Episode 8: Medical Code Y93D1
Warning: This episode contains some slightly gross material that describes injuries related to knitting and crocheting instruments. So if that is not something you'd like to hear described, consider skipping this episode. This week, Ashley brings us a handful of stories from folks who suffered crafting-related injuries! Including a woman who accidentally impaled herself with a knitting needle and two stories of kiddos who were injured while playing with craft-related tools. Natalie and Ashley also share a few personal stories they've heard about folks who were injured while crafting. Since it's been a while since we've had an episode, we also catch up on FOs (finished objects) from the past few months and our latest snacks! Natalie has finished Snuggle is Real (with ND Yarn Co), Tricerasox (using Jamie Lomax's Triceratops Cowl chart), another pair of Boring Man Socks (with amazing Seismic Yarn butter sock), & the latest Imagined Landscapes MKAL - Make Gnome Mistake Ashley has also finished Make Gnome Mistake and the Snuggle is Real (with Machete Shop & Sugarplum Circus). Excitingly she also finally finished her Flax Light sweater (which ended up being a sweater dress...) using her Goosey Fibers advent calendar. She'll wear the sweater dress with BeWildHer leggings as soon as it's cool enough. For snacks, Natalie made her Easter candy stash last into summer while Ashley has been snacking on Old Bay Goldfish.
