My first blog. I'm so nervous. Will I enjoy it? More importantly, will it be good for you too? Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself.
As a new knitter, I am somewhat dismayed by the cavalier attitude of many knitters, including Grasshopper and Sensei, towards an insidious and dangerous practice. While seeking advice regarding my first attempt to knit socks, I have been appalled to hear many knitters tell me that sock knitting is great during car rides. Maybe in my youth, I might have steered the vehicle with my knees while balancing a burger and beer. But I have matured. No more burgers while driving. Governments around the world are banning the use of handheld electronic devices when operating a motor vehicle. This was done because of the danger to public safety. They should also consider banning low tech distractions such as needles, crochet hooks and yarn. Unfortunately, for many, knitting is a serious addiction. They can be seen during the morning commute, steering, knitting and applying mascara. They are just one dropped stitch from catastrophe. We must take action. We need to keep our roads safe. Plus the multitasking makes for sloppy knitwear that some poor devil will have to wear. Talk to your MP today.
