Had allergy test done yesterday
I'm waiting for the results.

I haven't knitted since the doctor told me to stop.


Still waiting...

Might you be allergic to wool? That is no fun!

I am allergic to everything under the sun, but nothing food or textile wise...more just everything outdoors that can be breathed in!

Did the doctor not do the scratch test...those results are usually pretty immediate...unless of course you are on a laptop in the lab right now....*smiles*

I hope you get good news soon so you can pick up your knitting again. if you are allergic to wool, you can always use cotton, silk, bamboo to mention a few options.

I don't know, it was on my back.

I only reacted to one of the allergens, by the way (don't know which one yet)
