I have gotten into a terrible habit. And, no, this has nothing to do with this awesome shiraz-cab blend I discovered. It would seem that every time I get into hot water with someone in my life, I have decided to make amends by offering to knit something for them. Not only am I cutting into any small bit of profit that I would be making, but it is keeping me very busy. I have a lot of opinions and a terrible sense of timing. I have had several gems in the past few weeks that maybe could have gone differently. But, they all end the same way:
"Hey, I didn't mean that your kid has a small head! Let me knit you a hat with horizontal stripes!"
"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you about that guy your girlfriend slept with. Would a scarf make you feel better?"
"I know, I shouldn't have insinuated your marriage will end in a ball of flames. Socks?"
"I wasn't talking about you! I was talking about someone else with your name/awkward personality quirk. Your dog needs a sweater!"
I might as well just start knitting a cute sock for the foot that resides in my mouth. Perhaps it would make it easier, quicker to get over if I have a stash of pre-made "I'm sorry" gifts. This could also be a recipe for disaster. I may just use it as a license to insult people, just to hand them a gift. "I hate your boyfriend! Here have this coffee cup cozy."
