Update on not-Tux!
I started knitting the penguin last weekend only to find out that I’m allergic to the dyes (I think) in the cheapo yarn from WalMart. I guess I’ll probably return it and get something with more natural fiber content in it. My hands look like I’ve got some terrible skin disease!
I haven’t done any knitting since that happened because my fingers are just so raw and sore. I need to get pictures of the towels I knit for Mom and Deanna uploaded soon. I shared the pattern with Julie at work. She’s excited to try it out. I still have one of my two to finish up. The first one is hanging on the oven door and looking lovely though.
Maybe by Wednesday I’ll be ready to knit again. I can do that on the way to and from the airport when we pick up Dad.
