I have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and unfortunately have not been able to cross stitch in a while. When I'm on the computer I wear one of those arm braces and it's just too cumbersome when I attempt to cross stitch. I have a couple unfinished projects that I wish I could work on!!

Comment #1 Cross-Stitch from Stitching -

I think you can buy small wrist guards just for stitching and the trick is to keep your wrist as stationary as possible.

I'd need a magnifying glass if I attempted to cross stitch. My eyesight has gotten worse over the years. Isn't there some kind of lap table that you can buy that does have a magnifyer on it?

Comment #3 Cross-Stitch from Stitching -

Oh dear! I understand bad eyesight. I just found out that the company that makes my left contact lens isn't going to make that lens. And I'm already in the strongest lens! So Sam's Club gave me a temporary, but it's a half degree weaker. :-(

I found products you might be interested in at The Daylight Company and Angel Yarns.
