Reader, Beware!

  I was making dinner last night, cutting up onions and other veggies from our local co-op farmer for soup, when my thumb got in the way.
 

 

   Yeah, that's four stitches, one of which is in the nail. OWWWW.
   I hadn't done much weaving before this happened, and I can't do any on the big loom until I get the stitches out.  The shuttles I'm using on the shawls are too heavy and I would have to reach into the shed (and catch the stitches).
   So.
   I can't have idle hands. I don't like being bored and I can only do so much puzzle game playing and reading.
   I got out my rigid heddle loom, warped it with some lumpy red and sparkly white acrylic/polyester yarn I had bought to make a scarf for a co-worker, and got to work.

    One of the things I love about the rigid heddle is, because you only have two positions the yarn can be in, you can weave very quickly. After forty minutes, I had about eight inches done.
   Another thing I love about it is that I can weave from the comfy easy chair instead of a hard bench!

   I may just have end result pictures of this scarf next time.
