Eep--glad you're feeling somewhat better.

Wishing to detangle yarn isn't a shameful confession, IMO. Though I certainly don't mess up skeins on purpose (life is not long enough), undoing knots and miswindings can be rather soothing, I think (for me) because it results in something ready for productive use.

You're a stronger person than I--10' of headphone cable irritates me more than 200+ yards of snarled yarn.

No, indeed. Sinus infections are quite bad enough on their own. Hope you are soon feeling better.

I love that primer. Poor lads...
