Quite trivial but driving me mad! I've got a blister on my middle finger right where my yarn usually goes - I've been a knitter for 40+ years how come it blisters now?
The knitting is progressing slowly. One sleeve is done and I should finish the other on my way to work tomorrow. That leaves me with the main body and six pattern repeats to complete. The wrap is so bulky it doesn't fit into any of my bags and is so warm it's like being wrapped in a duvet.
A good night at Liberty's tonight enlivened by the prescence of Fred (my yarn pusher - he's offered to go shopping for me at Coldspring!)
Wish I was heading off to Skip North tomorrow with Nickerjac and Lixie - have a wonderful time and don't forget to post plenty of pictures!

Posted by: Carolyn at February 24, 2006 10:49 PMblister - ouch! Only yarn injuries I ever had was from a brittle acrylic that almost splintered as I knit it and left me with a horrible sort of rash. Served me right - I was knitting a yarn I didn't like and it knew it
Have one sleeve and 5 little roses to go
Good luck for the rest of the progress
Posted by: juliet at February 24, 2006 09:46 AMI get sock knitting injuries, it's probably because you're just knitting on one thing. you can do it!
I know, mine is big now, trying to finish a sleeve tonight. You could try a plaster, or that new skin stuff see if that helps. Yarn burn!
