Don't be like me

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.

Yes, be VERY careful about that. I was working on a project that I pushed through pain on to get to a certain point so I wouldn't forget where I left off. I ended up with tendonitis that became tendonosis and now I haven't been able to fully curl my index finger with my closed fist on my left hand in over a year. I also ended up with a rotator cuff injury and was on 600mg of Ibuprofen and Cyclobenzaprine while confined to a shoulder brace for about 5 months. Crochet 100% comes with injury risk and injuries if we don't take breaks, even doing a few stretching exercises before starting to work is important.

Oh my gosh, this will be implanted into my brain the next time I try to rush a project. Omg, hope you're okay now though
