Too much movement makes your joints hurt and too little movement also makes your joints hurt. This would imply that there's an optimal amount of movement that allows your joints to not hurt. This is a lie.
The ideal is not doing too much of either at a time. Same with back pain, sitting too long and standing too long both trigger it, so you want to sit for a while, then move around for a while, keep changing.

btw I’ve found these stretches from the WAK blog very helpful when knitting a lot:
Plus make sure to take breaks regularly - and stop if anything starts to hurt!
especially with gift knitting I know it can be tempting to push through it for a deadline, but it’s really not worth causing long term injury. (And anyone knit-worthy should be understanding of that, imho.) Stay well :)
Also good for artists drawing with pencils/on a tablet/with a pen!
Also good for writers

i got a 100% on this bostonian-to-english quiz but i grew up near boston..... i'm curious what you guys get. there's a couple things in here i didn't even know are regionalisms + a couple things i hadn't heard before but could parse pretty easily from context. tag/reply with what you got and if you're familiar with the area or not!
Naive question: What do test knitters get in return for testing a pattern? Are they paid? Do they get free yarn? They seem to be providing a valuable service that is demanding of time ($), yarn ($) and attention. Are they compensated in some way?
#knitting#I saw a post today on Instagram complaining that pattern creators don't give their test knitters enough time to do their knitting#it seems to me that the only thing testers get in return for their efforts is access to an untested and potentially error-riddled pattern#what am I missing#test knitting#of course now I can't find the Instagram post

''I can be alone with you here'' actually means just as much, if not more, than ''I love you'' and I will die on this hill clutching spuffy to my chest
