There's something new in my knitting basket. Is it that great book, 'Vintage Knits'? Or my first ever intarsia project? Besides those things you also see...my knitting glasses. For a few months now I have been needing more distance between my eyes and whatever I am reading, sewing, or knitting. Well, I finally went to get my eyes checked out. After the initial eye chart reading the doctor said , "You have impeccable eyesight', she wrote 20/20 on my licsence renewal card. "O.k.", I said, "If they're so perfect, how come I can't see when I'm knitting?". "You're a knitter?!", she exclaimed. "Yes", I replied. "Obssesive?", she asked. "Can be", I said. Her reply? "Oh, we've got to get you some knitting glasses!" When she checked my eyes with that very close up magnifying device she said, "Oh, yes, you're a knitter. I can see a lot of fibers stuck in your eyelashes.". That was strange to hear. Maybe my knitting glasses will work as a shield to protect my eyes from all those fibers!
Hahahah...so funny Eve! :) Your doctor sounds like a good one. Love this post. I'm near sighted so I just take my glasses off to see near, which can be bad if I forget where I put them. ;)))

ReplyDeleteHa Tracey!- My skills are not "there" yet. I ripped this sweater out at least 5 times already to make those flowers, but thank you.
ReplyDeleteThis is so interesting! I don't knit but sew a lot and use yarn for doll hair. When my vision seems to be getting fuzzy it may just be my eyes getting fuzzy hehe.

ReplyDeleteLol, on the fibers! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I bet you look too cute in your knitting glasses...
