The Ten on Tuesday topic for 5/7 is 10 Reasons Why You Knit.

1) I like it, it's creative and it's fun to watch a project develop.

2) To make myself socks.

3) To make myself sweaters and to adjust them to fit.

4) To make things for my family - whether by request or just because.

5) To make things for my friends - it's fun to watch them wear them after they get them and know that I made that.

6)  As relaxation - I knit on my lunch break at work and at home.

7) Fiber festivals - it is fun to meet new people and see new fibers at the events.

8) To make new friends - Knit Camp is coming up in July and I can't wait.

1) I'm tired of snow.
2) I need to get a haircut but just haven't gotten around to making an appointment.
3) I'm tired of my knitting and wish I could finish a few things so I could start more new things (I did recently start one new thing).

5) I wish it was warmer out so I could get my co-worker to start walking after work.

8) I wish my kitties were more open to cuddling but they are not, it's when they want and if they want. My old kitties were cuddlers and I miss that.
9) I wish I'd win more than $1 on a scratch off ticket.
