thing 16: stylish wrist supports

my wrists get sore sometimes from using my laptop. my ankles also get sore (not from the laptop) and i wear compression socks once in a while to make them feel better. they increase blood flow, which seems to help. i wondered if they made such a thing for wrists.. and of course they do. but i wasn’t sure i wanted to pay for some ugly weird gloves to wear.. so i wondered if i could make some myself.

and it seems that i can! and mine are much more stylish. they probably aren’t perfect.. i know compression socks push more in certain areas, which this does to some degree, but not quite as well. but after wearing them for a couple hours, my wrists feel a little better.

i found that the seam on the inside bugged me.. so i’ve taken to wearing them inside out. one thing i will change if i make another pair is to plan for that and serge the outside seam to make it look nicer. (also.. i did make 2, but i needed my other hand to take the photo)
