No hide was (permanently) harmed

I am making another pair of seamless slippers using the same heathered green and variegated autumn yarn combination.  These need to be finished by Wednesday evening.  I had gotten to the ribbing part and use dpns (double-pointed needles).  I left them on the leather sofa when I got up to do something.  And when I came back to work on the slippers, I sat on the needles.

OUCH!!!

I was lucky neither I nor the cowhide sofa got punctured. 

Boy oh boy, do I have a sore spot on the back of my leg!
