This really made m crack up. I was reading a list of Knitting "Lessons from the School of Hard Knocks"
on Fiber Gypsy- http://www.fibergypsy.com/common/hardknock.shtml.I teach beginning knitting through the extended studies program at the local university, and at the first class I tell my knitters there are three things you will say, and when you've said them, you'll know you are a knitter: Anonymous
The house could be on fire, you could be late to the wedding of a child or close relative or dear friend, or in labor, and you will say "Wait till I get to the end of this row......."
To a person to whom you would listen attentively under normal circumstances, you will say, "DON'T TALK TO ME, I'M COUNTING"
More often muttered than spoken clearly, but repeated throughout one's knitting life, regardless of years knitting or level of expertise, you will say " 112, 113, 114, 115, 11...... SSH***T! 1, 2, 3, 4, "
This is so me.
