….Actually, reasons I like knitting, but who is watching anyway ?
- It keeps my hands busy, and helps me to resist the urge to choke the living shit out of people that irritate me
- I’ve got something more tangible and permanent to waste my money on, instead of just drining it
- I always have pointy things handy
- I always have scissors handy
- You can’t smoke and knit, or eat and knit, so temptation is further from me
- I’ve always got something to do on the train
- I can make myself things I could never buy in the shops
- It freaks people out to see a young person practising such an arcane art
