Charity knitting poll

[neadods]

I may have just gotten some good news, but I'm afraid to go into detail and jinx myself. So, instead, a poll.

As y'all know, I think Covers and Soles is a great cause. Thing is... My wool allergy is definitely an issue. Whe I first pick up the project, it doesn't seem too bad to handle, but after about 10 minutes, it gets slowly so itchy that it's like fire. I'll put it down and then repeat the whole cycle again. I *can* knit -- well, in theory, I found a lumpy mistake and have to start over on this one -- and the pattern's fun, but... Well, but.

I wonder if I'm better off cheering from the sidelines (passing my wool on to someone who will complete the hats) or simply not working so fast on a hat (see icon) -- maybe working at two rounds a night so I don't get oversensitive or something like that. Thoughts?

I get a rash when I wear it, followed by hives. I thought that it would be okay to knit, but the hand I tension with has the wool rubbing between fingers and across the back, and even if the skin isn't getting red, it feels like the rash, y'know?

On a side note, going to yarn shows is like electroshock therapy. Oooh, that's so -ack! Yum, that... No. Etc.
