I was having fun working along with my latest spinning project... the Mystery Mohair when ANOTHER mystery popped up
Sigh. I am broken out in a delightful red bumpy ITCHY rash all over one side of my face from my forehead, around my eye, ear, down my neck.
I haven't eaten anything new or really had contact with anything new except this mystery wool I have been spinning. In the past I have worked with Mohair commercial yarn, but that was a blend (so only a percentage was actually Mohair) and it would have only touched my hands probably. I made a scarf and then gave it away. makes me wonder if I would have had a reaction if I wore it?
Also makes me wonder if this mystery stuff really is Mohair? or Poison Ivy in disguise? Common sense says no, but the Rash says otherwise ;)
So I guess I have to put this project to bed for a while... at least until I'm not puffy or red or annoyed anymore.
I have been knitting though... and will post more about those projects later on this week.
