Why I knit

I knit to stay sane. It's really as simple as that. Knitting relieves the stress that occurs in my life (like my assistant not showing up for work today when we have a meeting with 100 parents scheduled for tonight) and allows me to calm down and focus. Today while I was in the knit free zone known as work, I realized how much I depend on my knitting to make me not want to kill 12-14 year olds. I'm going to go knit now and recuperate from today before I have to deal with those parents tonight.
