The things they don't warn you about Crochet...

Oh wow. I just totally stabbed myself in the hand with my new 0.6mm crochet hook. It's basically a needle with a tiny hook on the end, which made pulling it out all the more joyous. They don't tell you that you might slip putting the tip cover back on your brand new steel crochet hooks, and that the ends are really pointy, and that if you jab yourself with them, they WILL sink into the flesh. Those old ladies doing filet and lace crochet are fucking hardcore, yo.

As I'm yelping and moaning, my dear, sympathetic mother said, "Oh, that looks ex-crochet-ating!" Thanks, Mum.
