10 Reasons Why I Knit
Posted on
- Knitting means I can sit in a waiting room and be quite happy that the dentist is running 30 minutes late.
- Knitting makes me a much calmer passenger in the car. It also means that I don’t mind the occasional small traffic jam. This may be helped by the spare ball of sock yarn which lives in the glove box.
- I will never have too many pairs of hand knitted socks.
- Knitting lets me have the jumper I want. Exactly the jumper I want. Not one that would be perfect if it were a better colour, the sleeves were 3 inches longer and the neck was different.
- Knitting is the perfect way to relax.
- Knitting lets me watch scary things on tv. When it all gets too much for my nerves I focus on what I’m doing. I’ll admit this doesn’t always work. On more than one occasion I’ve jumped and managed to pull a knitting pin out of my work.
- Buying knitting patterns lets me support independent designers, and it doesn’t cost a fortune.
- Having something to do with my hands that I can pick up and put down as needed is my definition of a perfect hobby.
- Knitting is a hobby that you can take to the pub.
- Knit and natter groups are a great way to meet fascinating and amazing people.
