These here pointy sticks

[afuna]

Almost poked myself in the eye with a DPN (literally, I have a small cut just below my left eye).

I think I just gained a great deal of respect for these here pointy sticks I'm holding in my handts...

There was a story a while back of a woman who tripped and fell on a knitting needle which stabbed her through the heart. She recognised what had happened, didn't remove the needle, got herself to the hospital, and survived. Unfortunately the news article everyone links to is no longer on the web, so I can't link it :(

I remember seeing that story!

And yeah, Fu, I almost poked myself in the eye too!

*wince* Ouch! I definitely have a great deal of respect for the pointiness of knitting needles now. So glad she made it through okay!
