Turns out it was Jet riding on my shoulders for the whole walk from the parking lot to the airport baggage claim that really did my shoulders in, but I was realizing, at the same time, that my hands and wrists were NOT in the best of shape. It was the marathon that I had to rip out for the hat. That hat is in a far nastier gauge than I usually do... PLUS I was doing it for hours straight without even stretching when i was really into it... so...

Bad juju.

I have considered a loom. It costs too much for me, in some ways... But if I could sell the counter-balanced loom in my basement, I might well have the money for it. So that would work out well. I haven't even used that loom, yet, so it's likely well past time I sold it for something I would actually use.

It's a great idea!

thanks!
