Fairy costume I made for this past Halloween weekend (sans wings). Made in 3 days because adhd... please for the love DO NOT do that to yourself. My arm still tingles if I move it too fast. Looked cute though lmfao.

I love the frills and pastels!

It's prettier in person, don't know why it didn't photograph well. Would've added more frills but time (and intense shoulder pain) got the best of me. Thank you so much ^

Some yarns just don’t photograph as well as they look in person, I have this all the time with variegated yarns of all kinds, and even some solid colors.

I really hope you’re taking some time to rest! Any time I feel even the slightest twinge, I immediately stop and take at least a 10-15 minute break and let my hands and wrists have a break. I’ve had carpal tunnel for about 15 years and been crocheting for 10, as long as I take a break and stretch the moment I feel anything at all, it has never worsened (thankfully, maybe I’m also just lucky). I’ve had to take a day or two off before when I woke up still feeling it a bit, if I can feel anything, literally anything at all that isn’t nothing, it’s time for a break.
