips
- A stool for your feet may be needed or your machine table or stand may have to be lowered.
- If you
have a stand to use your machine,
the same elbow position is needed. (elbows slightly above the hands)
- Try standing to knit. Use an adjustable table to keep the elbow position correct.

Good lighting is a must
