Yes I have come to the full realization of that today.
This afternoon I received the news that a friend of mine passed away. He helped me keep my sanity while we were both living in a place that was not for us with 3 others. He knew me at my worst.
I haven't seen him for a while. He went missing back in August, and was found last week in a field dead.
This is where knitting comes in. After the inital shock, I didn't want to go home. When my roommate asked me where I wanted to go, the first thing that came into mind was....a yarn shop, any yarn shop, just get me around yarn. I didn't tell her that, didn't want her to think I've lost it. She knows I'm nuts anyways. We went to a local store for a little while and then went home and I zoned out for the night.
THat confirmed it though that I've got knitting on the mind though. When I find out someone's died and all I want to do is go to a yarn store for comfort and solace. Only a knitter would get it.
Neil I'll miss you.

My sympathies on the loss of your friend. How very hard for all of you.
And, you know, there are FAR worse ways to deal with grief than sniffing yarn fumes. Keep up with that, I say.
