knitting

Are you a late night knitter? I find that I get so into working on a project, that bedtime can come and go and I’m simply not ready to put down my knitting. The rest of the family can head off to bed, but I’m almost always ready to do just “one more row,” and then that row turns into another, and another. I never used to really like staying up to late, but more and more, I’m just not ready to put down the knitting and head for dreamland. Maybe because it’s so peaceful knitting at night.

The TV is down low, there are no distractions, and the rows just seem to go faster, somehow. The house is dark, the streets are quiet, and the cats are even all bedded down for the night, and still, I knit on. Last night was an 11:30pm night, and I got quite a bit accomplished on my current project. Who knows what tonight may bring, but I know that once I’m in the knitting zone, I’m ready for a late night knitting spree just about every time.

Another great thing about late night kitting. If you use wooden needles, you won’t get the clickety-clack you get from metal or plastic needles, and that means you won’t keep the rest of the family awake while you knit the night hours away. Are you a late night knitter?
