Sunday Thoughts………late afternoon

I am killing my finger today. I use Hi-ya Hi-ya Sharp circular knitting needles and have poked a hole in my finger. I keep embedding the needle back in the same hole and it hurts like hell. My friend Holly, from work, gave me the Thimble-It protectors and I bought the Jillily Studio Poke-A-Dots. When I worked at Cirque in the costume shop, I used something like that, only made of moleskin, to protect my fingers when I was hand-sewing. The red circles are the size I need, but a little thicker than the moleskin. I wish I could find those.

And, because my finger hurts, my ADD kicked in and I caked up the Titmouse yarn because I was curious.

I get nothing for mentioning anything on my blog. I just want to share what makes me happy, what and who I enjoy…..what works for me. There is a huge Yarney Universe out there. I joined, but do not use Instagram. I can get lost for days in Ravelry and figure it would be the same for Pinterest or Instagram and I want to use that time to actually knit. If anyone actually reads this blog, that’s great. If not, that’s okay, too, because apparently I am getting something out of doing it. If you are out there and you go to any of the sites I list, or something hits a corresponding chord in you….that’s great, too.

Now to go kick my cat/cow out of my spot and finish up the sock.

I will have to relate the GG story at some point.

Oh, look…..shiny

  1. I’m still reading your blog, keep going! Do you have it linked on your Ravelry About Me page? I get in more trouble on Instagram than on Ravelry, and Pinterest I just don’t understand any more.

    For the injuries, I use 3M Nexcare waterproof bandaids. I have a wound in the palm of my hand because I grip the needles so tightly that my fingernails dig into my palm. I push the pointy needle tip with the underside of my index fingernail but am afraid I might break it if I do that too often.

    1. Yes, it is linked to my FB page and to Instagram and Ravelry, also. I cannot wear a bandaid on that finger, the yarn catches. I have also used the underside of my nail, but I have jammed it down under my nail doing that….no now I use the little dots. Wow….you must really hold your needles tightly. Thanks for reading and commenting.

  2. Oopsie, can you edit my name to Marilyn A? I didn’t want my whole name to be visible. Thanks.

    1. Unfortunately, I think only you can edit that….I tried several ways with no luck…..you could trash it if you can’t edit it.
