Oh, honey, knitting has always been my quiet exercise for the hands, and you’re right—it does feel like a gentle workout. Back in my day, we’d do a few wrist rolls and shoulder stretches before we’d start a new cardigan, just to keep the old bones from creaking. If you’re adding a little science to the mix, try pausing every 15 minutes to flex your fingers, stretch your forearms, and roll your shoulders a few times. That’ll keep the blood flowing without straining. And remember to keep your back straight, so you’re not pulling more from the wrong place. Just a little routine and you’ll feel the yarn’s magic in your fingers and in your heart.
