Wool you be mine?

Happy February. The month of Valentine's and Presidential White Sales. It got me thinking that whom ever our valentines are this year (the guy, the kids, the parents), they certainly do put up with our obsession, don't they? The clacking of needles, yarn everywhere, hearing us sound like the parents on Charlie Brown (waa waa, waa waa) when we are on the phone talking to a kindred knitter about "this incredible cashmerino". I'll tell you, I can't imagine if my guy had a "hobby" like this. Granted he loves to watch sports and he plays baseball on a league. but none of that includes me.  I can't imagine if he, let's say, built model airplanes or something, and he took them everywhere, and did it everytime we watched a movie, and asked me to drive so he could 'work on them' in the car, etc. etc. Or what about stopping in every single model airplane shop in every town on every trip, or wanting me to take some interest in this great new "prop for the new Sonic 244." Not to mention the idea that it would be something that he constantly spent money on that had nothing to do WITH ME. Ha! No way. But this is different, you say?? Not as much as we'd like to think. So, this Valentine's Day, I have the perfect gag gift to accompany that other nice thing I'm going to get him (and no, it won't be a scarf!). It's a tee shirt that let's him know  how I feel about him. If you like the idea, you can get one, too at Ye Ol' Knit and Plenty Store. (proceeds to charity.)

Yeah, I finally got my guy to realize that my knitting is my only therapy, and if it weren't for it, we'd be divorced by now, or even worse. And every once in a while, I throw him a bone and knit something for him. It all tends to even out, you know?

My DH fishes. And he's done so longer than I've been knitting--I've been dragged into bait and tackle stores up and down the East Coast. So I don't feel so bad about dragging him into knitting stores. :)

Yeah, and every year leading up to Christmas he drives you crazy as he works overtime making model airplanes for everyone in the family.
