new on strikk

i've been knitting a lot lately - been finding though that my hands really do have a hard time if i've been knitting very fine projects (like on 4mm needles) - so to counter the pain, started doing some large knit cable cushions again. 

using my favourite south african courtelle yarn - elle pure gold (which is becoming increasingly difficult to source here in the uk - elle are you listening!) i made up some new cable cushions in terracotta.

so now, we have an assortment of cable cushions on the go. 

available from strikk handknit shop, etsy and notonthehighstreet.
and if anyone has any tips on how to care for knitters hands, would be most grateful.  at the moment, the arnica oil is my NBF!
