Velcro and hand knitting--a haiku of pain
Chalk screeching on blackboard.
Dentist's drill in my mouth.
Handknit hat ripping loose from the velcro tabs of my winter jacket.

Next time I buy a winter jacket, it's honest buttons or a large toothed zipper. I hereby forswear velcro.

I hope the dentist drill was for the haiku and not reality!
But the hat damage - AH. So Sorry!
I can't wear any of my favorite scarves unless I tuck them in because of that damned velcro! Who would have known it would have such an evil side???
Ouch! My sympathies.
The sound of velco reminds me of hugging the porcelain bowl! I HATE velcro.
yeah, agreed. my new raincoat wasn't coexisting very peacefully with my hand knits, so i picked up a couple of small rolls of velcro from a craft shop and cut pieces of the fuzzy side to fit over the sticky-side velcro on my coat. stuck 'em on and things are better now.
In the really dumb purchases category: I bought a knitting bag because I liked the look of it. When I got it home I realized it had Velcro tabs to close it! I simply ripped out the Velcro.
I have very long hair, and Velcro has been known to grab it and won't let go.
Every jacket and coat I own has Velcro, even my spring jackets. Now that I've started knitting...
