I Recognize That Knitting Can

It Is A Peculiarity Of Knitters That They Chronically Underestimate The Amount Of Time It Takes To Knit Something. Birthday On Saturday? No Problem. Socks Are Small. Never Mind That The Average Sock Knit Out Of Sock-weight Yarn Contains About 17,000 Stitches. Never Mind That You Need Two Of Them. (that's 34,000 Stitches, For Anybody Keeping Track.) Socks Are Only Physically Small. By Stitch Count, They Are Immense.

Just Because Something Is Fun Doesn't Mean It's A Waste Of Time.

...the Number One Reason Knitters Knit Is Because They Are So Smart That They Need Knitting To Make Boring Things Interesting. Knitters Are So Compellingly Clever That They Simply Can't Tolerate Boredom. It Takes More To Engage And Entertain This Kind Of Human, And They Need An Outlet Or They Get Into Trouble. "...knitters Just Can't Watch Tv Without Doing Something Else. Knitters Just Can't Wait In Line, Knitters Just Can't Sit Waiting At The Doctor's Office. Knitters Need Knitting To Add A Layer Of Interest In Other, Less Constructive Ways.
