On the Mend
If you are a knitter or crocheter, I highly recommend buying a buckwheat pillow, the kind you can stick in the microwave to heat up. I can wrap this buckwheat pillow around my neck and shoulders, or in this current situation, around my left wrist. A combination of wearing the Handeze and applying heat at night has been helping my wrist mend.
I am saving my wrist for this Saturday. Some friends are coming over and we are going to knit, crochet, stitch and - EAT! I have been thinking about what food we should have. It cannot be messy finger foods because we are using our hands but I still want “easy” food. I will probably go to this great Middle Eastern food & grocery store in Brooklyn called Sahadi’s and buy whatever looks yummy there.
So until I have new fiber news to share, here are three links to keep you interested:
- Alexandra Newmark - crochet sculptures
- Twinkie Chan - crocheted food scarves
- CATPRINT - not fiber-related but definitely crafty in its own very special way!

The hummus at Sahadi’s is to die for!

Tell me about it! And their babaganoush (sp?)! Today’s mantra:
I will keep in control and not buy/eat everything I see at Sahadi’s

Never knew we were neighbors! I agree on Sahadi’s - I am a sucker for their dry-roasted almonds and fresh mozzarella.

you know, i knitted up a bag from Lion Brand kitchen cotton - filled it with rice and some dried arnica and that’s what i use instead of buckwheat. it smells kinda ricey when you warm it up, but it was cheap and easy.
