Yes, I talk knitting, and explain how wonderfully relaxing it is to strangers who seem awestruck at the teeny-tiny stitches in socks... It's a great ego-boo.


I've used bobby pins for stitch markers. Gave up eventually and got some actual stitch markers, though. Dull tipped size 7 knitting needles topped with decorative beads make nifty hair sticks, don't you know...


Not afraid of basic knitting math. Have knit mobius and Fibonacci, and collect geeky knitting links...

...although my daughter did use that lovely cashmere blend vest as the basis for a two headed monster halloween costume.
