...I know those all too well.
Thankfully, I'm pretty safe with a blunt tapestry (embroidery) needle. Put me behind a sewing machine, and that's a different story altogether. First of all, you'd never know that I'd been using one of the cussed machines since I was 15... I still sew like a complete novice, with crooked seams and everything. I don't think I've ever actually finished a sewing project!
The last time I tried to make something, I was making a bodice for a Renaissance costume - like a corset, but it laced up both sides. I was poking holes for the lacing using a pair of sharp embroidery scissors, but it still required quite a bit of force - I was poking through 4 layers of fabric at a time. Well, wouldn't you know it, I gave the scissors a good push, and they popped through... and into my finger. I ended up gouging my middle finger from fingertip to palm, quite deep. You better believe I swore, and I quit *that* project immediately. (Like I was going to be able to sew with my right hand bandaged anyway! LOL!)
I'll stick to crochet, thanks. I've never heard of anyone getting injured on a crochet hook. 
The piece you're working on sounds interesting! I've never heard of Lowry, but now I'm going to go look him up.
