Knitting...a baby hat

For about a year now, I have become totally consumed by knitting for many reasons. It’s mobile, you can take your project anywhere and multi-task while creating - walking, talking, commuting to work, watching TV, in the car (as a passenger, of course). You are essentially creating something during your “down time” and I love this. 

I just started a new project - a gift that I'm hoping to give to him on December 21st for Winter Solstice.  I'm using a beautiful machine washable superfine merino by Alchemy.  I hope he likes the way it feels.

I recently found this quote after talking with my mom about my obsession with being efficient - my undying need to use every waking moment to its fullest.  Turns out, I'm not alone.

"...knitters just can't watch TV without doing something else. Knitters just can't wait in line, knitters just can't sit waiting at the doctor's office. Knitters need knitting to add a layer of interest in other, less constructive ways."  - Stephanie Pearl-McPhee
