Here is a photo of my burned sweater; you can see the holes and the scorch marks.
I’m generally impatient – so because I have to physically hold the gas knob on my stove in for awhile before it will stay on, I usually hold it with my hip while I try to do something at the same time – chop onions, or get out paprika. Today, I was heating up my chicken soup and getting out a bowl, when I looked down to see that I was on fire. It was quite a sight, and had I not been a bit alarmed to see flames jumping from my sweater, or had just had a moment to think, I might have grabbed my camera to capture it. But here is a video showing how this happened.
