[Nfb-krafters-korner] Do you look at what your hands are doing?

[Becky Frankeberger]

Yes, if I am concentrating I look at the stitch.  If I am relaxing and
working I tend to look up at whatever is in front of me, the TV or computer
screen, talking with friends. Tomorrow I am going to listen in on my husband
work. So I will be looking around at the people talking back and forth, then
glancing down at the vest I am making. 

Even when I could see better I did the same thing as above. I am a touch
typist so never looked at the keys.  

Becky and the flying fluffy fur ball, ims going tomorrow also, toothy grin.

Do you look at what your hands are doing when you are crafting even if you
can't see them?  
If you are concentrating hard on a stitch or whatever, do you find yourself
bending your head closer to your working hands & project?

Cathy mentioned that she does this and so do I.  

So what do you do to prevent that neck ache that can developed?

I don't do it when I type and I think that is I look at my screen with my
head leaning on the office chair and I am quite relaxed.  I learned that
from medical transcribing before I went blind.

Any thoughts on this mill be appreciated as we don't want those pain in the
necks..

Joyce
