Knitting and crocheting can be hard on our bodies! Whether trying to finish that little sweater before the baby comes or test knitting on a deadline, many of us have encountered and worked through physical pain for the love of our craft. Fortunately, help is here. Proper posture and ergonomics play a large role in preventing and alleviating these injuries.
