Sorry to hear you have problem with your hands. That can be very painful. Hopefully you will get back into doing some yarn projects soon .I loved crochet as a kid. But I wanted to make sweaters. Since my access to yarn was mostly Red Heart (I hadn't discovered wool yet), the sweaters I made were big and bulky and I rarely wore them. So I decided I better learn to like knitting.
The knitting bug bit me -- HARD! -- and I learned to love wool and good quality yarn. And to spin my own. I tried to make a small business of spinning and knitting, but I couldn't make enough $$$, so it had to go back to being a hobby. Maybe if I lived in NYC, but here people wouldn't pay for handspun, handknit, one-of-a-kind sweaters. Or I didn't get into the right venues, I don't know.
I got a job that had lots of computer time, and had to put knitting on the back burner, as carpal tunnel issues were a real concern. Now that I'm retired, I have been courting the knitting bug, to see if it'll come back and bite me again.
