Let’s say this loud and clear once and for all: I’m a public knitter and I love it! Knitting can be a pretty solitary activity, which I don’t mind, but I also love to be surrounded by other people when I knit, whether they are with me or just around me. The only thing I don’t like, and this goes for all my activities including knitting, is doing things in short snippets of time. I don’t like taking out my needles if I have to put them away in 10 minutes, and the same goes for a book, a jog, or a telephone conversation.
Here’s the list of all the places where I’ve knit so far:
- a fjord (definitely the most exotic location)
- a mountain (after climbing, I kept motivating myself – another 20 minutes, then a knitting break ;)
- cars (I thought I’d get motion sickness, but I was fine)
- trains (ideal for long train-rides)
- cafes (especially open-air ones)
- park benches (obviously)
- the grass (one of my favourites)
- the beach (sand and wool are not the best combination)
- the floor (you’d be surprized how often)
- my bed (but not lying down)
- armchairs (difficult with straight needles)
- hotels (I don’t like hotels, I get terribly lonely in them, knitting helps)
- a museum (one girl stopped watching the movie on the artist and stared at me for 20 minutes straight)
- pubs (a totally British thing – luv it!)
- a library (there is one library at my school where people go to sleep. I go to knit)
- a yarn shop (skeins are always trying to sneakily jump into your lap and make you take them home with you)
- a bookshop (probably the most magical bookshop I’ve ever been to)
- at my desk (when I’m trying to figure out a technique from an online tutorial)
Interestingly, there aren’t many photos of me knitting, and in those that do exist – I’m usually frowning. I think that’s just my concentrated face… :) But, instead of that, you get a smile today (I’ve been waiting for an excuse to show off my new hairstyle ;)
Hugs all round! :)
