I've found that pushing through my tasks only sets me back the next day or two. Slow and steady has become my mantra. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@KellyCasanova]

So true 🥰

[@rachellohman2346]

Take care of yourself - Hashimotos is no fun but a good endocrinologist will help and a walk now and then helps relieve the tiredness.🩷🧶🫶🏻

[@suzisaintjames]

@@rachellohman2346 the trick is finding a good one. Most know less than what's on the Internet. 😵. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@KellyCasanova]

@@rachellohman2346 I walk regularly, it's a very important part of my routine 🥰

[@janetburnett3935]

There's not much of a weaving presence around me locally, so I always look forward to your videos. The hardest thing with autoimmune disease in my experience (in my case rheumatoid arthritis) is listening to your body and not pushing yourself to the point of exhaustion. That, and giving yourself some grace when you don't get as much done as you planned. Take care of yourself!

[@KellyCasanova]

Thank you Janet 🥰

[@elizabethsielaff3414]

I love the knitted shawl on you. It makes me smile to think of you wrapped up in comfort and beauty during this health challenge.

[@KellyCasanova]

Oh thank you, that may be just the encouragement I need to claim it for myself 🥰

[@lovannahsirois4932]

The blue triangle shawl, is a keeper 😍

[@KellyCasanova]

🥰

[@hkchozeh]

Thank you for sharing....your videos make me feel as if I am visiting a dear friend, especially your personal ones like this. (I love your instructional videos, too!). Thank you. Enjoy your refreshed studio and all your projects. Be gentle with yourself and enjoy your lovely family. Rest! ❤

[@KellyCasanova]

Thank you 🥰

[@carolynadams2264]

I love the crochet blanket! Also, you should definitely keep the knitted shawl for yourself, it suits you. Beautiful job.

[@KellyCasanova]

Thank you 🥰

[@redwolfdarkmoon5326]

Thank you so much for sharing this. It gives me hope as a new weaver with my own autoimmune struggles.

[@beckyshook3526]

Our daughter has that and I have fibromyalgia I am 68 so have had it for thirty yrs or more have to treat ourselves with grace and go at our own pace.

[@KellyCasanova]

That is tough, unfortunately auto immune diseases can be hereditary. I'm hoping none of my own children will have it, though my son does have psoriasis.

[@lgerha01]

I really can relate to "I have a lot of ideas, but not a lot of time or energy". Hope your health improves soon. I just started learning to weave and your videos have been very helpful!

[@carolstjean1372]

Keep that beautiful triangle shawl. Looks so lovely on you. You are inspiring and authentic Kelly. Happy to know you through your classes and videos.

[@KellyCasanova]

Thank you so much!

[@user-fu3to2ri9q]

So nice to see you again, Kelly, I've missed you. I am glad you are taking care of yourself, and wish you the very best! What you accomplish when you are feeling tired is inspiring!

[@KellyCasanova]

Thank you ❤️

[@peggywhite5638]

Take care of yourself! Studio looks great and you vacuum super fast. ♥

[@KellyCasanova]

Ha ha, the magic of video, wish I could really do it that fast!

[@peggywhite5638]

@@KellyCasanovaMe too LOL!

[@tsoonklah]

I have chronic stuff going on too, lost fertility at 26, I found a lot of women that have a painful condition tend to go in fiber, something about fiber art feels cathartic and beautiful at the same time.

[@KellyCasanova]

Yes, that is true, and if at least our hands work let's use them! 😆 I'm sorry you lost fertility at such a young age, that must have been a blow 🙁

[@marinamartinez6886]

You have accomplished a ton in your Weaving practice, some time off for wellness is deserved. Hope you'll be feeling better soon. 💐💐💐

[@KellyCasanova]

Thank you 🥰

[@glendasimmonds6538]

Thank you Kelly, great to see and hear you. I smiled about the “coverlet”, I had my sample of a joined piece out the other day…..

[@dakotatwilight]

Hugs. My mom had hypothyroidism, I do not think it was Hashimoto's as it cleared up a few years after she moved back to Berlin Germany from California, at least that is what she said to me. But my mom suffered the same symptoms as far as I can remember, this all happened when I was under age 12 long ago. So I am very happy that you have a good doctor now taking care of you. I also have a tendency to push myself beyond what I should, it doesn't help that I hyper focus and loose track of time, so much sympathy. I have Porphyria, some call it an autoimmune others say it is a genetic syndrome, to me the effects of attacking the body are the same. So I get the fatigue and tiredness and understand. If I push myself too hard or long, and this always has to do with larger organizing of my space projects/plans i am out of commission for 2-3 days after if lucky or it can cause the beginning of a flare up . So please take care of yourself and pace yourself. I love your shawl, it is the same colors my mom loved. Even without what i said, I think it looks stunning on you, it makes you look so pretty, really goes with your complexion. A bonus is it is light weight and will still keep you warm without being heavy.

