Here's a great example of always carrying your knitting with you
every where you go!
I'm working on mittens for myself right now. (Black alpaca/merino)
I just spilled coffee on my knitting bag yesterday. (My knitting bag
has ended up also becoming my purse - just threw my wallet, pocket
calendar and cell phone in.) It's in the laundry, so just this
morning, I changed to my old leather purse. It's big enough to hold
my mitten project. Yet, as I was heading out this morning to take
the girls to the movie theater, I hesitated on grabbing my knitting.
I didn't want to knit during the movie. I shrugged and threw them in
my purse anyway.
No, I didn't knit during the movie. But right afterward, we picked
up Daddy and the baby and headed right out the door for another
outing. While touring a local brewery, our four-year-old tumbled
down a flight of stairs on her face. She was taken to the emergency
room by ambulance with me riding along. While sitting at the
hospital, I was able to pull out my knitting, which really helped to
pass the time. (She has mild concussion, a huge hematoma, a bruised
but fortunately not broken nose, abrasions on her face - but nothing
that needed stitches, and a cracked front baby tooth. She'll be fine.)
Pulling out my old leather purse, by the way, was like opening a time
capsule. According to the old receipts, pay check stubs and movie
tickets, I haven't used the purse since early 2000, just after
getting married and just before getting pregnant. Among the old
cough drops, various business cards, pocket knife, pens and
lipsticks, I found five old love letters from my husband. Ahhh....

Twould be fun to come up with a list of knitting reasons or
excuses--like the surgeon who knits to keep her hands flexible, or
those who knit to keep arthritis at bay. I think mine would be
making cheap gifts :)
