And here's a picture of one of my projects...it's a shawl crocheted from a doily pattern. (use worsted weight or bigger yarn and a big crochet hook and doilies can be shawls and afghans.

Erin, that's gorgeous! Almost looks like tatted lace. You do beautiful work!

It doesn't bother me much when I crochet, because I don't have to bend my fingers so much. It's not really painful except at moments--such as when I'm practicing music or really using my hands. Otherwise, it's just the nuisance of them being stiff! It's not just morning stiffness--it stays with me all the time!

When my fingers do hurt, sometimes the pain resembles someone beating on your hands with a hammer!

It started just a few weeks ago, but in the last six months, my central nervous system problems have really worsened, so I'm not surprised--you kinda wonder every morning what you're going to wake up with--or without--don't you?
