This is but one hand of a very tired Yarnista. Notice the little cuts. Notice the blue-tinged fingertips, courtesy of a spilled bottle of turquoise dye. You can't see the burn on the inside of my wrist, but it's there. (PSA: steam burns can be as bad as burns from direct heat.)
Try not to notice the bad stuff about this hand. Think nice things, if you can manage.
Notice the ring: vintage. I can't wear my regular wedding/engagement ring most of the time, because it rips holes in my gloves, and I wear gloves for hours every day. I wanted something smoother that I could wear all the time.
But back the yarnista part. Here is one half of a pair of hard working hands. These hands may be a little funny looking, but they can type 80+ words a minute and hold a chunky baby girl and dye many many thousands of skeins of yarn. Tomorrow, I'll show you more of what these hands can do, if you're not sick of me yet.

it's a beautiful hand, to go with a beautiful woman.
with those long fingers, do you play an instrument besides yarn???? i really like your vintage ring....that is my type of jewelry. you have such good and artistic taste. keep dying!!!!
Funny, I was just thinking "nice ring" when you mentioned it. I agree with another poster here: beautiful hand to go with a beautiful woman. And you are incredibly talented too. Your hands look like those of an artist.
Funny and sad. LOVELY ring. Hope those hands get a rest sometime soon.
You can tell those are strong fingers, See how the index finger kind of twists inward? That runs in my Irish family. Who all are very good at working with their hands! I bought the peach colorway even though I should NOT be doing so. It is absolutely perfect! Keep on--you can do it.
