I came back to this newsletter today after a tough week. Work has been overwhelming, we just bought a house, and my anxiety has been through the roof. I haven't been able to knit in a while and it's definitely showing. Thank you for your writing what you do and the gentle reminders to take care of myself. Now to figure out how to do that consistently.

I learned two weeks ago that my feet are in the wrong size shoes and have been under pressure. On top of me fracturing one of them this summer. My HOKAs are the best $200 I’ve ever spent on shoes

FEET! Hard agree here. Have you heard about toe yoga? It really helped me strengthen my feet after I broke one in 2021. Here’s a NYT gift link about foot stuff that’s really helped me: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/18/well/move/foot-workout-exercises.html?unlocked_article_code=1.M04.PvwX.zyGVtQgEjAf9&smid=url-share

Thank you for this post. I’ve been struggling with finding good virtual movement/flexibility classes, especially since I seem to be more prone to injury the closer I get to menopause. I love Stretches for Stitchers with Mara, but it’s only once a week. I feel like All Bodies Welcome Yoga would be a great fit. Thank you for sharing!

Stretches for Stitchers sounds like an interesting class too!

Because I'm not good at estimating how much yarn I might need for a project, I've swung towards yarn that's easy to get more of.
