Obsessive knitting! Laughing at ourselves.........

"There's a lot of humour in knitting, though I know you wouldn't think it to see yarn just sitting there"

Stephanie Pearl-McPhee

Here is a short film about when knitting goes too far!

There are definitely appropriate times and places to knit. I'm not sure that the edge of a cliff is such a good idea. When I knit my balls of wool tend to go everywhere. No matter how hard I try to keep them in a bag or on my lap they manage to run away. This means I am careful about the choice of environment where I knit.  For example I wouldn't knit on an aeroplane (not that I would be allowed knitting needles on a plane nowadays anyway!) because the wool would easily run under seats and get tangled in other peoples things. Although interestingly enough others apparently do knit on planes click here to see proof (and it's a man too)!
