Back to my question about sock knitting and bikini waxing.
Both involve parts of the body the public rarely sees. Both require a commitment of time, money and, to one extent or another, fiber. Both seem a bit (here it comes)…unnecessary.
I ask this in the aftermath of the post-Rhinebeckian reports in which folks mentioned much hoarding of Socks That Rock, lovely stuff, yes, but so much nicer than other wonderful products, i.e. Lorna's Laces or Interlacements Toasty Toes?
Really, now. If you had the choice of knitting a sweater and waxing your eye brows—things people see—why invest all that energy fiddling with double points when you can purchase all the socks you want quite easily? Then there's the matter of subjecting your tender bits to molten, hot wax. Hot wax. The very thought makes me pale.
Having knit socks--turning the heel is a bit of a kick, but the second sock kills that high--I remain flummoxed by all the chatter. The other thing? There are some places where hot wax just doesn't belong.
Anyway, forgive all the sloppy logic.
I leave you with a bit of knitting in need of a little shave, itself.
