Knitting is good for you!

Or, so I tell myself. There are lots of documented benefits, like... eh... reduced arthritis symptoms??? Okay there may be lots of documented health benefits from hand crafts such as knitting, but I am not so certain that this isn't as unhealthy as it is healthy.

For example, so far this year, I have missed sleep, given myself carpel tunnel syndrome (although that could be the work I do as well) put on some unspecified amount of weight from sitting too long, and trained my daughter to say, "when you have finished your knitting will you...".

Way to ignore your child for yarn, dude.

But, look on the bright side, I have knit up a couple shawls, and a pair of socks since January 1st!
