Last night after work, I raced to the Yarn Barn (the only place in SA where you know you'll be able to find DPNs) to get another set of size 1 DPNs to replace my broken set. I even called to make sure they would be open, and Bobbie said she'd stay open for me, if necessary. I got there in spite of rush-hour traffics and bought a set of plastic size 1s. Although I love the look and feel of bamboo DPNs, when they're the size of long toothpicks, they break so easily. The plastics don't seem as pointy, but I don't think they'll break.
Then, earlier this evening, while taking a pan of cookies out of the oven, I burned my left index finger. It's down near the knuckle (the one by my hand) so I don't think it will interfere seriously, but it's already blistered.
In true Olympic spirit, though, I'll work though this and carry on. After all, I have this luscious Koigu to convert into socks in 16 days!

This is what Team USA is all about! You're an inspiration to us all! I can't wait to see your coach carry you to the medal podium!
Ok, that maybe goes too far. ;)
Now you know what it feels like to be a true Olympian. Ummm, if Keri Strug can get a gold medal on a broken ankle...
Seriously, hope your finger is better soon. Have a couple of cookies and a glass of wine to get through the pain.
