Cotton!
Why, why, why does it have to hurt so much?
When I knit with non-mercerized cotton (like I am now), it's like ropes in my hands. It's hard to work with and it burns.
When I work with mercerized cotton, it's like fiberglass in my hands. It's hard to work with and it burns.
Yet I LOVE the look of cotton.
Why? Why must cotton torment me so? Yoo yoo. Yoo yoo.*
(*That's the Korean noise for crying. Its letter actually looks like tears. ㅠㅠ Love it. See the tears running down the closed eyes?)
