How weird am I?
Notorious Sock Knitters | January 29, 2008
I am going through a particularly stressful time at work. So, I have my little skein of emergency sock yarn in my vest pocket-just squeezing it and scrunching it a few times now and then is really de-stressing me! Sort of like my old “blankie” when I was a kid . . . so, am I weird or just a normal fiber loving knitter? Whatever I am -it’s working! Cheers to you all!

Don’t worry about it. I have special things I carry in my pocket when life requires it. Just don’t lose your de-stresser — that’s when I get really stressed!

Nothing weird about you. Knitting..it’s cheaper than therapy!
Hehehe…that makes me laugh a little because when I took the little skein out of the package, I kept walking around with it like it was my most treasured little prize. I wasn’t even having a bad day or anything. So no, I don’t find that weird at all. And if it is, you’re not alone:)
Nope, not strange at all. There’s something about how it feels and being able to see the color. The color is beautiful regardless of my day.
Random by somewhat related: some folks are taught to carry 2 polished stones in a pocket and pass them in their hand. Helps calm/soothe and focus/concentration. Emergency sock yarn fits this bill in my world.
Not weird at all. There’s a large clear vase full of yarn on my office desk. When the stress is overwhelming, it gets played with.
Personally, I think it’s a great idea. I may even try it. Thanks!!!
