Actually, I've had the same problem while sitting at my computer. My DH had it in bed (after having been sitting at the computer). Turns out we have very tiny ants that are extremely hard to see, they're almost clear. But they have a big bite!

Next time you sit down to sew, have some scotch tape handy. If you feel a bite, stick it quick with tape and see if you don't catch one of the little buggers.

Sounds to me like it might be your legs. Could it be the way your sitting? Are you cutting off part of the circulation in your legs? Sort of pins and needles kind of thing?

Try this to rule out bugs: rub your legs and ankles with a sheet of Bounce. If there are no more bites, then you have a bug problem. If the feeling persists, try your doctor.

I think so too! Kind of like when your arms or legs Go to sleep, you getthis numb prickly sensation. I get this in my hip if I sit for long periods and my thigh actualy feels like something is crawling on it.
