I'm not much of a crocheter, but I like that bag enough to think about picking it up again. That’s a wonderful bag.

I've been crocheting a lot lately and I really enjoy it, but my hand hurts a lot - I've only ever used the one type of yarn [which is cotton] but I think for me it has more to do with the action itself and how I hold the needle. The bag is lovely!

I don't know about you but crochet hurts my hands much more than knitting, and cotton hurts my hands much more than other fibres, it's not a good combination for me, although a crocheted cotton bag is a beautiful thing. Hope you're over your bad dose soon. x K That fabric could’ve been made for that bag, and the bag itself looks great worked up.

But how perfect is that fabric! Cotton isn’t my favourite fibre to work with, it’s not very forgiving.

The lack of elasticity in the yarn really makes my hands and arms hurt. It's important to take regular breaks to stretch your hands and arms too. Lovely fabric!

I have just been knitting with Rowan Fine Milk Cotton, though, and have no problems with my hands which made me think that maybe my crochet technique is slightly wrong. Or maybe my hypermobile joints + crochet = bad combo? Hmm. Things to ponder. Hmm, very good point.

Wow! I can't work with any kind of cotton at all, for any length of time. It absolutely wrecks my arms. Cotton doesn't have any stretch to it at all, no elasticity. I doubt you're doing anything wrong, it's just the nature of the beast. That fabric is so perfect for the yarn! Wow!
