Different people de-stress in different ways. Some run. Some swim. Some watch chick flicks.
Others knit.
Nothing wrong with knitting. In fact, in light of the recent weather conditions, I would say knitting is a rather practical pasttime. If anyone would like to knit me a scarf, I wouldn't resist.
Although, I'd say, doing so would be walking right into a hole. Knitting in general, that is. Not specifically knitting someone a scarf.
What people don't understand is that knitting is a rather dangerous activity. The better you are at it, the more furiously the two needles move and the greater the chance that those sharp things will kill someone. The static from the wool is a potential ignition source. A cat could run into the wool, get tangled up and choke. The frustration associated with knitting is so great that it could render even Rapunzel bald.
Knitting is a potential for disaster.
Why run straight into what is clearly going to be a disaster? Why embrace temptation?
...
Because it feels good.
Sometimes people just need to feel good.

When knitting becomes a potential for disaster, who knows what eating with KNIVES and forks may do to you!!
You really do come up with some interesting ideas.
Random thought.... if knitting is so dangerous, why then is it one of the key hobby choices of the old?
Maybe the old need a little bit of excitement and danger in their lives...so they knit?
My grandma knits. You should see it. The needles move superfast and her eyes look closed. Its funny to watch :) scary too.
