You might be a knitter

I haven't seen another list like this, but I haven't been reading blogs very long either. If anyone knows of another list, please let me know. I'd love to see it. This is also just a little insight into how knitters get a bit quirky; and being the good southerner that I am, I modeled it off of Jeff Foxworthy's famous routine.

This post gets a bit PG, due to a reference that may be taken badly. I was a bit hesitant because I am a daughter and granddaughter before I am an adult and maintain some aspects of those roles. Still, it is funny.

You might be a knitter if:

• Counting sheep keeps you awake with excitement


• You keep rewinding a movie to see the sweaters a little better


• You see a package of cocktail toothpicks as really cheap cable needles


• You stop by the side of the road during cotton harvesting season to snag some free cotton for spinning


• Your mate finds yarn in his drawers (because you've run out of space everywhere else)


• Your kids no longer moan when you say "Just one more row"


• You know how to pronounce "skein"


• You don't own a single handknit scarf


• You don't own a scarf at all


• You only wear hand knit socks


• Your kids always have a scarf


• Your kids' school projects always include yarn


• Thoughts of trans-atlantic flights or cross country train rides fill you with joy


• You know the dangers of SEX*


• You enable other knitters during SEX


• You don't go to movies because they are dark and you can't rewind


• You have an iPod so you can keep up with your "reading"


• Moths terrify you


• You laugh at "Dry Clean Only" labels on wool sweaters


• When planning vacations, you include LYS on the list of "attractions"


• You know how to sew a rip in a knit t-shirt


• Before you buy a sweater on mega-sale, you check the side seams


• You carry a larger purse (backpack) to hold your WIP


• You move to a colder climate to wear more knitted goods


• You visit the "I love alpacas" website daily


• You had to find new friends because your other friends just didn't understand


• You stop random people on the street and asked to see the insides of their sweaters
