When I finished harvesting I looked at my thumb which was cut quite deep and it was already starting to heal. I was amazed and then I remembered that lavender essential promotes healing and has been used by medics in the first world ware, I was amazed. I suspect bleeding on cotton would be much more serious than bleeding on lalvender however.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-52257357030537463322014-12-29T01:02:14.559-05:002014-12-29T01:02:14.559-05:00Fascinating.

I actually learned to crochet with a size 14 hook and 50 DMC, 5 cord, so I could crochet lace on garters I made for my friend's wedding.

Have been crocheting and knitting my whole life, but never, unfortunately, had much exposure to looms. The only time I even encountered serious looms was on Madeline Island when we were in WI. I am too old this time around😥! About the thin skin and the cuts. I discovered Nexcare bandages at Walmart. I like them so much that I might have a lifetime supply! They are clear, made to be applied with one hand, and won't come off until you take them off. Really waterproof. Not bulky, either My 2-year-old Yorkie likes to play; alas, I pay a price! I have not been paid to advertise, but the thin skin needs all the help I can get. <br />Look forward to "watching" your weaving!RunNRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610154229648677906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-82343969188294071662014-12-28T21:12:48.687-05:002014-12-28T21:12:48.687-05:00The supervisor looks very serious, even if he is p...The supervisor looks very serious, even if he is probably more interested in meal breaks than in the work.rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-46091766673056157852014-12-28T19:32:26.422-05:002014-12-28T19:32:26.422-05:00Such a cute supervisor you have!
