The main topics will consist of proper ergonomics including posture, needle/hook selection and way you hold it, as well as stretching techniques and craft-specific strengthening exercises which can help prevent overuse injuries.

None
Supplies for Class:
Please bring a small scrap swatch of 20 stitches and 10 rows with any yarn/needle of your choice. Pen and paper.
