While running errands yesterday opportunities presented itself all around me to wait. And since I had the presence of mind to tuck in my music box inspired sock design in my bag, I was able to knock out a few rows here and there.......
So...... I got to thinking, knitting (or crocheting) is a no fuss, easy set up, sneak a few minutes in here of there hobby. Lets say I have 15 minutes to kill or wait.... Scrapbooking? That won't work, to much set up time, lots of tabletop space required, lots of equipment and not to mention the time to pack it back up. Painting? to bulky, to messy and lots of set up/take down time.......by the time you get everything set up, your 15 minutes have passed......the same is true with pottery, weaving, stamp collecting and many others.
Don't get me wrong.... I admire all creative hobbies and those who are skilled at them. I'm just saying that knitting (or crocheting) is perfect for filling random minutes thru the day. Pick it up, do a half a row, set it down and easy to pick it right back up from where you left it. There is no mandatory minimum amount of time.
I will also remember that if I only knit 15 minutes a day, it may take me months to finish a pair of socks.
