The place I’ve felt strangest knitting was waiting for a mammogram while in those little light green gowns – and with my socks on.

i was knitting socks for a friend who was quite ill and she passed away before i could finish them. i was majorly disappointed that she didn’t get them before passing because she was beyond excited to receive her first ever knitted gift. since i really wanted her to have them, i knit during her entire wake and finished them just in time to get them into the coffin with her before she went six feet under. some of the looks i got of the other mourners were of extreme horror (how insensitive they all thought) but i know my friend is out somewhere dancing with her hand knit socks.

I knit while I Activate!

As a frequent campaign staffer/volunteer I often spend hours on the phone talking to voters. On two different campaigns now I’ve had the occasion to use the predictive dialer, Activate. Because the dialer is doing all the work my hand are free to, well, knit.

It always amuses people in the office to see me talking to voters, and knitting. During the last campaign I worked on, television news crews came by to film the busy campaign staff and volunteers, and were absolutely fascinated with my multitasking…unfortunately the footage didn’t actually end up making the cut for the evening news.

Joshin, you maniac!

I am so tame. I’ve knit while walking to work, and while at the movies, but never during medical procedures and never on a rollercoaster.

My dentist let me knit a sock while he filled 3 cavities. Every time I would start to tense up, he would yell over the drill “keep knitting! keep knitting!” I think that is the fasted I have ever knit!

The craziest place I have ever knitted is probably a field in Ireland with sheep! The group I was with gave me quite a hard time about my knitting but who had two pairs of socks by the end of the trip I ask you?

I knit at a Super Bowl party once. I didn’t think it was all that crazy, but the other attendees thought I was rather nuts. I did manage not to get pizza sauce on the white blanket!

Not really a crazy place to knit, but definitely exotic (for me). On a JR train between Ueda and Bessho Onsen, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. As the only gaijin on the train, I figured I already stuck out, so I might as well knit a hat. =)

My fiancée and I felt it was incumbent upon us to open the eyes of a friend of ours, an innocent, young man. She suggested that the two of us take him to a strip club, and I insisted that, as a man, it be one that would have good, cheap steak.

We took a housemate of ours along with us on this cheerful romp, and I sat back as my friends took in the view. I was grateful that the smoking ban had come in to effect as I pulled out my knitting and worked on my sock yarn scarf— the second project I had ever started.
