Thanks to Robin, my morning chuckle came from this list. That pretty much covers the reasons for knitting. Now to come up with more reasons to buy yarn. I know I don't need more, but in case I am ever challenged I should have a clever answer or two tucked away.

I have finished one Drunken Master sock and am well on my way on the second one. This pair is being knit for a close friend of my eldest daughter. Yesterday, B was over here afterschool, so I asked her what she thought of the finished one. The look on her face was priceless when I told her it was for her! It fit her perfectly! Yay! The size charts here are super and really help when you are trying to knit without measuring the recipients feet. B is not shy, and these socks are not for the faint of heart. Now to get them finished.
