Image - a photo of my cross stitch in progress. It says “Fancy as uc” with the k being half started and the f not started yet.
This shit takes ages. I switched to a lap frame that my mum gave me (she used to do tapestry) but I find my left wrist still kills me after a while. (I’m right handed.) I have an intense grip, it’s just who I am. I hold things way too tightly and no amount of physical therapy has helped me!
