Patience Is A Virtue...?

I am a great waiter.  I can wait patiently for my daughter or husband to get home from wherever.  I don't mind delays for Dr. appointments so I can knit in the waiting room.  Its even better when I have to take the hubby or daughter to an appointment, cause then I don't have to stop knitting to see the Dr.  Long car trips are not a problem.  I even look forward to rush hour traffic.  Bring it on! 

As long as I have my knitting, I am at peace.  It makes the time fly by.  Its those times without it that make life frustrating!  I admit I've gotten a little paranoid about being stuck without knitting.  So I made a little emergency knitting kit to keep in my car, just in case.  It has 2 different yarns, 2 different size needles, a sewing needle, safety pins (st markers, st holders, whatever!) & a printed pattern just in case.  I asked for some new double point needles for Christmas so I can make a kit for the hubby's car, too! 

I also have to admit, I don't knit while I drive.  BUT, I do have it handy for when I'm stopped at traffic lights & such.  I'm amazed at how much I can get done at a stop light.  Of course, its nothing complicated, or else I couldn't function! 

Life is good when there is knitting!

I totally agree! I always have some knitting with me. I don't look at waiting or delays as a problem like most people do; I look at them as knitting time. :)

Emergency Knitting Kits for cars -- An absolute MUST for CKD sufferers!!!! I will admit to owning multiple emergency knitting kits myself (but you already knew that, didn't you??) LOL!
