Sore Fingers

looming hurts! when i'm sitting on the couch for hours and hours on end, my butt and back get really sore. I usually lay the loom against my belly or sit it on my thigh and as i turn the loom around as i knit on it, it rubs against me and it makes my belly or thigh sore.

and my fingers! when i loom a lot, my fingers get irritated from rubbing up against the loom for hours. i tend to keep my pinkie finger tucked up under my hand so it's constantly rubbing against the loom as i knit. and the loom pick tends to rest on my middle a lot and that gets irritating after a while. so, whats my solution? electrical tape!!! i've found that electrical tape works the best out of all the tapes. its soft and flexible and it moves with you. i tried duct tape, masking tape, scotch tape. none of them worked. so now, when i know i'm going to put in a few hours of looming, i bust out with the roll of electrical tape. its actually in the little storage cubbies with the rest of my looming supplies!

here are a few pics of how i wrap up my fingers. you can actually see the little roll of electrical tape in the backround!! LOL! as different fingers get sore, i just cut a piece and wrap them up.
