Knifty Knitters and hand injuries..perfect together..

While enthusiastically vacuuming away with my new vacuum, the inevitable happened. You see, there is an odd configuration in our house involving the railing and landing of our semicircular stairs.

The railing and the landing floor meet up leaving a very small space. I caught my fingers in that little space, and while I kept going my fingers stayed put. There was an audible snap. I sat down on the steps and everything just stopped..everything that is but the searing pain in my hand. I couldn’t move i couldn’t talk .. nothing. Brian was concerned.. Eventually once I caught my breath again I got up and checked things out. My fingers hurt, they weren’t swelling so I don’t think they are broken. Just sprained/strained. I *think* the snap was just my knuckles cracking.. They still hurt but they are feeling a bit better. I won’t be doing any needle knitting so soon, but loom knitting will resume again today I think.

It’s nice to have backup!

Ah you all are still waiting to see the booty from the fiber show.. here you are..

There are a few skeins missing from the slide show some Lamb’s Pride Bulky that I got for a steal at $3 a ball! Awesome! They are going right into use making my ‘yoga’ bag to carry my softball bats in. I have to get moving on that.. practice is this Sunday, and I am racing Micheale to see who gets their yoga bag done first!!

    Get the hand checked out at the hospital! I slipped and fell on a patch of ice in downtown Cleveland back in February, landed on my wrist, and was hoping I had just sprained it, but it was broken. It’s easy to break a hand or wrist bone, because there are so many tiny bones in those body parts. . I don’t mean to scare you, I just think if it still hurts tomorrow, or starts swelling, that it wouldn’t hurt to get it x-rayed.

    Take care of your hand!
