For those who missed it, crocheting with the raffia ribbon was tough on my arthritic wrist. I love the results, but the process is hard. I will crochet with the raffia again, but not every day like I did before. Someone younger would probably not have the problem.

They are very pretty though Report Spam Posted by lissln at 7:46 PM on 06/08/11
I can imagine it would be difficult, the material isn't nearly as flexible. The results are gorgeous. Report Spam Posted by paws72 at 8:55 PM on 06/08/11
I have enough trouble crocheting with regular yarn; crocheting with anything else would be a nightmare!!!!! I have arthritis in my fingers as well as my wrists!!!!! And in my shoulders!!!! Report Spam Posted by susan_brown at 11:20 PM on 06/08/11
Susan, Poor you. I've had the bad wrist since I was much younger too. Been crafting way too long. And, thank you lissin and paws72. Report Spam Posted by stubbornwoman at 11:30 PM on 06/08/11

Great looking hats. Report Spam Posted by markblemish at 9:07 PM on 06/10/11
I can understand your pain. I have RA and have not tried crocheting or cross stitch in many years. But I do love the results. The orange and pink hats are my favorites. Do you sell them? Report Spam Posted by terriemeer at 8:59 AM on 06/13/11
