type='text'>Do not run with knitting needles</title><content type='html'>or maybe you should&lt;br /&gt;full article with pics and video&lt;br /&gt;at &lt;a href="http://extremecraft.typepad.com/extreme_craft/2009/07/the-needle-and-the-damage-done.html"&gt;extreme craft&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Needle (and the Damage Done)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knitting Needle Accident Reveals Cancer - ABC News&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As most Extreme Craft readers know, craft can be a dangerous, even life-threatening business.  55 year old Ellin Klor found this out the hard way when she was on the way to a knitting club meeting.  Apparently, she was so jazzed to show her friends some new patterns that she bounded up the front stairs, knitting needles in hand.  Unfortunately, Ms. Klor tripped, and one of the knitting needles (the actual remnant is pictured above) pierced her chest, lodged in her heart, and snapped off.  She didn't even notice until she got into the house, where 911 was promptly called.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The trauma team at Stanford University Hospital successfully removed the (shockingly large gauge) needle from her heart, stitched her up and sent her home.  Twelve days later, Klor woke up with a pain in her chest and shortness of breath, and got back in touch with her doctors.  When she went back to the hospital, every test came back negative until a doctor noticed that one of her lymph nodes was swollen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sherwood-survior--knit-So01-horizontal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Klor was soon diagnosed with breast cancer, which she had successfully fought a decade earlier.  Doctors actually think that the knitting needle incident saved her life, as the malignancy wouldn't have been caught until it started to spread.  According to a Newsweek article, her line of thinking that got her past the breast cancer was something like "if a knitting needle through my heart isn't enought to kill me, there's no way that a little thing like cancer is going to get in my way."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20/20 ran a video piece about Ellin Klor last Sunday, and although they didn't provide embeddable video that I could directly put up, they do have an archive of the piece HERE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this isn't an argument for playing fast and loose with craft, I don't know what is.  Don't be afraid to run with scissors (or bound up the stairs with knitting needles).  It might just save your life.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'></title><content type='html'>When we do shows it takes me a while just to catch up with other parts of my life. One of the last things I do is a blog entry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also don't blog when things in general are hectic and static. Do you know what I mean? I feel really really busy and nothing is changing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway here I am.&lt;br /&gt;The show was very &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;vvveeerrryyy&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;sloooooow&lt;/span&gt;. That puts some extra added pressure, the money thing, again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm trying to get some writing and knitting completed because the book will be released soon,&lt;br /&gt;I have been knitting, really just no pics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;here's the press release.&lt;br /&gt;I think that the title may being changing.... not sure though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;-----------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Knitting Art, profiles and works of 18 fiber artists who create fine art&lt;br /&gt;from knitting&lt;br /&gt;                       &lt;br /&gt;As some knitters craft mittens and sweaters, others find themselves taking flight into the realm of fine art, creating exhibition-quality works: &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;wearables&lt;/span&gt;, sculptures, and installations. Knitting Art: Inspiration from Innovative Artists, an exploration of art knitting, profiles eighteen prominent and intriguing practitioners of this craft-turned-art. Author Karen &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Searle&lt;/span&gt;, herself a recognized fiber artist, examines the works and inspirations of these artists who choose to communicate their ideas through knitting. Over 150 color photographs illustrate each profile, documenting the artists’ work and at the same time offering inspiration to those who might transcend the purely practical aspect of knitting. The fiber artists encountered here include  Kathryn Alexander, Lisa Anne &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Auerbach&lt;/span&gt;, Reina Mia Brill, Katharine &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Cobey&lt;/span&gt;, Carolyn &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Halliday&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Ilisha&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Helfman&lt;/span&gt;, Barb Hunt, Laura &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Kamian&lt;/span&gt;, John &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Krynick&lt;/span&gt;, Donna &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Lish&lt;/span&gt;, Anna &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Maltz&lt;/span&gt;, Janet Morton, Debbie New, Mark Newport, Lindsay &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;Obermeyer&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;Jeung&lt;/span&gt;-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;Hwa&lt;/span&gt; Park and Adrienne Sloane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the Author&lt;br /&gt;Karen &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;Searle&lt;/span&gt; is a fiber artist specializing in knit and crochet sculptural works. Her artworks have been exhibited in the United States and abroad since the late 1970s.
