[Nfb-krafters-korner] Diagnosis please

[Susan Roe]

I have one of those squishy balls that are used for stress release that I 
keep in my knitting bag.  It feels good in your hands just to roll between 
your palms and to flex your fingers around.  If I've been knitting or 
crocheting for a while, keeping my fingers and hands in a repetative 
position, once I've put my knitting away, I always reach for the squishy 
ball.
