That spot is where I push my knitting needles in, and I guess with all the knitting I’ve been doing while I’m home right now, the callus just gave up the ghost. It probably wouldn’t have happened with my Denise needles, as they’re not so pointy, but my Options Interchangeable ones are quite pointy. Sometimes I’ve felt like I’ve needed to wear a finger guard or something as I knit, but since I developed a callus there, I figured I was good.

Well, I was wrong.

The skin actually peeled off, and I’ve got a little crater on my index finger. Looks kinda funny, and I must say, it annoys the crap out of me! BUT, I didn’t finish off my friend’s shawl this week, which I’m excited about. I’m going to test it out by washing it this weekend, so I’ll keep you posted on how it fares.
