So I can't knit, cut fabric, or run the long-arm machine. Lucky for me, the doc at the Urgent Care had lots of experience treating burns while in the Army -- so I'm hoping I'll be healed up before Quilt Colorado next week!
Cooking is dangerous!
I do have some yummy, scrummy new yarn to show you, though. My friend and yarn-enabler, Deb, the Dishcloth Diva, posted a photo of this yarn on her Facebook page:
I instantly texted her and said "I want some!" Sadly, (ha ha ha) she had already placed her order with Expression Fiber Arts. So I had to make my own order! Only amateurs pay for shipping, so I ordered three skeins to qualify for free shipping.
Here is the other worsted weight skein I ordered:
It's called "Stonewash Sky." Both these skeins will be knit up into Hats for Sailors.
The third skein went to Deb for socks. I miss knitting socks, but my sore wrist just doesn't allow that anymore.

And if you win, promise you'll knit a Hat for a Sailor with any washable wool included in your prize.
Because Cooking is Dangerous, I haven't been able to knit my three-rows-per-day on the My Year in Temperature Scarf. You can still see how the temps have been soaring, though, just by the June-July sections:
Two 90+ days so far. I'm thankful I haven't needed to use my Salmon for 100+ degrees yet!
No finish this week, but I have taken photos for Sunday's De-Stash offer. Come back and see what's available for free!
From the desk of your
"Only amateurs pay for shipping..." Hahaha! So true! :)
ReplyDeleteYou must be feeling frustrated that you cant sew!! wishig you a speedy recovery - and no more dangerous cooking . . . .
ReplyDeleteGoodness, what were you cooking up? Time to delegate cooking I say, that will be safer and give you more time to sew and knit! Lucky you don't live here in Adelaide as a scarf here in summer would have a large section of salmon! We specialise in 100+ in summer! (that's why I like winter so much!)
ReplyDeleteOMG, hope you will get well very soon!
ReplyDeleteSuch nice yarn. I can understand, you had to buy them.
Greetings, Rike
oh you poor darling, burns can be SO painful, just getting the air on them. I do hope you'll be recovered swiftly.
ReplyDeleteI agree about cooking, that's why I leave as much as possible to my husband LOL
Poor thing, I hope all your burns heal up quickly.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog so much. I'm glad you shared about your burns as now we can all send our prayers and good thoughts your way. I wish you a speedy recovery.
