Knit.

Sure, this image has nothing to do with the post – but man, it made me laugh anyway. I can’t explain it, so either you’re laughing along with me or you’re kind of horrified. Either way, I’m laughing.

Okay, now then:

Coffee and I sit on the sofa, knitting. We’re watching various television programs, most recently COPS. He’s patiently and consistently working on the scarf he’s making. I am working on a scarf of my own which is a gift for someone else.

Me: I hate knitting.
(knit two rows)
Me: I fucking HATE knitting.
(stop knitting and check email. No new message. Dammit.)
Me: Stupid knitting.
(knit two rows)
Me: I fucking hate knitting. Why am I knitting?
(knit one row, stare into space for a while)
Me: FUCKING knitting. Stupid knitting.
(knit another row)
Me: Hey, dude? Feel my knitting, isn’t it soft? It looks nice, doesn’t it?
Coffee: It’s nice! Very nice!
(Coffee goes back to his own knitting)
Me: I hate knitting. Fucking knitting. This is stupid.
(stop to check email again. No new email. Dammit.)
