btw I've found these stretches from the WAK blog very helpful when knitting a lot:

Plus make sure to take breaks regularly - and stop if anything starts to hurt!

especially with gift knitting I know it can be tempting to push through it for a deadline, but it's really not worth causing long term injury. (And anyone knit-worthy should be understanding of that, imho.) Stay well :)

Mendelssohn:

My absolute favourite violin concerto. That dramatic first movement with the gorgeous second theme. The most EXQUISITE second movement (when the violin hits the high C my heart just melts). The super joyful and fun third movement. The fact that each movement flows into the next. Please vote my boy Mendelssohn please my heart will be as happy as when it listens to this piece Recording: Hilary Hahn (YouTube link: https://youtu.be/SDwKJ6bBXEA?si=w7wQwK-NliQiCLVV). I travelled to another country just to hear her play this live. She is THAT GOOD 😍

It's brilliant

Bach: None
