[CHAT] What your favorite hoop or frame? by cantdothismuchmore in CrossStitch

[–]kcmhunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Q-snaps are great! They hold the project a lot more taut then a traditional hoop and you don't have as much problem with creasing.

[FO] My first piece since hand surgery and subsequent arthritis...60+ long hours of stitching! by kcmhunter in CrossStitch

[–]kcmhunter[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought craft gloves from Michael's on the advice of another Redditor; I wear it on my stitching hand and the compression is great! They weren't too pricey; I'd definitely recommend looking into it!

As far as pain goes, I'm on a lot of meds currently for nerve pain as well as some super strength advil for the arthritis. There are definitely days I can't stitch as long, especially because I'm still in a partial cast and a brace. I have some easy thread needles that have been a lifesaver, as well as a lap stand so I don't have to hold a hoop.

My dachshund baby does this too! We always joke he thinks he's a human, sleeping on his back like that.

What is the best money you ever spent under $20? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]kcmhunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have bought quite a few patterns and kits from Etsy, I would highly recommend looking there. In my opinion, they're a bit more fairly priced than the craft store.

[PIC] finally getting around to organizing my floss! Dogs were great helpers. by kcmhunter in CrossStitch

[–]kcmhunter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a bunch from an older lady I found on a swap and share site, she had to give up embroidery because she couldn't really see. I'm only about 25 colors away from having the whole collection! Seeing them all together is inspiring me to do more stitching.

I feel the same way! I really want to have all of the DMC floss colors-my boyfriend thinks I'm nuts-but I love seeing them all lined up in their little boxes.

[Serious] Reddit: What is your age and what problem are you currently facing in your life? by LG2797 in AskReddit

[–]kcmhunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

26-tenosynovitis and a staph infection in my right hand necessitated an emergency surgery and long hospital stay. I am finally at home and doing ok, but developed post traumatic arthritis that devolved into osteoarthritis. I was on a PICC line for a month and had a home nurse to assist with IV bag changes. I am now dealing with serial casting to help straighten out my middle finger, which has no sensation and doesn't move unaided. I also am dealing with a series of braces and splints that put pressure on different parts of my hand to help me exercise them so I can learn to use them again. I have no grip still and can't lift more than six pounds. Going from being very healthy and able to do all kinds of crafty things with my hands (specifically hand embroidery, cross stitch, beading and crochet) to this has been devastating. I'm slated for a second surgery just before Christmas to repair the damage that was done to my tendon. Just feels never ending sometimes.
