Things a knitter says during a TV commercial

Nothing makes my wife happier than to dress down into her relax cloths and sit in her recliner knitting while watching the Boston Red Sox winning a baseball game on HDTV. From my point of view it is an odd thing to watch someone who is knitting, start clapping because the Red Sox have just scored a go ahead run. Kind of like a cross between Edward Scissorhands and Freddie Krueger but with a lot of cheering and no one gets hurt.

This leads me to the title of this post, because it is during the commercial that the knitter often finds the clapping may have added or removed a few stitches without realizing it. And as any husband with a knitting wife knows this is never a good thing, especially after a long inning and the dropped stitch is way back leading to the following conversation.

Oh Damn way back way back.......
OK I know what I am going to do now.......
20-22-24-26 oh damn......
Death of me yet.......
Something is screwed up again. yarn over into, no no damn......
oh oh maybe I didn't screw up. Do you notice this?
And as any husband with a knitting wife knows the answer is always, “No Dear”

The Musing of a Knitters Husband

How to divide a roll of wool equally into 2 balls of wool

Step 1......... Setup 2 points

Step 2........Unroll the entire roll of wool counting the strands of wool as you go.


Step 3......Reroll the wool into equally sized balls of wool by dividing the total amount of strands in half.

Step 4...... Don't ask your husband when to stop the first roll or you will end up with 3 balls of wool instead of 2 equally sized balls of wool
