I have a real problem with nickel. Early on, I discovered nickel was
an allergen, when I had to wear a leg
brace. My ears are particularly sensitive to nickel. I do not have
pierced ears. And, yes, I have pained
my clip-ons with clear nail polish, but it is not a perfect solution.
However, I make jewelry, because I love
to do so. It is fun to do and relieves stress for me. That is true
even when I am working hard to figure
out a new stitch. New stitches are always a challenge . . I am a
leftie. How do other lefties cope? When
I did needlepoint, I would turn the instruction book upside down.
