Sigh...there are occasions, usually during the cold winter months, that my hands ache. It makes for difficult knitting...if any at all. I made another hat a few days ago, & my hands started to ache. So, I forced myself to finish it, cause it was almost done anyway, & then I took a break for a day. Well, I tried again last night, but they were still sore. Ick. My husband rented a movie & I fidgeted through the whole thing cause I didn't have anything in my hands. Figures!
I have a pair of the "Hand-Eze" gloves which really seem to help with the pain, but this time its mostly in my fingers. I wore the gloves the other night, & they helped somewhat. I know its just because of the cold weather & I try to keep my hands warm, but sometimes they are just plain COLD! It stinks, especially when the knitting drive is in full swing...sigh. I may just have to give the ol' mitts a break for a few days...but that doesn't mean I will stop thinking or babbling about my knitting! :)

Hello Spunknit!
Have you thought about knitting yourself a pair of the fingerless gloves like in the Interweave knits magazine a few weeks ago? They show a version with partial fingers that may help you. I have a similar problem, but my pain and stiffness is in the wrists, so a pair of long fingerless gloves is what I am knitting. I find it REALLY helps to keep my wrists warm!! I am ready for spring!
