[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want to know Wednesday's

Becky;
I know you were hurt, but I mean, you could have hit a main artery or it could have chipped a bone.  Call yourself, blessed.
It is just like me falling from an elevator.
I broke my ancle and the little I got from the law suit was enough for a down payment for my first condo.
I joke about it now and say, God hurt me to help me!

Terry P.

Terry, about five inches went into my thy on the needle. There is a deep scratch from whatever Dr. Ben did to get it out.

Becky who looks like she was shot in the thy, lol.

Now which story should I tell, giggle, hum.

Tunisian hook. I was sitting Tunisian crocheting the beginning of a sweater with this medium blue yarn I was just in love with. By habit when I had to answer the phone or call of nature, I just stuck the fourteen-inch hook in the side, meaning between the pillow and the arm rest of my chair. Got up, I assume, and back down I went. Something amazing went through my thy. Gave the hook a tug after I stood up and it wouldn't come out. I cut the yarn, sad face. Tried again to pull the hook out. No dice. Called 911. "What is your emergency," the young gal asked. "I have a crochet hook stuck in my them," I calmly replied. "You're kidding?" "No mam I need help from the ambulance people as it will not come out." "You're kidding? "She gave this deep huff and called the ambulance. The men came and my guide dog wiggled greeting them. Glad they liked dogs. They examined me and asked what hospital I wanted to go to.  They were not going to touch the hook. Off we went to the Osteopathic hospital. Dr. Maza greeted me. "Beck what are you doing here?" "Dr. Maza you won't believe what I did". He said, "you're kidding me?" "Oh, come on beck," with a laugh.  He looked under the blanket and was shocked. He gave a gentle pull. Then had it x rayed and called a surgeon. "Dr. Ben, you won't believe what I did." "Aw, come on Beck not funny." "Holy cow you have a needle stuck in your leg!" "Let me see those x rays." He got the needle out with no problems and sent me home, seems to me
with a script and my hook, giggle.   

The story I thought of first was, I was crocheting with this tiny size 2 or
3 hook and just was not happy. I lay down the hook on an end table picked it up and tried again. I was making my stitches way to tight. Well about the third time I laid it down it rolled into the crevice design of the table. It was stuck in there tight. I got a yarn needle and began lifting the very end up and then it would drop back in again. Then it dawned on me if the needle had no where to go, I could lift it and grab the end out easier. So, to my friend horror I pushed the needle several inches forward down the crevice, and as slick as you please the end popped up and I grabbed the needle out. 

Then there was the time my white yarn flew across the para transit van filthy floor. Hey soap and water work, grin.

Becky and her all thumbs orchestra

Oh this one is a fun one!

So we get together each Friday during the summer at a different friends cottage to knit.  One of my knitting needles rolled across the deck at my friend's cottage and down in between the cracks of the deck.  She pulled out this special tool she had for  retrieving things from under the deck.  It was a long flexible cable that had grabber fingers on one end and a button on the other end.  She fished the grabber finger end down between the cracks of the deck, positioned it over the knitting needle, pushed the button and the grabber fingers opened up.  She placed them around the knitting needle, and let go of the button.  The claws clamped onto the knitting needle.  She then fished it back up through the crack in the deck.  Pretty cool!

No I am not Nella. I don't even play her on TV, giggle. Here is her question for you as submitted by the tallest one in Krafters Korner, probably that is, lil ole me, smile.

Now we have an idea of many varied tools you have, what is the strangest place you lost your yarn or tool and how did you get it back?

Becky
