Today is my friend Mari's birthday. I gave her a couple of doilies I had crocheted as part of her gift. She suggested that I write a blog about crocheting...I think that would even put me to sleep, but it got me thinking. One of my techniques to avoid food is to keep my hands busy. I eat out of boredom. If my hands are full and my mind is occupied, it's easier for me to stay away from snack foods. So I knit or crochet, especially during the winter. When the weather gets nicer, I'll go out and walk, garden, putz around in the yard. Although I love doing it, reading doesn't quite do it. It's too easy to read and eat with one hand. But I can always listen to books on tap or MP3 recordings while I knit, crochet, walk etc.
So, if you're trying to stop snacking, "Knit one purl two!" :)
I knew you'd find a way to talk about crocheting!! Loved it, especially your final line......never knew it was "purl" and not "pearl." There's my knitting ignorance showing through. Thanks again for making my birthday extra special today!!
