How do y’all take care of your backs/necks/joints when sitting down to crochet for a long time? I sat down to learn a few new stitches and make swatches of them, and my back is KILLING me. I know my posture is subpar but what can I do to make it easier on myself?
Get a good chair that has back support it helps.
A good chair is always a good investment. Depending on how long you sit, a customized seat cushion may also help depending on where the back pain is. One thing I do is switch positions while I’m crocheting for prolonged amounts of time. Or at least get up take a break and stretch. I also recommend back stretches before sitting as well, that has helped me with long gaming sessions as well as crocheting ones!
I bought a neck/shoulder massager
I get up at intervals and do other stuff. Also I have multiple pillows on my couch and will readjust my position often. Helped with the back psin
i crochet laying down a lot with a headlamp, or using a recliner, and i also bought a back massager device that helps relieve tension
my back hurts so bad right now which is why i have to force myself to take a break from socks lol
