  I was browsing through the urlLink Knitter's Review Messageboard , and I began reading the urlLink Knitting Celebs, Movies, Jokes, etc. forum. I found a post in regard to the movie urlLink Lost in Translation , and more specifically, in regard to whether or not Scarlett Johansson's character in the movie is a serious knitter or not. You know, as if it truly matters. Anyway, I started reading the replies, and I came across this : "...She obviously wasn't a committed knitter. If she had been, she would have been knitting on the train, in the lobby, shopping for yarn, etc..." I guess the only way that you can be considered a committed knitter is if you let knitting and every aspect of it consume your entire life. I guess "committed knitters" are simply people who are not well rounded in any way, shape or form; nor do they show interest in anything that does not involve knitting. Moreover, committed knitters must use every single opportunity of "down time" to knit something -- anything, otherwise they clearly are not committed.
How dare a knitter simply sit in peace and just be when they could be knitting something? Committed knitters must live, breath, and think about knitting, stitches, yarn and techniques AT ALL TIMES otherwise they are simply casual knitters who do not take the craft seriously. And, when I say craft, I mean "way of life," because knitting is a way of life for committed knitters and anyone who considers it a craft or a hobby is just a casual here and there knitter. Come on now. You're kidding me, right? Why do people have to get so out of hand about things like this?
It should go like this: Knitting? Oh, cool. Not like this: OH MY GOD! KNITTING! AWESOME! I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE MYSELF UNLESS I HAVE TWO NEEDLES IN MY HANDS AT ALL TIMES!!! TO HELL WITH EVERYTHING ELSE IN MY LIFE -- I MUST KNIT!!! ... On a side note, I'm going to go see urlLink A Perfect Circle on Saturday, and I'm pretty excited about that. I also started a purple poncho (I'm SOOO gonna look like urlLink Barney in this thing, but I don't care), and I'm looking forward to perhaps finishing it in time for the concert.
