Reasons To Knit Even If You Are Young

1. Because you can appear to be so engrossed, even while knitting a garter stitch scarf, that you can ignore annoying, non-knitting people without appearing rude. Seriously, how could they know?

2. Because developing a yarn habit is cheaper than developing a smoking habit. Usually.

3. Because you can knit a sweater to get rid of a boyfriend you are no longer interested in and save yourself all of the awkwardness.

4. Because it’s as mobile as a cell phone without the ridiculous fees for features you never use enough to justify the fees.

5. Because when you finally do get to the old folks home, you will have something to do with your hands besides stuff your face full of jello.
