As you are reading this I will probably be stuck in a traffic jam on my way South West to Bath. I will be frustrated because I am driving and my 4 year old will be asking to stop for a ‘wee wee’ every half an hour. I hate traffic, especially since we moved from the South East to the Midlands. I have an overactive imagination which means I can see accidents happening, even when they aren’t, so by the time I get to my destination I will be a nervous wreck. Over the last year I have managed the problem of being ‘the nervous passenger’ by taking my knitting along – I can honestly say it has saved my marriage (well made it a little less strained). I can knit happily – paying attention to the pattern rather than the road whilst still not getting travel sick. I normally reserve small projects for long trips – like knitted boobs or preemie cardigans.
Knitting on the M25
Do you think this counts as extreme knitting (if not you haven’t experienced my OH’s driving)? Unfortunately I can’t knit and drive (though I may have a scarf stuffed in my bag in case traffic reaches a standstill).
Can anyone recommend any good wool/yarn shops in Bath?
