There's a weekly casual craft group at the local library now and I planned to go yesterday and wanted to take a new crochet project. This baby blanket seemed like a good idea. I got it started Wednesday night and worked on it for 2 hours. At the end of that session my eyes were burning and my sinuses were inflamed. 30 minutes after I stopped everything cleared up. Apparently I'm allergic to this yarn so I stopped this project and will donate this yarn. I still needed a project to work on at the library and I remembered this shawl. I remembered that it was easy and I had the same yarn in a different colorway and could follow the exact same instructions. It goes really fast and I got this much done in 2 hours at the library. In the sewing room I'm steadily working away on the surgery drain bags. It's possible that I get these done this weekend....but not likely. I'm sure I'll find some sort of other distraction!
have you been to this library before and never had an allergic reaction? just wondered if it could have been a cleaning product or a perfume that affected you - that has happened to me - easy if it was the yarn and just not use it again.

Like Karen, I wonder if they had used some new cleaning product in the library that caused the allergy. (or maybe someone nearby was using a new fragrance-those can affect me quite strongly. )

Wonder what would be in that yarn that would set off your allergies. Too bad because it's a pretty yarn and would make a lovely blanket. Comments are closed.
