Life's a Stitch

I knit, my husband turns wood. Knitting is far more reasonable money wise and much safer. Chuck had his new band saw one day and off we were to emergency for five stitches. I wonder how many ER’s see people the day they first use a new tool. He’s lucky to have fingers. The weird thing is that he has no recollection of how it happened. He can’t learn by his mistake since he can’t remember making one.

The most dangerous thing I’ve done knitting is cutting a steek with really really sharp scissors. In fact I bought them for the occasion. Here I am with my Gingher scissors:

The finished product is a Philosopher’s Wool Fair Isle, a combination of the Colour Your Own and the Kilim Jacket patterns. I did it in jewel tones. I need to take a good picture of it. When I look at my stash how come most everything is in jewel tones? I need to branch out.
