Wool Frustration Being allergic to wool has never bothered me too much... until I started knitting! It seems like all of the most beautiful yarns are wool.... ARGH! Today, though, I'm proving to myself that wool isn't entirely off limits- I am wearing a holiday cardigan that was a gift from my boyfriend's mom several years ago- it is a very soft, fine gauge lambswool. As long as I don't let it touch my skin directly, it seems to be ok.... although it is kinda hot in a wool sweater and a turtleneck. And I have been sneezing more today... but I still don't think I could actually knit anything in pure wool. :( Well, on the bright side, at least there are alternatives- imagine if I had been born in medieval England- I would have either had to learn to deal with it, or gone naked... now there's a thought! ;)
