Maybe I'm asking a repeat question, but has anyone on this BB used the Elizabeth Lee Nursing Classics #202 pattern to make a sling? Here it is: http://www.elizabethlee.com/patterns/nc202.htm
What did you think of it? Do you know of any patterns you feel are better (& why)? I want my aunt to make a sling for me and this was the pattern that came up when I did an Internet search. I bought some plain, non-slippery, double-ply silk while in Thailand, and I would like to use it for a sling. I am also in the dark about what sort of rings to buy, so any input is welcome!
I am pg with my first baby. I want to try using a sling, but I need to make sure that the sling won't aggravate my back. I have chronic trigger point pain & muscle stiffness in my upper back near the shoulder blades, courtesy of improper lifting techniques and lifting too-heavy patients in the hospital (the story of every nurse, it seems). Let me know your $0.02!
Thanks!