[@tsoonklah]

Wanted separate comment just for you to say I hope you’re feeling better, you’re not alone, and take what you need off and then extra so you are actually rested lol. We tend to slave-drive ourselves.

[@KellyCasanova]

Thank you 🙏 I'm trialling yet another new medication which is not going well so far, I seem to be extremely sensitive to many meds. Apart from that I'm actually doing ok, I'm keeping a good diet, exercising and generally going easy on myself. Hope you are doing the same 🥰

[@keranhumble6782]

There are a lot of people doing the carnivore elimination diet. Dr. Ken Berry is an excellent source. His wife also has Hashimoto. Will be praying for your healing.

[@KellyCasanova]

Thanks Keran, yes, I have been through a lot of Dr Berry and Neisha's videos. Thank you for your prayers ❤️

[@connieaugust9069]

You have a beautiful studio! I really appreciate the amazing number of videos you have done, and you certainly deserve a break. By the time I get through them, I will have forgotten much so will have to start over and watch them again. 🤣

[@connieaugust9069]

I'm curious to know what the studio space used to be before you took over.

[@KellyCasanova]

It was a double garage originally and the last owners used it as a games/music room.

[@martyparry7000]

So enjoyed seeing your video, wish you all the best with your health. Loved seeing all the beautiful yarn that you have. The shawl is stunning and although I would like a shot at it, you really should keep it, colors are great on you.

[@KellyCasanova]

Thank you ❤️

[@karenbowman1524]

The studio is coming along beautifully. So sorry that you're having health issues. They're not unlike my own, so I hope that you find your hormonal equilibrium. That goes for the thyroid stuff as well. Please take food care of yourself. Your weaves look great, as always!❤

[@KellyCasanova]

Thanks Karen 🥰

[@jennifersternthal1524]

Kelly, thank you for sharing your story. I’m in menopause & just got diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Now I know why this past year I’ve felt so blah & why I’ve been feeling so terribly wiped out. I’m in the process of learning what will help me thru this. Wishing you all the best in health!

[@KellyCasanova]

Jennifer have you had your antibodies tested for Hashimoto's as well?

[@pamamand8348]

Hugs you must rest and glad you have a dr.you can trust. I had similar issues starting 4 years ago... no help from my docs. I cannot wait for your zoom class with the Lancaster Spinners and Weavers Guild coming up this month ❤ I've followed you for a few years now you are amazing and a great teacher. I especially love krokbragh. I had the same with summer winter so these tips are great!

[@KellyCasanova]

Oh, are you going to be watching my presentation? 😃

[@pamamand8348]

@@KellyCasanova absolutely! I am so excited 😊 I love weaving on my Baby Wolf 4 shaft but my rigid heddle looms are fun and you have create beautiful projects on them.

[@KellyCasanova]

@@pamamand8348 Wonderful, I'll see you there! ❤

[@suzisaintjames]

My favorite online doctor for Hashimoto's is the thyroid pharmacist, Dr. Izabella Wentz. She's a licensed pharmacist who has/had Hashimoto's and developed a program. Of course consult your doctor, but Izabela talks a lot about diet and supplements. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@KellyCasanova]

Thanks, I'll look her up 😊

[@dorym8045]

I vote you keep the shawl and use it as the comforting hug it is.

[@KellyCasanova]

Thank you ☺️

[@gerryivkovich1857]

Kelly, this is unrelated to your video but I want to make a request. I receive Little Looms magazine each month and many of the projects have graphs and charts. I don't know how to read them! Do, or could you make a class that teaches weavers how to read these charts? I think there is a need. Please think about it. God bless.

[@suzisaintjames]

16:04 it's a shame to put those pretty weavings in a box. Consider displaying them by hanging them on a dowel rod threaded through the center of each roll. They won't take up much room and will be pretty out on display. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@KellyCasanova]

That would be a nice way to display them 😀

[@robynjohnstone6531]

Thanks for sharing from your heart re your health issues. You are not alone!! I have recently discovered the great benefits of N-acetyl cysteine and inosotol. And you may benefit from checking in with Dr. Osborne on KZbin. Having had hypothyroidism for about 15 years (diagnosed, anyway), I've learned there's so much more to treatment for thyroid problems than just taking the standard medical protocol. You'll get there! So many elements the body needs for good health! If we can get there without big pharma, I'm all for it.

[@KellyCasanova]

I totally agree!
