You don't love it
You're not willing to make an investment
You can't knit, physically
You can't knit, for other reasons

WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE A BREAK FROM KNITTING There may be times in your life where you don't feel the urge to knit, and that's okay. Take a break, step back and regroup. We find this happens in these types of situations.

You've just finished knitting a big project, and you're mentally and physically drained
You've got a crisis in your life
You've had a forced exile from knitting
You've got something wonderful going on in your life that you need to focus on

How to Read a Chart

For flat knitting, usually odd numbered rows are read right to left and even numbered rows are either omitted from the chart because they're all purls, or are read left to right.
For knitting in the round, read all rows right to left
Don't assume! Look at the pattern for any special instructions (remember Kate's cabled slippers?).

MIND

Studies indicate that knitting may slow the onset of Alzheimer's in seniors
Stretch your mind
take on challenging new patterns
design your own patterns
improve your techniques and learn new ones (cast on's, bind off's, methods)
memorize the pattern you're working on
make calculations to allow for yarn substitutions

Kitchener Chant BODY

Short-row shaping - works wonders for adding extra fabric where you need it
Bust-darts - Knitting Daily's tutorial
customizing length - have a long or short torso? Add or subtract rows as necessary
Knitting a size not in the pattern

SPIRIT

Knitting lifts our spirits when we're down
Knitting calms our spirits when we're impatient, waiting, or worried
Knitting helps us to step beyond our comfort zone in social situations like knit-ins
Knitting helps us to slow down and quiet ourselves
Knitting helps us to develop a generous spirit
Prayer knitting allows us to pray over someone with every single stitch
