There`s a lot of it about


As I wander aroung blogland, I have noticed that there seem to be a lot of us knitters suffering from aches and pains in hands and fingers - me included :-(

At the moment my left thumb joints are so troublesome that I can only do a very small amount of knitting at a time, hence having nothing to show. I`m not sure if it is arthritic, RSI (though I can`t imagine why since my right hand is far busier at work and is fine) or if I have strained/sprained it. However, I have heard that Mason`s Dog Oil is very good so I thought I would give it a go - it`s very early days so I am not sure if it really has helped or whether I am imagining things - I`ll let you know.

I was initially a little wary, I mean Dog oil? I know they press olives for olive oil. sunflower seeds for sunflower oil...... but it was reassuring to read the FAQ`s on Mason`s web site which included

Do you use dogs in it?

No. We can't run fast enough to catch them!

Well, dog oil is certainly different. But as long as it works for you (and there are no pampered pooches in it), go for it!

Hope the dog oil helps. Glad to hear that the dogs are so quick as to avoid being added to the list of ingredients! LOL

OMG!!!! Is it for massaging dogs?
I hope it helps your poorly hand - and if it does, drop me a line as I need a little help in that area too!
