There are so many reasons to love yarn, and those reasons are as
different as the crafters who use it. But, what we can agree on is that
using yarn confers a benefit to us. (Otherwise, why would we keep on
using it?) One of the greatest benefits for me, is that yarn and
knitting give me a way to pass time that otherwise would be wasted, or
spent doing something much less pleasant. It allows me to take those
little chunks of time standing in line at the grocery store, in the
waiting room at the dentist, riding the train, etc., and turn them into
productive moments. When you’re an on-the-go type of knitter, it’s kind
of amazing how much time you never knew you had! But, sometimes, life
throws you a situation in which waiting is all you can do, and unless
you have something to keep your brain busy, it drags on forever. Like
the hospital!
We checked in at 7am. I pulled out the little sleeves as the nurses went through the pre-op procedure.
